80eight in South Africa
80eight is a South African financial services provider, licensed by the Financial Sector Conduct Authority (FSCA) as FSP 49010. The FSP licence authorises 80eight to render financial services in South Africa — including services in crypto assets — and holds the business to the FSCA's fit-and-proper, conduct and reporting standards.
80eight is also an accountable institution under the Financial Intelligence Centre Act (FICA). That means client identification and verification, transaction monitoring and regulatory reporting are built into how money moves on the platform — not bolted on afterwards.
