Raising the Bar for Company Service Providers

CLOSED CONSULTATION  

 
​From:
Office of the​ Prime Minister 
(Malta Financial Services Authority)
​Published on: ​25 October 2019
Running till: ​6 December 2019
​Last Updated: ​9 December 2019
  
1.        Background
 

Company Service Providers (CSPs) are crucial within the financial services sector, as they are often the first point of contact for persons wishing to undertake business activity in Malta. In this respect, CSPs are considered to be gatekeepers given their role of preventing persons who are not fit and proper from entering the financial system.

Through this proposal the Authority is aiming to raise the bar for all persons providing the services of a CSP by harmonising market entry requirements and addressing existing expectations gaps.

The Authority’s proposals may be categorised into two: [i] a proposal for a holistic regulatory framework for CSPs in Malta; and [ii] proposals in relation to the Maltese institutional architecture for the regulation of CSPs.
