The Swiss Financial Market Supervisory Authority (FINMA) is an independent regulatory body responsible for overseeing Switzerland's financial markets. It supervises banks, insurance companies, stock exchanges, and securities dealers to ensure market stability and protect clients. FINMA offers licensing, supervision, and enforcement services, focusing on risk-based supervision and anti-money laundering compliance. Its target audience includes financial institutions and intermediaries. FINMA's unique selling proposition is its independence and comprehensive regulatory framework, which enhances confidence in Switzerland's financial sector. It operates autonomously, funded by levies and fees from regulated entities, ensuring effective oversight without political interference[1][2][3].
