Does your FSP participate in Open Finance? The FSCA requires certain information relating to Open Finance

10/16/2023

 
Picture
​In June the Financial Sector Conduct Authority (FSCA) published the Open Finance Draft Position Paper (Draft Position Paper) for comments. The position paper sets out the policy approach by the regulator when it comes to regulating Open Finance in South Africa.
​
The FSCA now requests certain information from all financial institutions and Third Party providers that participate in Open Finance. This was requested in the FSCA Information Request 2 of 2023 (General) in October. The information must be submitted to the FSCA by no later than 10 November 2023.

Where do I submit the Information?

What is Open Finance?
​

Open Finance supports financial institutions in sharing their customers financial data with third party providers (TTPs) for the provision of Open Finance Services.
​
It relies on open APIs (Application Programming Interfaces) and data sharing to facilitate third-party developers and fintech firms in accessing and integrating financial information and services from multiple sources to assist a third party in the development of financial services for a financial customer.

This empowers individuals and businesses to authorise the sharing of their financial data with external service providers, moving away from the traditional control of banks and financial institutions over customer data and services.

This allows for the development and provision of innovative and personalised financial services and products to customers by third parties. 
Examples of Open Finance Services:

Open Finance Service

How it works

Example of Data used to provide this service

Benefit(s)

Account Aggregation

Consolidates all of the customer’s financial information into a single place.

· Transactions

· Credit

· Investments

· Mortgages

· Savings

· Retirement accounts

This is essential for Open Finance, offering customers an online, unified view of their financial data from one or more accounts.

Financial Management

The process starts with account aggregation and the data is then presented to the customer in a simplified manner such as graphs or illustrations.

This allows for automated financial decision-making based on user preferences and data. It also allows for a broader yet simpler manner in which financial product offerings are presented to customers. This is especially helpful when it comes to advice and intermediary services.

Payment Initiation

TTPs can initiate payments on behalf of the account holder with their explicit consent. This lets users make payments directly from their accounts without relying only on their bank’s systems. These TPPs can access and initiate payments from the user’s bank or other financial accounts.

· Seller bank details

· Payment instructions

· Interbank transfers

· Payment confirmation

It streamlines the payment process for users and allows users to set up recurring payments, make low-cost payments to merchants, and avoid the hassle of entering payment information for each online purchase.

Alternative Lending

TPPs securely connect to financial institutions to gather financial data. This data is then enhanced by the TPP, such as creating personalized credit scores for customers. These scores can be used by lenders, brokers, and banks to make better lending decisions based on alternative factors and customer data.

· Irregular income

· Rent payment reliability

This boosts emerging lending markets, such as peer-to-peer lending, crowdfunding, merchant cash advances, and digital wallet-based lending. It also provides for improved access to funding, simplified application and approval processes, tailored loan options, and increased transparency and competition.

Open Insurance

Sharing and using customers’ insurance data among insurers, intermediaries, or TPPs to create new applications and services.

· Insurance policy data

· Insured object coverage

· Claims history

· Internet of Things data

Assists with Tailored Insurance Products, Improved Risk Management, Enhanced Customer Experience, etc.


What Happens If I Don’t Submit the Information?
​

If an entity participates in Open Finance and fails to submit the requested information within the specified timeline it will be seen as an offence under section 267 of the Act and will, therefore be liable on conviction to a fine not exceeding R1 000 for each day during which the offence continues.

International Funds Transfer Report

9/26/2023

 
Picture

​
​On 18 August 2023, following the issuance of a notice in the Government Gazette, the amendment of Section 56 of the Financial Intelligence Centre Amendment Act of 2017 came into effect. This amendment is explained by the FIC’s Draft Guidance Note 104A, issued on 18 January 2023, as well the FIC’s International Funds Transfer Reports user guide, dated 9 February 2023.

In essence, Section 43 of FICA introduces an amendment to Section 56 within the Act. This Section deals with the repercussions when an accountable institution, as mandated, fails to report the prescribed information concerning cross-border electronic funds transfers (EFT’s).

This amended Section 56 now includes a sub-section (2) which specifies that if an accountable institution fails to report the prescribed information related to an electronic money transfer in accordance with Section 31, it not only becomes liable for an offense but is also considered non-compliant and subject to an administrative penalty.

