The Financial Intelligence Centre (FIC) is the national center in South Africa responsible for gathering, analyzing, and disseminating financial intelligence to combat money laundering, terrorism financing, and protect the integrity of the financial system. As mandated by the FIC Act, the FIC identifies proceeds of crime, enforces compliance, shares information with relevant authorities, formulates policy, and upholds international obligations related to anti-money laundering and combating financing of terrorism. Operating under the oversight of the National Treasury, the FIC plays a crucial role in ensuring financial transparency, security, and cooperation on a global scale.
