As Regulation Tightens in Traditional Markets, Seychelles Emerges as a Key Player
As regulatory frameworks across major financial centers become increasingly complex and costly to navigate, more online brokers and crypto firms are turning to jurisdictions that offer clarity, efficiency, and strategic positioning. Among them, Seychelles is quickly gaining recognition—not just as an offshore alternative, but as a credible and competitive hub for online trading and virtual asset services.
One firm leading this transformation is ChangSam, a boutique corporate services provider built by former regulators. At this year’s iFX EXPO LATAM, taking place in Mexico City on April 9-10 at the World Trade Center, ChangSam will be welcoming visitors at Booth 33—ready to share how Seychelles can offer LATAM-based firms a launchpad for international growth.
Seychelles: The Under-the-Radar Gateway for Financial Expansion
Seychelles offers a compelling jurisdictional profile for financial and crypto companies:
● A territorial tax regime: income generated outside Seychelles is not taxed
● No capital gains tax and no withholding on dividends
● A modern, hybrid legal system (civil and common law)
● A dedicated VASP framework, creating a legal path for crypto and Web3 firms
● Full capital repatriation, privacy protections, and incorporation in multiple languages
● Strategic time zone (GMT+4) for global operations and market access
While traditionally overlooked, Seychelles is quickly becoming a first-choice base for regulated financial entities that want agility without compromising on compliance.
ChangSam: Built by Regulators, Driven by Relationships
Unlike high-volume corporate service providers, ChangSam is a boutique partner that delivers expert, hands-on support tailored to each client’s business model.
Led by Alain Chang-Sam, former Director of Fintech Innovation at the Seychelles Financial Services Authority, the team consists primarily of ex-regulators with a deep understanding of both the legal framework and how regulatory institutions operate. “We don’t just process clients—we build long-term partnerships,” says Alain. “With our expert understanding of the regulatory landscape and our commitment to client success, we guide firms with clarity, speed, and confidence.”
ChangSam: A Trusted Partner for Financial Firms Expanding Internationally
ChangSam serves a diverse range of financial and fintech businesses seeking reliable regulatory solutions. The firm works closely with online brokerages looking to establish robust international structures, as well as crypto and Web3 companies navigating Seychelles’ VASP act. Startups requiring licensing and compliance support also benefit from ChangSam’s expertise, alongside global firms in need of a responsive and experienced regulatory partner.
With a team of former regulators, ChangSam provides tailored services designed to streamline market entry and long-term operational success. These include regulatory licensing and authorizations, compliance outsourcing—covering AML, KYC, and ongoing advisory—corporate structuring, governance frameworks, intellectual property protection, HR services, and more.
Backed by their strong local relationships and international perspective, ChangSam provides fast-tracked, frictionless pathways into the Seychelles financial ecosystem.