The requirements

Section 31 of FICA imposes an obligation on accountable institutions to submit an international funds transfer report (IFTR) -

• within three days of the transaction or transfer date, when conducting electronic money transfers. 
• This report must be submitted directly to the Financial Intelligence Centre (FIC). 
• These electronic money transfers must be moved on behalf, or on the instruction, of another person, 
• across South African borders, 
• involving amounts of R20 000 and above (excluding transaction fees). 

Who must Report? 

The obligation to report international fund transfer transactions exceeding the prescribed threshold applies solely to specific categories of accountable institutions authorized to conduct the business of cross-border electronic funds transfers, for example authorised dealers (banks), the Post Office, authorised dealers with limited authority (remittance and forex dealers), FSP’s that have a direct reporting dispensation under the Exchange Control Regulations and the South African Postbank, etc. 
​
These FSP’s will, in terms of the Exchange Control Regulations, be authorised by the Treasury in accordance with conditions as the Treasury may impose, to do the following:

• Take or send out of the Republic any bank notes, gold, securities or foreign currency, or transfer any securities from the Republic elsewhere.
• Send, consign or deliver any bank notes, gold, securities or foreign currency to any person for the purpose of taking, sending or removing such bank notes, gold, securities or foreign currency out of the Republic.
• Take any South African bank notes into the Republic or send or consign any such notes to the Republic.
• Make any payment to, or in favour, or on behalf of a person resident outside the Republic or place any sum to the credit of such person.
• Draw or negotiate any bill of exchange or promissory note, transfer any security or acknowledge any debt.
• Grant any financial assistance to any person in the Republic, where as security for such financial assistance, the person granting the financial assistance in turn relies on any security, guarantee, undertaking or financial assistance, directly or indirectly furnished by – 
(i) any person resident outside the Republic; or
(ii) an affected person. 
• Grant any financial assistance to any person in the Republic, where such person – 
(i) is not resident in the Republic; or 
(ii) is an affected person.

Failure to Report?
The IFT Report must contain the specified details as stipulated in Regulation 23E of the Money Laundering and Terrorist Financing Control Regulations. Failure to adhere to these provisions constitutes an offense, subject to potential penalties including imprisonment for up to three years or a fine of up to R1 million. 
Additionally, failure to submit an IFTR within the stipulated timeframe classifies the entity or individual as non-compliant and subjects them to administrative sanctions, which may involve financial penalties reaching up to R10 million for individuals and R50 million for legal entities.

Understanding BBBEE Reporting Requirements for Financial Institutions

8/1/2023

 
Picture
In the financial sector, transformation and compliance with BBBEE (Broad-Based Black Economic Empowerment) codes play a significant role in promoting economic inclusion and diversity. Recently, we've been receiving queries from clients about BBBEE communication related to the Financial Sector Transformation Council (FSTC) and the Financial Sector Conduct Authority (FSCA). To clear up any confusion and provide clarity, let's delve into the key requirements and application of BBBEE reporting for financial institutions.
​
What is the FSTC and its Mandate?

The FSTC, or Financial Sector Transformation Council, is tasked with obtaining BBBEE statistical data from entities operating in the financial services sphere. Their objective is to monitor and assess progress concerning BBBEE within the financial sector. Annually, the FSTC sends out requests for statistical data to compile a comprehensive report on the advancement of financial institutions with respect to the Financial Sector BBBEE codes.

Applicability: Who Needs to Report?

Various sectors and companies within the financial domain are required to report their BBBEE progress to the FSTC. The entities asked to report include, but are not limited to:
• Banking institutions
• Long-term and short-term insurance companies
• Re-insurance companies
• Retirement fund administrators
• Collective investment scheme asset managers
• Financial services intermediaries and brokerage firms (FSP's)
• Public entities involved in the financial sector (e.g., DBSA, Land Bank)
• Asset management, consulting, and administration firms
• Private equity, venture capitalist, and impact investor firms
• Entities managing investments on behalf of the public (including those listed in financial indexes)

The reporting scope also encompasses underwriting management agents and industry trade associations operating within the financial sector.

