FICA requirements

If you are already a Standard Bank client, you may not need to submit any FICA documents provided that your FICA on file is up to date. Everything else remains the same on the page.

Once you’ve gathered the required documents, please send these through to ‘SBG Securities KYC’ by emailing [email protected] and we will proceed with the onboarding process.

Please view the list of documents required for South African Individuals below:

1. Original certified copy of a valid South Africa Identification Document or a valid unexpired passport in the case of a foreign national.
2. Proof of residential address, for example, a utility bill such as a water and electricity bill, a telephone bill (not older than three months), or a current lease agreement. The documents must be in the name of the applicant.
3. Proof of income tax number, for example, a copy of an official document issued by the South African Revenue Services (SARS). An IRP5 will not be accepted.
4. Cancelled cheque or a certified copy of your bank statement (not older than 3 months). The name of the bank account must be in the name of the applicant.
5. Proof of the tax clearance certificate issued by SARS, in respect of the utilization of your annual offshore investment allowance, if applicable.
