Anjouan is an island forming part of the Comoros Islands, a group of islands in the Mozambique Channel, about two-thirds of the way between northern Madagascar and northern Mozambique. Who would guess that this tiny place is home to a regulated jurisdiction and is one of only approximately fourteen in the world. The offshore centre was established in July of 2003 and the autonomous government of Anjouan created a new set of rules which was legally passed through the parliament, The Offshore Finance Authority Act of 2005 created the Anjouan Offshore Finance Authority, which has been granted powers to regulate all offshore activity on the island. With autonomy came opportunity and with opportunity, the chance to establish Anjouan's island nation as an financial centre for banking, Insurance and Gaming Licenses as well as e commerce and industry.
Anjouan has an efficient financial infrastructure for now and the 21st century.
Yet, as Anjouan looks to the future, Anjouan continues to uphold it's traditions and customs which make Anjouan both unique and special. With the help of foreign expertise, the Anjouan financial centre is now one of the major financial jurisdictions in the world.
Anjouan Corporate Services Ltd now offers full office facilities in Anjouan, and has staff speaking French, Arabic and English. This far flung jurisdiction is actually central to many centers of business and boasts one casino and two mobile gambling sites. Compared to the biggest regulated jurisdiction Kahnawake that has 83 casinos, 38 poker, 5 bingo, 1 sportsbook and 5 mobile gambling sites the tiny jurisdiction of Anjouan has room to grow. Unfortunately this licensing authority is hit by fraudulent operators who claim to be registered with the jurisdiction so you should check the validity by checking on the Government web site where many of these unauthorised companies are listed.