What are the Penalties for Non-Compliance?

There are currently no financial penalties or criminal sanctions if you do not comply. However, If BBBEE compliance is important to you it's crucial for financial institutions to meet the reporting requirements on time. Failure to submit the necessary reports to the FSTC will result in an automatic discount of one BEE level in the next rating period. Although the Council has the right to name non-compliant institutions, there has been no such action taken yet. 

Any Exclusions from the Amended FSC?

There are certain exemptions from the Amended FSC (Financial Sector Charter) reporting. It does not apply to: 

• natural or juristic persons who do not have trading operations within the Republic of South Africa
• trading operations of such persons outside South Africa 
• managers of investments on behalf of the public who are not subject to regulation by the FSCA (such as lawyers who hold money in intermediate trusts etc.)

Reporting Process: How to Comply

The reporting process varies depending on the size and status of the financial institution:
  1. Exempted Micro Enterprises: These enterprises must submit an affidavit confirming their annual turnover and level of black ownership to the FSTC. Furthermore they must submit the completed CEO questionnaire.
  2. Qualified Small Financial Institutions (QSFI): If a financial institution qualifies as a QSFI with an annual turnover exceeding R10 million but less than R50 million, and is more than 50% black-owned (with an existing equity deal) or at least 51% black-owned (for deals concluded after the commencement date of the amended Code) or 100% black-owned, they must submit an affidavit confirming their annual turnover and BBBEE status to the FSTC.  Furthermore they must submit the completed CEO questionnaire.
  3. Financial Institutions with Turnover over R50 Million: Financial institutions with an annual turnover of R50 million or more are required to have their BBBEE status verified by a Verification Agent. The Verification Agent must then submit a verification certificate and full verification report to the FSTC within 30 days of issuing the verification certificate.  Furthermore they must submit the completed CEO questionnaire.
​
Deadline and Contact Information
Full and final verification reports must be submitted to the FSTC no later than the end of the business day on Friday, 13 October 2023. The submission is to be done electronically via email to reporting@fstc.org.za with the subject line: "FSTC 2021/22 Reporting – (name of entity])." While entities have sometimes been allowed to submit after this date in the past, it's essential to adhere to the specified deadlines.

Should any entity face difficulties in providing the requested information, they can reach out to the FSTC at reporting@fstc.org.za or call (011) 838 6696 or call us for assistance. 

Extension of Exemptions relating to Private Equity Funds

6/29/2023

 
Picture
The Financial Sector Conduct Authority (FSCA) recently released FSCA FAIS Notice 32 of 2023, which extends several exemptions pertaining to Private Equity Funds. These exemptions, which were originally set to expire on the 30th of June 2023, have now been prolonged until the 30th of June 2026. Notice 32 of 2023 comes into operation on the 1st of July 2023.

These exemptions include:
• Exemption for Financial Service Providers (FSPs) Dealing with Private Equity Funds
• Exemption for FSPs Dealing with Private Equity Funds from Section 13(1)(c) of the FAIS Act
• Exemption for Certain Juristic Representatives from Liquidity Requirements

Considering that these exemptions are nothing new, we will only provide you with a basic overview of such. 

Exemption for Financial Service Providers (FSPs) Dealing with Private Equity Funds

The exemption for Category II FSPs dealing with Private Equity Funds solely applies to older mandates concluded before the 13th of December 2012. This exemption entails that, for discretionary investment mandates entered into before the aforementioned date, there is no obligation to include a general statement addressing risks associated with investing in local and foreign financial products, including currency risks. 

However, investors must have been informed in writing about these risks within six months of the publication of Board Notice 208 of 2012 (i.e., by the 13th of June 2013). 
​
This exemption also states that a Category II FSP is exempt from meeting the liquidity requirement set out in the Determination of Fit and Proper Requirements of section 48(2) until 30 June 2026, on the condition that it only manages private equity funds.

Exemption for FSPs Dealing with Private Equity Funds from Section 13(1)(c) of the FAIS Act

Category II FSPs that provide financial services to private equity funds are also exempted from section 13(1)(c) of the FAIS Act, which prohibits individuals from offering financial services or entering into contracts related to financial services except in the name of the FSP they represent. 

