Established under the Financial Services Commission Act 1989, the Gibraltar Financial Services Commission “GFSC” regulates the financial services industry in Gibraltar and whose aim is to protect consumers, enhance the reputation of Gibraltar as a quality financial services centre, and promote good business.

The GFSC supervises a broad range of firms including: auditors, banks, company managers, e-money institutions, professional trustees, payment services providers, funds and fund service providers, insurance companies, managers and intermediaries, investment firms, and insolvency practitioners. Firms that wish to do business in or from within Gibraltar must meet GFSC standards and criteria both at application stage and on an on-going basis. 

GFSC supervisory work focuses primarily on the way firms are operated and governed, and the identification of risks to consumers and the reputation of the jurisdiction more generally.

All insurance and other financial legislation, newsletters and guidance notes can be found on the GFSC's website at www.fsc.gi.
