Blog post from Didit
As cryptocurrencies gain traction in South Africa, crypto exchanges must navigate a stringent regulatory landscape governed by the Financial Sector Conduct Authority (FSCA) and the Financial Intelligence Centre Act (FICA), which mandate Know Your Customer (KYC) and Anti-Money Laundering (AML) procedures. To comply, exchanges should implement a detailed ID verification process that includes data collection, document and liveness verification, facial recognition, and ongoing monitoring. Selecting the right ID verification technology is crucial, with Didit emerging as a leading choice due to its AI-native platform, modular architecture, and seamless integration capabilities.