Exemption for Certain Juristic Representatives from Liquidity Requirements

Juristic representatives of Category II FSPs that exclusively provide financial services to private equity funds are exempted from complying with the liquidity requirements outlined in sections 48(2) and 48(4) of the Determination of Fit and Proper Requirements.

Checklist for Compliance: What Brokers Need to Keep on File for Retail Clients According to FAIS and FICA Regulations

3/24/2023

 
Picture
Compliance with the Financial Advisory and Intermediary Services (FAIS) Act and the Financial Intelligence Centre Act (FICA) regulations is crucial for Financial Service Providers (FSPs) when dealing with clients. To meet regulatory requirements, FSPs must maintain a comprehensive compliance file for each client. In this blog post, we provide a general checklist of the items that should be included in a compliance file for a retail client in accordance with FAIS and FICA regulations. Please note this might not cover all instances and each client and product type has some changes

Compliance File Checklist:
​
Disclosure documentation: A letter of engagement outlining the services provided, fees and commissions charged, and any potential conflicts of interest.

Record keeping: A record of all client interactions, including meetings, telephone calls, emails, and correspondence.

Needs analysis: A thorough needs analysis to ensure that the products and services offered are suitable for the client's needs, objectives, and risk profile.

Risk profiling: A risk profiling assessment to determine the client's risk appetite and tolerance.
Product information: A detailed explanation of the products and services being offered, including any risks involved.

Compliance requirements: All compliance requirements related to FICA KYC (Know Your Customer) and AML (Anti-Money Laundering) regulations.

Record of advice: A record of all advice given to the client, including the rationale behind the advice.

Quotations: A record of all quotations provided to the client.

In conclusion, maintaining a comprehensive compliance file is essential for FSPs in the financial services industry. By ensuring that all necessary documentation and records are kept, FSPs can demonstrate their commitment to meeting regulatory requirements and providing clients with the necessary protection and information to make informed decisions. As a compliance outsourcing firm, we remind our clients to keep a detailed compliance file for each retail client in accordance with FAIS and FICA regulations. By doing so, our clients can have peace of mind knowing that they are meeting regulatory requirements and promoting ethical business practices within the industry.

More snags from the FSCA for Key Individuals involving their operational ability

8/18/2022

 
Picture
​There is nothing in the FAIS Act that suggests that a Key Individual needs to be positioned internally within the FSP and by this statement, the Authority is an overreach.
Over the past few years, the FSCA has been very inconsistent when reviewing Key Individual applications. It seems as if the Authority is weary of approving Key Individual applications where the Key Individual is already approved on another license. One analyst will start questioning a person’s operational ability once the Key Individual is approved on more than 1 license, while another analyst will only raise operational ability concerns after 3 approvals. At face value, the case-by-case approach that seems to be the modus operandi at the moment is prejudicial as there is really no set criteria for the operational ability test.

Yes, the role of the Key Individual is one that is critical to ensure that the management and oversight role in respect of the financial services and activities is carried out and performed by the FSP. This entails ensuring that the financial services are rendered with utmost good faith, due care, skill and diligence. We also understand that the recent strictness in the application of the operational ability requirement stems from the FSCA seeking to curb rent-a-KI situations within the industry. However, the manner in which the Authority has opted to go about doing so, is more burdensome and somewhat inefficient.

What was also very enigmatic in a recent application, was when an analyst said:

“There is also a clear intent that the FAIS Act requires a key individual to be positioned internally within the FSP to oversee the activities of that FSP as well those of the appointed representatives of the FSP and as such can therefore not be too far removed from the day-to-day activities of the business of the FSP.”

There is nothing in the FAIS Act that suggests that a Key Individual needs to be positioned internally within the FSP and by this statement, the Authority is an overreach.

My suggestion is for the Authority to decide and place on record the exact maximum number of licenses a Key Individual can be on, instead of moving the goal post as and when it is suitable. Otherwise, the “unintended consequence” would be that there will be a vast shortage in the industry thereby limiting access even to new entrants. I say “unintended consequence” because at this rate, we are not really certain of the Authority’s intention. Also, what happened to progressively “cutting the red tape” and ensuring access as stated by the President of the Republic?

