Benefits to Financial Institutions

Partnering with ²ÝÝ®tv FMA

Self-regulation - The foreign exchange market used to be viewed as an unregulated market. When trading volumes soared in the 1970’s, ²ÝÝ®tv FMA members felt the need for professional internal rules and started drafting them. This led to the first self-regulatory Code of Conduct proposed by professionals - the ²ÝÝ®tv Model Code. It was well received and appreciated by banks’ management, central banks, and regulators all over the world. It set a global framework much needed in a free market, operating 24 hours a day, almost 7 days a week. Until its last version, published in February 2015, it was an exception in the financial world.

Over 40 years, the Model Code underwent a series of changes to reflect new technology, new professions, new populations and new ethical frameworks. More recently, the Model Code is acknowledged as having made a significant contribution to the FX Global Code published in May 2017. ²ÝÝ®tv FMA also participated directly in the Market Participants' Group working with the FX Working Group responsible for drafting the new Code.

The E-Learning, Attestation and Certification Portal (ELAC) offers individuals, teams and organisations an effective service to monitor, measure and maintain up to date knowledge of the FX Global Code, and other industry Codes, supporting adherence and attestation (of adherence) to relevant competent authorities.
