The financial services sector in South Africa is a diverse and complex sector that plays a crucial role in the country's economy. The industry includes a range of different institutions and services, including banks, insurance companies, investment firms, and financial regulators.

The financial industry in South Africa is regulated by a number of different bodies, including the Reserve Bank of South Africa (SARB), which is responsible for monetary policy and financial stability, and the Financial Sector Conduct Authority (FSCA), which is responsible for regulating the conduct of financial institutions and protecting consumers.
