The South African Financial Sector Regulatory Authority (FSCA) has warned the nation’s public in opposition to trading on the Binance cryptocurrency change.

In a press release launched on Friday, the FSCA said that the Binance Group, an “international company” primarily based within Seychelles, isn’t approved to supply financial companies within the nation. Binance is headquartered within the Cayman Islands and Seychelles.

As half of the warning, the FSCA said that South Africans are utilizing a Telegram group to enter Binance’s cryptocurrency change companies within the nation.

In addition to the warning regarding the use of Binance, the financial regulator also reminded South Africans that crypto investments usually are not regulated within the nation. “If something goes wrong, you cannot get your money back, and there is no right to reclaim anyone,” added the FSCA assertion.

The FSCA additionally urged the South African public to verify the registration standing of establishments within the financial and funding sectors earlier than doing enterprise with such corporations.

Binance didn’t instantly reply to Cointelegraph’s request to touch upon the matter.

The FSCA assertion is simply the newest in a sequence of warnings and outright bans in opposition to the Binance by financial regulators in many jurisdictions.

On Thursday, Singapore’s financial authority ordered Binance to cease offering companies within the nation because of a possible breach of fee rules.

Back in August, the Dutch central financial institution claimed that Binance was working illegally. Regulators have scrutinized the significant crypto change in international locations like Italy, Japan, Thailand, the United States, and the United Kingdom.

For its half, Binance has emphasized its willingness to work with regulators and even implemented a compulsory id verification program for all customers.
