This unit is responsible for the receipt, approval and processing of applications for registrations/renewals and classification. Applications can be sent via the post, e-mail , or dropped off at our regional or head office.
Turn around times on Applications for registrations / renewals:
Acknowledge receipt of applications within 24 hours.
Process applications and ensure certificates are issued within 10 working days.
Bank deposits that do not reflect a reference or distributor details:
If payment is made to the FPB ABSA account but does not reflect distributor reference, or no application forms are sent to FPB to attach to the funds; the cash deposit will be kept for a period of 12 months while the FPB make efforts to trace the depositor.
Should all efforts fail by the date of expiry of the twelve months, and the distributor is untraceable, the funds will be recognised as revenue by the FPB.
Once the funds are recognised by the FPB as revenue, the distributor will forfeit the right to claim the funds and cannot use the funds for future transactions.
