Cointract is a recognised financial intermediary in Switzerland
Updated: Jul 26
Did you know that Cointract is accepted as a member of the VQF, a FINMA-recognised self-regulatory organisation (SRO), since October 2022? This makes us an official financial intermediary.
What does the membership imply?
Self-regulatory organisations (SROs) are officially recognised by the FINMA and act as a supervisory system in Switzerland to combat money laundering and terrorist financing. One of the largest Swiss self-regulatory organisations is the VQF in Zug.
The Financial Services Standard Association - VQF for short - is tasked with monitoring the compliance with obligations arising from the Anti-Money Laundering Act. In order to do this, the VQF conducts periodic audits of its members. The regular audits guarantee a high level of compliance.
As a member of the VQF, Cointract is therefore given the status of "financial intermediary".
