Financial Services Commission (FSC)

The Financial Services Commission (FSC), Mauritius is the integrated regulator for the non-bank financial services sector and global business in Mauritius. It regulates, supervises, licenses, and promotes a secure and dynamic financial-services environment outside the banking sector.

Jurisdiction & Scope
The FSC’s remit covers non-bank financial services and global business in Mauritius. Its role includes regulation and supervision of licensed entities operating under the relevant financial-services laws, while the banking sector falls outside its scope. This makes it particularly relevant for investment firms, global business structures, insurance-related activities, securities activities, and other licensed non-bank financial-services operations in Mauritius.

Licensing & Authorisation
The FSC licenses entities under the relevant Acts and applies activity-specific licensing requirements depending on the type of financial service or business being conducted. Its consolidated licensing and fees rules make clear that licences can include approvals, authorisations, recognitions, or registrations, and that applications must be made according to the relevant form and framework for the activity concerned.

Public Register & Verification
The FSC publishes licensing resources, codified lists, investor alerts, communiqués, and other regulatory materials on its official website. These public tools help users check whether a firm is licensed or otherwise recognised under the FSC framework and whether any alerts or regulatory concerns have been issued.

Regulatory Role
The FSC is a key regulator for due diligence on non-bank financial-services firms and global business operators in Mauritius. Its licensing framework, public alerts, and regulatory publications help users assess whether an entity is properly authorised and whether it is operating within the scope of the permissions it claims to hold.
