Compliance Challenges for Bureau de Change Operators

Why Compliance is Critical for Bureau de Change Operators

Operating a Bureau de Change business in Seychelles requires navigating stringent regulatory frameworks, particularly under the AML/CFT Act and FATF standards. As a critical player in the currency exchange ecosystem, compliance is essential to prevent money laundering, terrorist financing, and other financial crimes.

Beyond regulatory obligations, compliance safeguards your reputation, maintains licensing, and ensures long-term success in an increasingly scrutinized financial environment.

At Albright Compliance Advisors, we empower Bureau de Change operators with tailored compliance solutions, training programs, and governance frameworks to meet their obligations and achieve operational excellence.
