Binance Strongs its compliance measures in South Africa when the supervisory authorities put pressure on digital asset companies.
Exchange announced Changes to its withdrawals and deposit procedures for South African users this week. From 1 May, users will need to provide additional information, as the exchange says is to “ensure that we continue to work in full compliance with the local requirements.”
Users must enter the sender’s information when they receive any digital assets in their Binance accounts. They must also provide the recipient’s information when they charge an amount from their accounts. The required information will contain full name, residential land and the name of ‘Crypto’ exchange On withdrawals.
Failure to provide the necessary information will lead to delays or may not be processed at all, the exchange warns. In some cases, the funds can be returned to the original address.
It is the last minute of the exchange to follow South AfricaFIC Financial Intelligence Center (FIC) guidelines, which will enter into force on April 30. FIC requires all VASPs to implement Financial Action Task Force (FATF )’s travel rulestamping out Digital Asset Crime By demanding that users share identification of information about their transactional counterparties.
It is the latest effort from South African government To monitor digital assets, a sector that has high growth in recent years. The country is home to Africa’s second largest digital asset market, after NigeriaBut it has a more mature and regulated trade in ecosystems than its West African rival.
South Africa also has the continent’s most advanced VASP license regime. Last year issued that 248 licenses to vasps of 420 applications.
This explosive growth has also attracted the attention of the country’s taxman. A month ago the South African revenues Service (SARS) warned the “crypto” industry that it would take strict measures against possible taxes.
For Binance, Africa is now proven a tougher market, with regulatory authorities that burst the whip on non-compatible and unregistered VASPs.
