The Financial Services Commission of Mauritius has issued these Guidelines to establish a regulatory sandbox regime enabling fintech and innovation-driven financial services firms to test new products, services, or processes in a simulated or live environment. Applicants must demonstrate genuine innovation, testing readiness, and robust client protection to receive a fee-exempt Regulatory Sandbox Authorisation. Authorized entities operate under a maximum twelve-month testing period subject to mandatory interim and final reporting, clear client disclosure obligations, and structured exit or renewal pathways for broader market deployment.
