Frequently Asked Questions

Yes! Many businesses choose outsourced compliance services to ensure ongoing FSCA/NCR compliance without hiring a full-time team. At AKD Compliance & RiskKey Consulting, we offer:

  • Outsourced Key Individual (KI) services
  • Full regulatory compliance management
  • Ongoing risk assessments and training

A Key Individual (KI) is a person responsible for managing and overseeing the compliance of a Financial Services Provider (FSP) or Credit Provider. The FSCA and NCR require KIs to meet fit and proper requirements to ensure businesses operate legally within the financial sector.

To register a new FSP, you must:

  • Appoint a Key Individual (KI) who meets the FSCA’s requirements
  • Submit a FAIS License Application to the FSCA
  • Provide a compliance framework, governance structures, and risk management processes
  • Meet financial stability requirements

The National Credit Regulator (NCR) requires any business that offers credit, lending, or financial services to be registered as a Credit Provider. This ensures compliance with the National Credit Act (NCA) and protects consumers.

The licensing process can take between 4 to 12 weeks, depending on the completeness of the application, the regulatory backlog, and whether all compliance requirements are met.
