“Being licensed and regulated
is a major benefit for your business”
What is meant by
the term Licencing?
In various countries and jurisdictions,
governments have set up supervisory authorities to monitor and
regulate the activities of companies operating within certain
business sectors.
The prime task of every supervisory authority is to ensure as
far as it can that those institutions which it licenses and
regulates are, and remain, financially sound and competently
managed so that they offer an efficient and reliable service
to
their customers.
A licence will only be granted to an institution that meets
the fit and proper criteria to operate and provide, in a transparent
and comprehensive manner, all financial and other information
about themselves.
How does this relate to OCRA?

integrity, while satisfying the needs of our clients, since
