Compli-Serve

Compli-Serve is a financial regulation consultant in South Africa with a separate service called License Assist, which includes applications for new crypto financial services providers (FSPs). Beyond licensing, it works as an outsourced compliance officer and advises on AML and governance.

Services

Four lines are listed: crypto FSP licensing, FAIS Licence Assist, AML and governance, and an external compliance officer. FAIS is the South African financial advisory and intermediary services regime, and it is the framework behind the licensing route the firm describes. An external compliance officer can fill a mandatory role for a firm that does not yet have a dedicated hire.

Markets

The services are stated for South Africa, and Namibia is linked to the profile. Details of how the Namibian side works are not provided.

Who it suits

Crypto platforms, payment companies and advisory firms that want to be authorised in South Africa and then need ongoing compliance oversight can use a single consultant for both stages. Fees, retainer sizes and timelines are not published and should be discussed with the firm.
