Get registered with an officially recognized SRO via membership:
- SRO licensing
- SRO registration
- Single or dual supervision
A SRO (Self Regulatory Organization) is an organization that exercises a certain degree of regulatory authority over an industry or a profession. The regulatory authority may be applied in addition with government regulations, or it can fill the absence of government oversight and regulation in a certain industry.
Depending on the object of activity of a company, it may be necessary to apply for licensing and registration with an officially recognized SRO. This is usually done via membership
In Switzerland, The Anti – Money Laundering Act states that financial intermediaries can become members of a SRO under civil law. This is a way to ensure compliance with due diligence requirements, as an alternative to the direct supervision made by the Swiss Financial Market Supervisory Authority (FINMA).
Financial intermediaries, who operate on a commercial basis, must either hold a FINMA license or become member of a SRO recognized by FINMA. SRO regulations and amendments are approved by FINMA and they define how the affiliate financial intermediaries implement legal requirements of The Anti – Money Laundering Act.
