Your money is never Omnea’s money

Where funds are placed in custody, they are administered by a licensed administrative financial services provider and held by its independent nominee. Omnea provides the payments and technology, and never holds or owns customer funds in custody.

Custody and administration of iAccounts are provided by Automated Outsourcing Services (Pty) Ltd (AOS), an authorised financial services provider (FSP 650), with Investors Independent Nominee (Pty) Ltd (IIN) as its independent nominee. Omnea is a registered Third Party Payment Provider and is not a financial services provider.

01
Ringfenced accounts
Allocated funds sit with the custodian in iAccounts, with the client as beneficial owner.
02
Verified before custody
Incoming funds are reconciled first; only verified amounts move into custody.
03
Reconciled every day
Our ledger is matched daily against the independent administrator’s own records.
04
No investment decisions
Omnea is never the counterparty for client funds and does not trade them.
