Market participants must maintain transparent pricing, implement robust governance and conflict-of-interest controls, and adhere to strict know-your-customer and anti-money laundering protocols. The Code mandates accurate transaction reporting, effective complaint resolution within five working days, and grants the central bank enforcement powers to ensure compliance across all retail FX activities.
