Masthead

Masthead is a South African consultancy that helps financial companies with licences and ongoing compliance. Its address is 1st Floor, Park Terraces, Golf Park, Mowbray.

Services

Three services appear in its recent material on CASP: CASP and FSP licence applications, resolving issues identified by the regulator, and ongoing financial compliance. In South Africa, crypto-asset service providers are authorised as financial services providers, so a new application, the correction of deficiencies that the regulator has pointed out, and later compliance form a natural sequence.

Sections

The company is placed under crypto licensing and compliance outsourcing. It is relevant both to businesses seeking their first authorisation and to those that have applied and received comments.

Market

The market is South Africa. Fees and timelines are not published in the information provided. Companies that have received regulatory feedback should ask how the firm approaches remediation, what documentation it prepares and whether it continues with monitoring and reporting after the licence is issued, so that the compliance programme does not lapse.