​Financial Sector Transformation Council Change In Submission of Reports

5/30/2022

 
Picture
What is this?
The FSTC recently sent out important reporting changes and information. See the original communication here. To be clear, the FSTC is not to be confused with the FSCA. Although this does not fall in the realm of FAIS compliance, we thought it is a good idea to perhaps just summarise the requirements and application thereof.
 
Usually the BEE components of a business is handled internally/with HR or accountants in consultation with Verification Agents (BEE Compliance Officers) if need be.

The FSTC is mandated to obtain BBBEE statistical data from entities operating in the financial services sphere on their progress relating to BBBEE. They send out a request once a year for statistical data so they can compile their annual report on the progress of Financial Institutions with the Financial Sector BBBEE codes.

Who does this apply to?
The sectors/companies asked to report are:
  1. ​Banking;
  2. Long-term insurance;
  3. Short-term insurance;
  4. Re-insurance;
  5. Retirement fund administration;
  6. The management of collective investment scheme assets;
  7. Financial services intermediation and brokerage (FSP's);
  8. Public entities involved in the financial sector e.g. DBSA, Land Bank;
  9. Asset management, consulting and administration;
  10. Private equity, venture capitalist and impact investors;
  11. Management of investments on behalf of the public, including, but not limited to, private equity, members of any exchange licensed to trade equities or financial instruments in South Africa and entities listed as part of the financial index of a licensed exchange;
  12. Underwriting management agents; and
  13. Industry Trade Associations operating in the sector.

This does not apply to:
  1. Natural or juristic persons who do not have trading operations in the Republic of South Africa;
  2. The trading operations of natural or juristic persons outside the Republic of South Africa; and Managers of investments on behalf of the public who are not subject to regulation by the FSCA, such as lawyers who hold money in intermediate trusts etc.

How do I report if I need/want to?
  1. Exempted Micro Enterprises must submit an affidavit confirming their annual turnover and level of black ownership to the FSTC.
  2. Financial Institutions that meet the requirements of a Qualified Small Financial Institution (QSFI), that has an annual turnover of more than R10 million but less than R50 million, and are more than 50% black owned (where there is an existing equity deal in place) or at least 51% black owned (for all deals concluded after the commencement date of the amended Code) or 100% black owned, should submit an affidavit confirming their annual turnover and BBBEE status to the FSTC.  
  3. Financial institutions with an annual turnover of R50 million or more must have their BBBEE status verified by a Verification Agent. This agent must submit a verification certificate together with the full verification report to the FSTC within 30 days of issuing the verification certificate. 
  4. All of the entities above should complete and submit a CEO Survey.

Changes in Submission of Reports:
It is extremely important to note that the FSTC changed the method for companies to submit reports. The FSTC will NO LONGER accept reports via the reporting email.
The reports and supporting documents should be submitted as a folder through Drop Box. All report should now be submitted electronically to the Drop Box link: https://www.dropbox.com/request/YYZggWgIZT3BwJrh4AP5 with the folder named: FSTC 2020/21 Reporting– (name of entity).
 
FIs were requested to submit the full final verification reports, to the FSTC no later than the end of the business Friday, 12 August 2022. All reports are to be submitted electronically to the Drop Box link.
 
***Avoid editing and saving online into one drive. ***

Should an entity encounter difficulty in providing the above-requested information they should contact the FSTC at reporting@fstc.org.za, or call (011)838 6696 or get in touch with their respective Trade Associations for more clarity

​Any Penalties?
  1. All entities that do not submit the required reports to the Council will automatically be discounted by one BEE level in the next rating period.
  2. The Council also reserves the right to name institutions that have not submitted reports on a list, however we have not seen them doing so yet.
 

