All South African Foreign Exchange Intermediaries are Invited to Join

SAATA - The South African Association of Treasury Advisors

ABOUT THE
ASSOCIATION

Founded in 2019 in response to mounting pressure on individual Foreign Exchange Financial Services Providers, the Association was constituted to act as a representative body in discussion and legislative matters on behalf of the industry as a whole. Membership is voluntary.

In response to a growing industry and the need for operators to comply with relevant legislation and regulations, the SAATA industry body has been formed to act on behalf of foreign exchange intermediary financial services providers in South Africa.

The goal of the Association (SAATA) is to enable and facilitate open and constructive discussion and representation between our members and Stakeholders including government departments, committees and regulators.

We are pleased that we have achieved a membership of well over 80% of the industry! Thank you for your confidence.
