PCC SUMMARY
Accountable institutions, in fulfilment of their compliance obligations with the Financial Intelligence Centre Act, 2001 (Act 38 of 2001) (FIC Act), are required to obtain, assess and report certain personal information and special personal information in relation to their clients. These obligations as set in the FIC Act cannot be circumvented, or limited owing to data privacy laws including the Protection of Personal Information Act, 2013 (Act 4 of 2013) (POPI Act). Complying with the various obligations set out in the FIC Act constitute complying with obligations imposed, required and authorised by law. Accountable institutions should, however, consider the principles set out in data privacy laws to ensure that they do not contravene any such laws.
