Registry

We hold and update 15 registers including the central register of beneficial ownership, companies, business names, foundations, partnerships and security interests.

We are one of very few jurisdictions to benefit from the regulator and entity registries operating under a single Financial Services Commission.

Our aim is to maintain a customer-centric approach so all our users have access to accurate and reliable information. Our responsibilities include:

• assessing and recording beneficial ownership and control details
• monitoring and vetting adherence to the Sound Business Practice Policy.

Each new application is considered against our guiding principles which are:

• reducing risk to the public of financial loss due to dishonesty, incompetence, malpractice or the financial unsoundness of financial service providers
• protecting and enhancing the reputation and integrity of Jersey in commercial and financial matters
• safeguarding the best economic interests of Jersey
• countering financial crime both in Jersey and elsewhere.
