The FinTech Lab is a regulatory "sandbox" that allows firms to provide financial services in a test environment with customized regulatory requirements established by AFSA and subject to specific licence conditions, including limits on transaction size and number of customers. The FinTech Lab was established at AIFC to foster innovation in the financial industry. It is expected that, following the completion of testing at the FinTech Lab, SkyBridge Digital Finance Ltd will continue to provide services in accordance with applicable AIFC rules, but it is also possible that the firm may not be able to continue to provide services within or outside of the AIFC. Given that SkyBridge Digital Finance Ltd offers services to clients in a testing regulatory environment and that risk is an inherent part of innovation, there is the potential for loss of investment and possible other losses associated with the use of this service.
SkyBridge Digital Finance Ltd is authorized by the AIFC financial regulator, Astana Financial Services Authority ("AFSA"), to carry out the following regulated activities: Arranging Deals in Investments, Dealing in Investments as Principal (as a matched principal), Dealing in Investments as Agent, Advising on Investments in relation to securities tokens and digital assets in the FinTech Lab* test environment (AIFC's regulatory sandbox) under licence #AFSA-G-LA-2023-0006 with an expiration date of October 17, 2025. Licence status and validity can be verified on AFSA's website (www.afsa.kz).
Customers and individuals who are dissatisfied with the services or products offered by SkyBridge Digital Finance Ltd or its employees may file a complaint with the Astana Financial Services Regulatory Committee ("AFSA"), the financial regulator of the Astana International Financial Center.
