Wiremit Says It Becomes Zimbabwe's First FIU-Registered Crypto Firm
- —Zimbabwe introduced its VASP regime in June 2026 via Statutory Instrument 99
- —FIU registration costs $500 initially and $400 for annual renewal
- —FIU says AML registration alone is not authorization to do business
- —Wiremit operates in payments and cross-border remittances
Why it matters: The first case will test whether Zimbabwe can bring its largely informal crypto market under AML oversight without driving operators away.
