Not included in the Category 1 license (however simple solutions are available):
Operating Cryptocurrency Exchanges: Facilitating the buying and selling of cryptocurrencies directly from fiat currency.
*Exchange is considered as a bank in South Africa, and we advise against it as this is highly regulated and needs significantly more staff and compliance. We use one of the existing exchanges to divert risk and use their technology to interact/integrate our crypto platform, and this service is included in the monthly operational support package.
