Morocco launches SARF platform for secure foreign exchange transactions

Since June 15, 2026, the Foreign Exchange Office has rolled out the SARF platform, a new system designed to manage foreign currency exchange transactions digitally, securely and in real time.

In a statement, the Office said the launch follows a nationwide training program conducted for currency exchange companies to ensure they gain «optimal mastery of the new platform’s features».

To support the rollout, an assistance unit has been set up for operators, alongside educational resources including explanatory videos and user guides detailing how to access and use the platform. According to the same source, SARF covers all foreign exchange activities and incorporates a dedicated assistance mechanism aimed at «strengthening vigilance and compliance in the fight against money laundering and terrorist financing (AML/CFT)».

The initiative is intended to «enhance compliance and traceability in foreign currency exchange transactions», while improving operator support and reinforcing regulatory oversight.
