About
South Africa has successfully exited the FATF grey-list! This monumental achievement, confirmed following the FATF's June 2025 determination, marks a new and promising era for the nation's financial standing and global reputation.

Join our panel of regulatory and industry experts for a critical discussion on the profound implications of this de-listing, the evolved compliance landscape, and the strategic opportunities now available for your business.

A New Era for International Compliance: South Africa's Successful De-listing

Since being placed on the FATF's list of "Jurisdictions under Increased Monitoring" in February 2023, South Africa embarked on an intensive and ultimately successful campaign of regulatory reform. This national effort has culminated in the country now being assessed as ‘Compliant’ or ‘Largely Compliant’ with 37 of the 40 FATF Recommendations, leading to its removal from the grey-list.

This de-listing signifies a validated commitment to robust AML/CFT controls. For businesses, this means understanding how to leverage this improved status, maintain the high standards achieved, and capitalize on renewed international confidence. This webinar will provide the strategic foresight you need to navigate this new and exciting reality.

What You Will Learn:
  • The Journey to Success: A recap of how South Africa progressed from its February 2023 grey-listing to successfully completing all 22 action items and achieving de-listing.
  • The New Regulatory Landscape: Understand the practical impact of the key legislative amendments on your daily compliance obligations and how they underpin South Africa's new status.
  • Sustaining Effectiveness: Gain insight into the importance of "sustained implementation" post-de-listing, and what this means for continuously optimizing your internal controls and reporting to prevent future challenges.
  • Economic Opportunities: Learn about the positive impacts of the de-listing on foreign capital investment and correspondent banking, and how South Africa's restored reputation unlocks new competitive advantages.

Participants will receive a certificate upon attending the webinar.
