Overview
Under the Financial Services Commission Act 2010, the Financial Services Commission (FSC) was established as an integrated regulatory body on April 1, 2011. The Commission is responsible for supervising and regulating non-bank financial institutions in Barbados, particularly those entities licensed or registered under the following Acts of Parliament:
- Insurance Act, Cap. 310
- Occupational Pension Benefits Act, Cap. 350B
- Securities Act, Cap. 318A
- Mutual Funds Act, Cap. 320B
- Co-operatives Societies Act, Cap. 378A (as it relates to the services provided by a credit union)
WHAT WE DO
FSC’s main functions include those previously discharged by the former Securities Commission, Supervisor of Insurance and Pensions, and the Co-operatives Department, in so far as it relates to credit unions. The organisation is therefore responsible for:
- Administering specified enactments, including the licensing or registering of financial institutions
- Supervising and regulating the operation of financial institutions
- Establishing standards for institutional strengthening, for the control and management of risk in the financial services sector and for the protection of consumers and creditors of financial institutions
- Promoting stability, public awareness and public confidence in the operations of financial institution