Financial Soundness for FAIS FSPs

9/28/2021

 
Picture
​Category 1 FSPs may no longer subtract subordinated loans from the current liabilities
​What are the financial soundness requirements?
The FAIS Act explains the Financial Soundness requirements for FSPs in Chapter 6 of the Fit and Proper Board Notice 194 of 2017. The FSP must meet the financial soundness requirements at all times.
There are different requirements for different types of FSPs, however the three main categories for most of the FSPs are as follows:
  1. General Solvency Requirement (Overall Outcome: Assets > Liabilities)
  2. Working Capital Requirement (Overall Outcome: Current Assets > Current Liabilities)
  3. Liquidity Requirement (Overall Outcome: Maintain Liquid Assets >= x/52 weeks of Annual Expenditure according to the FSP category)
 
What important changes took place regarding subordinated loans?
The most important change that we come face to face with almost monthly is the change where Category 1 FSPs may no longer subtract subordinated loans from the current liabilities in the working capital requirements. This requirement is applicable to Category 1 FSPs Holding Client Funds, and Category 1 FSPs Not Holding Client Funds.
 
How can an FSP ensure it meets the requirements?
The FAIS Act states that all FSPs should maintain monthly management accounts if these accounts are continuously monitored and compared with the financial soundness requirements the FSP should be able to maintain the financial soundness requirements.
 
What can an FSP do if they suspect that the requirements are not being met?
It is immensely important that the FSP follow one of these two steps as soon as the FSP suspects or foresees that the financial soundness requirements are not being, or will not be met, these are listed and explained as follows:
  1. Early Warning Report
  2. Rely on FSCA Exemption
 
  • The Early Warning Report is a report that can be submitted to the FSCA by the FSP or its Compliance Officers. The FSP must submit or request their Compliance Officer to submit an Early Warning Report that is certified by the CEO, controlling member, managing or general partner or trustee of the FSP, if one of the following financial statuses are true for the FSP:
  1. Assets exceed liabilities by less than 10%
  2. Current assets exceed current liabilities by less than 10%
  3. If any of the financial soundness requirements are not met or if the FSP becomes aware of any situation that may result in any of the above  

  • FSCA Exemption Application is an application that can be sent to the FSCA before the financial year end to assist the FSP with meeting the financial requirements as set out in the exemption application, this exemption does not mean that an FSP does not have to meet any of the requirements as set out in the Financial Soundness Requirements, but this exemption allows for some leeway between the Financial Soundness Requirements and the exemption requirements to assist the FSP to meet the requirements even if it is then by only meeting the requirements as set out by the exemption. There is additional documentation that must be sent together with this application within 7 days of relying on this exemption, these are as follows:
  1. Annexure 6 (Form A: Liquidity Calculation) of BN194 of 2017 to the FSCA (Liquidity Calculation certified by the CEO, controlling member, managing or general partner, or trustee of the FSP.
  2. An Action Plan showing how the FSP plans to re-establish its financial position to meet the financial soundness requirements and this plan should include the steps that the FSP will take and in what timeframe these steps will take place to ensure the financial soundness requirements that is not currently met, are met as soon as possible.

​In addition to the above, the FSP must submit the following items every 6 months from the date that
​        the FSP relied on the exemption:
  • Management accounts
  • Regularly updated Liquidity Calculation (Form A)
The exemption conditions are as follows:
Picture
​How to calculate an FSPs Financial Soundness Requirements?
The Financial Soundness requirements can be explained and calculated as follows:
Picture
​*Liquid Assets are calculated as follows:
  • Cash & cash equivalents +
  •  (Plus) Participatory interest in a Money Market Portfolio
  • (Plus) 70% of the market value of a participatory interest in a CIS, other than an investment in a money market portfolio or a CIS hedge fund
  • (Plus) 70% of the market value of a security listed on a licensed exchange provided it does not constitute more than 50% of total liquid assets
  • = Liquid Assets
​
*Annual Expenditure is calculated as follows:
  • Annual Expenditure
  • (less) staff bonuses
  • (less) employees’ and directors’, partners’ or members’ share in profit
  • (less) emoluments of directors, members, partners or sole proprietor
  • (less)  other appropriation of profits to directors, members and partners"
  • (less) remuneration that is linked to-
    • (aa)     a percentage of the FSP’s revenue; or
    • (bb)     a percentage of the revenue generated by an employee, representative or contractor of the FSP; and
    • that in the absence of such revenue the FSP has no obligation to pay the remuneration"
  • (less) depreciation
  • (less) bad debts
  • (less) any loss resulting from the sale of assets
