Jersey is one of the few jurisdictions where the regulator and registry operate within a single organisation, the Jersey Financial Services Commission (JFSC). This structure helps ensure consistent standards and a streamlined experience.
Registry’s primary function is to assess incorporation applications to ensure they meet legal obligations and align with the island’s risk appetite. We maintain several registers, including Jersey companies, business names, partnerships, beneficial ownership and security interests.
Our dedicated supervision team coordinates and delivers a programme of inspections, as well as systematic review of data submitted to Registry, to ensure information is accurate and up to date.
Within the international registry community, Jersey is regarded as a centre of excellence. Registry manages global continuance, cross-border mergers and international transparency requirements.
Our purpose
The JFSC’s purpose is set out in the Financial Services (Jersey) Law 1998 and are guided by four key principles:
- reduce risk to the public of financial loss due to dishonesty, incompetence, malpractice or the financial unsoundness of financial service providers
- protect and enhance the reputation and integrity of Jersey in commercial and financial matters
- safeguard the best economic interests of Jersey
- counter financial crime both in Jersey and elsewhere
A core part of our statutory responsibility is to operate the Jersey Companies registry.
