SUMMARY:Crypto Assets Regulation and Compliance Conference 2025
DESCRIPTION:Crypto assets – transforming the financial landscape in the sub-Saharan region\nThe adoption of cryptocurrency (crypto) payments is surging in South Africa\, reshaping the country’s financial landscape and positioning it at the forefront of a global digital revolution. \nRecent data from FiveWest reveals a dramatic increase in the use of crypto for everyday transactions\, underscoring the nation’s readiness to embrace innovative financial solutions. In just six months\, the total transaction volume has soared by an impressive 26.50%. \nCrypto assets were declared as ‘financial products’ under section 1 of the Financial Advisory and Intermediary Services (FAIS) Act on 19 October 2022. \nEarlier this year the Financial Sector Conduct Authority (FSCA) confirmed that it had approved a total of 138 institutions to be licensed as Crypto Asset Service Providers (CASPs). The total number of applications received to date is 383. \nIn sub-Saharan Africa\, the crypto economy comprises 2.3% of global transactions (July 2022 to June 2023)\, with $117.1 billion in on-chain value. Despite its small size\, key populations in countries such as Nigeria (second on Chainalysis’s Global Crypto Adoption Index)\, Kenya (21)\, Ghana (29)\, and South Africa (31) show significant crypto adoption. \nA 2022 study by Triple A indicates that 9.44% of South Africa’s population owns crypto assets\, with an expected 43% usage by 2030. \nThe call for regulation has certainly come a long way and it is going to be a complex situation keeping up with the regulatory environment as the landscape is changing continuously.\nThe Crypto Assets Regulation and Compliance Conference will take place on 12 & 13 March 2025. \nThis conference differs from other crypto or blockchain events as it focuses solely on regulatory governance\, compliance and risk\, and explores the role of bank\, service providers and government in adopting and establishing the role of players in the crypto assets eco-system. \nThe aim of the conference is to bring together crypto asset and blockchain providers\, financial intermediaries\, transaction processors\, trading platforms\, payment and wallet providers\, government and banks to discuss\, network and learn from one another as well as the expert speaker panel. \nThe programme will cover issues such as : How digital assets are transforming financial markets\, regulation and the reporting framework\, risks banks are facing\, AML\, cross border financial flows\, compliance issues and technology. \nThe conference is taking place hot on the heels of our very successful annual AML & Financial Crime Southern Africa Conference which was attended by nearly 300 people.\nMark your calendars for 12 & 13 March 2025 and secure your spot at this premier crypto event. \nWe invite all potential delegates to this important industry event.

SUMMARY:Regulatory Risk & Compliance for Non-Bank Financial Institutions Conference
DESCRIPTION:Nonbank financial sector vulnerabilities surface as financial conditions tighten\n\n\n\n\nAs trends and shifts in the financial sector increases\, NBFIs have emerged as key players in the financial sector. \nIt is vitally important to understand and screen this expanding financial sector that comprises a line-up of institutions beyond banks.\nNonbank financial intermediaries including investment funds\, pension funds\, insurers\, money market funds and hedge funds\, also play a key role in the global financial system by providing financial services and credit and thus supporting economic growth. \nThe growth of the NBFI sector accelerated after the global financial crisis\, accounting now for nearly 50 percent of global financial assets. As such\, the smooth functioning of the nonbank sector is vital for financial stability. \nThe resilience of the non-bank financial sector and the supporting market infrastructure is crucial for the financial system to support the real economy and to absorb rather than amplify shocks.\nHenceforth robust surveillance\, regulation\, and supervision are essential due to the tightening in policies\, digital challenges and several other factors.\nTo assess the financial stability implications pension funds\, insurance developments\, academics and policy makers should improve their understanding of risks arising from the behavior of non-bank financial institutions and the evolution of the supporting market infrastructure\, and how to deal with those risks. \nThis conference will focus on bringing the key role players from NBFI’s- insurance companies\, pension funds\, investment intermediaries\, microloan organisations together at one forum to discuss and learn how they can tackle the challenges and opportunities they face on meeting regulatory and reporting requirements. \nTopics will be discussed under the following sections: regulatory risk and compliance challenges\, financial inclusion\, market conduct and consumer education\, alternative finance market\, ecosystem banking and innovation & technology. \nAs organisers of the annual AML & Financial Crime Southern Africa Conference and the Regulatory Risk & Compliance Conference\, Trade Conferences International (TCI) is once again looking forward to welcoming speakers to this industry event!

SUMMARY:Evolution of Cross-Border Payments
DESCRIPTION:The Evolution of Cross- Border Payments Conference to be hosted on 15 & 16 November at the Indaba Hotel Fourways will seek to address the ever evolving cross-border payment landscape in southern Africa. \nSince 2011 TCI has held 7 conferences focusing on payments. Our knowledge within the payment industry is extensive. TCI is known for the first payment conference hosted in South Africa. \nCross-border payments have undergone dramatic changes over the past fifty years. Today\, one of the realities of real-time payments is that they are initiated and received 24 hours a day\, 7 days a week (24/7) and 365 days a year. \nDigital currencies employing cryptography\, especially stablecoins and central bank digital currencies\, are entering the mainstream and raising concerns among banks and financial institutions over the future of payments. \nPayment APIs\, open banking\, and contextual banking are allowing new players to enter the payment eco-system and challenge conventional payment processing practices. Compliance and regulatory requirements have made cross-border payments complicated and costly. \nThis year’s two day conference will focus on important issues facing southern Africa cross-border payment landscape – best approaches in achieving cheaper\, faster\, more transparent cross-border payments; mega trends disrupting the cross-border payment landscape; role of application programming interfaces a framework for cross border payments; impact of cross-border payments on AML compliance; analysis of the e-commerce landscape; CBDC interoperability\, how biometric solutions can transform cross border payments and much more ….. \nOver 25 industry-leading speakers will be sharing their knowledge and insights with delegates giving them an in-depth understanding on how to develop more efficient and streamlined cross-border payment systems to support global economic activity and how to identify significant opportunities for innovation and growth. \nThe conference targets professionals from banks\, financial institutions\, service providers\, consultancies and government. \nWe invite potential delegates to join us at the conference\, so as to once again create the ideal platform for information and knowledge sharing. Involvement will create excellent networking opportunities for sponsors\, exhibitors\, delegates and speakers. \nAs organisers of the annual AML & Financial Crime Southern Africa Conference\, Trade Conferences International (TCI) is proud to bring delegates another excellent event.

DESCRIPTION:Despite the rigid AML regulations being enforced in all corners of the world\, money laundering and terror financing continue to be a problem\, with global FinCrime numbers are soaring sky high. The 8th instalment of the annual AML & Financial Crime Southern Africa Conference takes place against the background of the recent grey listing of both South Africa and Nigeria. After Turkey\, South Africa is the second G20 economy to have been added to the grey list\, while they join 18 countries on the grey list and 2 on the black list.
