  1. Fintech In Mauritius

  2. Mauritius Africa Fintech Hub • The Mauritius Africa FinTech Hub (MAFH) has been set up with assistance from the Mauritius government and Economic Development Board to bring some substance to the environment needed to promote Mauritius on this front. This hub brings together innovators, entrepreneurs, government agencies and corporates, as well as working with other African Fintech Hubs to allow financial service providers and Fintech companies to work together to create products in a safe, innovative and nurturing environment. They were even giving free office space for those wanting it!

  3. Regulatory Sandbox Licence • The Regulatory Sandbox Licence was created to enable innovative businesses to exist where there is no current legal or regulatory framework. It is run in Mauritius through the Economic Development Board, and allows companies to start, in a well-defined and controlled manner allowing the authorities to understand it and either work to draft new legislation or find another way to keep innovation alive. This is predominantly aimed at Fintech projects but ultimately it is open to any RegTech, PropTech, EdTech etc.

  4. The Digital Custodian Licence • The Custodian Services (Digital Asset) Licence was enabled in 2019 to create a licence for those who want to store digital assets on another’s behalf. The Financial Services (Custodian Services (Digital Assets)) Rules 2019 came into operation in March 2019. Most of us are familiar with the role of a Custodian and this simply allows the licencee to offer the facility to hold digital assets. In a September 2018 Guidance Note the FSC has recognised digital assets as an asset class for sophisticated and expert investors.

  5. Security Token Offerings • Since digital assets are deemed Securities, it follows that a Security Token Offering is regulated in Mauritius by the Securities Act. Thanks to Guidance Notes issued by the FSC, Securities Token Offerings and Security Token Trading Systems are both permitted and provided for and this is another string to the bow for FinTech in Mauritius.
