The Seychelles Financial Services Authority is the autonomous regulatory body responsible for the non-bank financial services in the Seychelles.

The Authority is also responsible for the registration of International Business Companies, Foundations, Limited Partnership and International Trust in the Seychelles. The predecessor of the FSA, the Seychelles International Business Authority Act (SIBA) was enacted in 1994 with the objective of monitoring, supervising and co-ordinating the conduct of international business activities from within Seychelles and to promote Seychelles as a centre for international business activities. Acknowledging the need for greater transparency and visibility as a regulator of financial services business, the SIBA Act was repealed and replaced with the Financial Services Authority Act, 2013 on the 1st of March 2014. Having celebrated over 25 years of existence, the Authority strives to retain the confidence of investors which it serves by maintaining a robust and modern regulatory framework and maintaining its excellent reputation as a premier international business center. The Authority remains committed to meeting strategic objectives while maintaining soundness and resilience of our financial services sector while adhering to international norms and standards.
