We support the long-term success of Jersey’s financial services sector for the good of our entire island community. We do this through high-quality, proportionate regulation and delivery of registry services that protect the public and fight financial crime, while also encouraging the establishment and growth of legitimate business in the island.

We are the anti-money laundering and countering the financing of terrorism supervisor for Jersey’s financial institutions, virtual asset service providers and designated non-financial businesses and professions. We are also responsible for supervising financial institutions for conduct and prudential purposes.

We operate the island’s registry, maintaining registers that include Jersey companies, business names, foundations, partnerships, and security interests.

We are a statutory body, accountable to the public through the island’s elected representatives.

Our statutory responsibilities are set out in the Financial Services Commission (Jersey) Law 1998.

Our guiding principles are set out in law to:

• reduce risk to the public of financial loss due to dishonesty, incompetence, malpractice or the financial unsoundness of financial service providers in Jersey
• protect and enhance the reputation and integrity of Jersey in commercial and financial matters
• safeguard the best economic interests of Jersey
• counter financial crime both in Jersey and elsewhere
