The Financial Services Authority of Seychelles has issued these guidelines to establish the application process and regulatory criteria for obtaining a Securities Exchange Licence under the Securities Act, 2007. Applicants must submit a comprehensive package including constitutional documents, audited financial statements, prescribed operational manuals, and a US$5,000 fee, which the Authority reviews within a six-month service standard. The licence is granted based on fitness and propriety, mandatory compliance officer appointments, and ongoing obligations such as a US$10,000 annual fee, with clear provisions for suspension or revocation upon non-compliance.
