Cloning of FSA Website


The FSA has also issued a warning about a fraudulent website, https://www.fsaseychelles.com/, which is cloning the FSA’s official website. The public is urged not to access this fake site, as it may be attempting to steal personal and financial information.

Register of Licensees


To ensure transparency and accountability, the FSA maintains a register of licensees, which provides information on entities authorized to operate in Seychelles’ financial sector. The registry also includes details on fees, forms, and regulated entities.
