Regulation

Day to day responsibility for the regulation of the finance sector rests with the Guernsey Financial Services Commission, which was established under the Financial Services Commission (Bailiwick of Guernsey) Law, 1987 with general and statutory responsibilities. The Commission was one of the world's first such unitary bodies, with the regulation of banking, insurance and investment activity being carried out under one roof. Regulated entities now include banks, company administrators, directors, insurers, insurance intermediaries, investment firms and intermediaries and trust administrators.
