The Financial Services Act (FinSA) states that any client advisor who is required to register in a Swiss client advisor register, must provide proof that they have sufficient knowledge in accordance with Art. 6 FinSA. This requirement can be met by completing the Client Advisor Register Certifications on VisionCompliance. 24 months after the initial registration, the registration must be renewed. The client advisor register will only renew the registration, if the client advisor submits proof to have attended a FinSA code of conduct refresher course recognized by the client advisor register.
This FinSA Refresher Course was realized by experts from PricewaterhouseCoopers (PwC) and covers the topics required for the renewal of the registration at a Swiss client advisor register, as required under FinSA.
At the end of the refresher course, the client advisor obtains a training attestation which must be submitted to the Customer Advisor Register. This attestation can be found in the client advisor account of the VisionCompliance online shop where it can be downloaded.
The certification is recognized by RegServices by BX Swiss AG and other client advisor registers.
