gateFIC — South Africa FIC Act Decision Gate
// IMMO.QUICK · GATEFIC · FIC ACT 38 OF 2001 · SARB

24,999.99 rand, a second filing.

gateFIC forensically seals that a South African institution passes fourteen parameters of the FIC Act 38 of 2001, with a standalone Cash Threshold Report filing in addition to the STR. The first African gate in the system, support for FIC-registered institutions, never a replacement for the regulator's own recognition.

In one sentence: gateFIC checks fourteen FIC Act parameters and holds the CTR filing as a standalone duty, separate from the STR, at 24,999.99 ZAR.
✓ RELEVANT IF...
  • You are an FIC-registered institution under SARB supervision
  • You need to make the 24,999.99 ZAR CTR threshold provable separately from the STR duty
✕ NOT RELEVANT IF...
  • You expect the FIC to automatically recognise the result as a complete filing
  • No South African institution or duty under the FIC Act is involved
// The problem

A cash report and a suspicion report answer two different questions.

The Cash Threshold Report at 24,999.99 ZAR is a pure amount-based filing, independent of suspicion. The STR reports suspicion, independent of amount. gateFIC checks both as standalone clusters that do not substitute for each other.

MLCO as the South African designation, with its own statutory anchoring
The Money Laundering Control Officer is the designation used in South Africa for the compliance officer. The gate checks the designation under this exact name, consistent with the FIC Act itself.
// Architecture

4 clusters, checked sequentially.

Every cluster is dispositive (material_block_mode: true), a hit blocks bindingly, not merely for documentation.

CLUSTER 1
CDD & MLCO Designation
Checks customer due diligence and the designation of a Money Laundering Control Officer.

CLUSTER 2
STR Filing
Checks Suspicious Transaction Report filing with the FIC in cases of suspicion.

CLUSTER 3
CTR at 24,999.99 ZAR
Checks the separate Cash Threshold Report filing for cash transactions at 24,999.99 ZAR or more.

CLUSTER 4
SARB Sanctions Screening
Checks the combined South African and UN sanctions list via SARB.

No case, no doubt
Every cluster returns its own sealed result. A single hit in an active cluster is enough to block the overall action.

// Clarification

What gateFIC is not.

  • Not automatic recognition by the FIC or SARB. The gate delivers a cryptographic proof, not regulatory confirmation.
  • Not a replacement for the actual STR or CTR filing with the FIC. The gate seals the pre-check, it does not itself file with the authority.

For FIC-registered institutions that want to make separate STR and CTR duties provable.
