Why non-bank financial institutions must attend this year’s AML & Financial Southern Africa Conference

09 July 2025 | People and Companies | Events | Trade Conferences International

Do you think anti-money laundering is only a concern for banks?

If so, you are making a big mistake.

The FIC is clamping down on non-bank financial institutions and the pressure is on South African companies to adhere to strict compliance rules and reporting procedures.

Estate agents, gambling operations, crypto asset providers, lawyers, trusts and credit providers are all legally binded to complete either Directives 6 or 7 risk and compliance returns.

Compliance with AML regulations protects reputation, enhances trust with customers and partners, and helps avoid severe financial and legal consequences

There is no better way for non-bank financial institutions that want to know more and stay compliant to attend the 10th installment of the Anti-Money Laundering & Financial Crime Southern Africa Conference.

The conference is taking place this year on 9 & 10 September at the Indaba Hotel, Johannesburg.

Last year nearly 300 people attended the conference.

Join us at the biggest and most popular event of its kind in Africa.
