Financial services pre-employment screening

Assessing the fitness and propriety of employees through Financial Services pre-employment screening is a mandatory practice for banks, building societies and other financial institutions. 

The Senior Managers & Certification Regime (SM&CR) also requires FCA-regulated firms to undertake criminal background checks and referencing for senior management roles.

Insider risks or reputational harm can, however, be an issue at any level within your firm. 

Security Watchdog has developed a full suite of pre-employment screening verification, including financial integrity and fraud verification, for roles at all levels.
