The Financial Action Task Force's (FATF) confirmed at its Plenary held during the week of 20 – 24 October 2025 that South Africa has been removed from the FATF's greylist. The country was originally added to the Financial Action Task Force (FATF) greylist in February 2023, placing it under enhanced monitoring due to deficiencies in its anti-money laundering and counter-terrorism financing (AML/CFT) framework.
