Registration

In order to conduct financial or ancillary services in or from the AIFC, firms need to obtain a licence from the AFSA. The authorisation process enables the AFSA to identify, prevent significant misconduct or harm from occurring and to ensure that firms and individuals meet threshold conditions before a firm carries out financial or ancillary services from the AIFC.
