Established under the Financial Sector Regulation Act of 2017, the FSCA replaced the Financial Services Board (FSB) in 2018. It operates within South Africa’s “Twin Peaks” regulatory model, where the FSCA handles market conduct and the Prudential Authority (PA), a division of the South African Reserve Bank, oversees the prudential aspects and safety of financial institutions.
