Fund Safeguarding

Safeguarding is a process used by Financial Institutions to protect funds that they hold in trust for the beneficial use of their clients. The primary objective of Safeguarding is to protect client funds in a way which external factors or company dynamics do not affect them. This ensures the funds remain safe and accessible.

In compliance with the Payment Services Act 2019, this ensures your funds are protected and held in a segregated Safeguarded account. This is a specially designated account, completely separate from our operational account which ensures there is no mingling of client and company funds.
