The AFB has c170 foreign banks in its membership, representing c80% of the foreign bank market. This includes firms from all around the world, including G-SIBs such as Citigroup, ICBC, JPMorgan, BNP Paribas, MUFG, to banks with smaller operations in the UK.

AFB is here to support all our members and ensure their businesses in the UK thrive. Foreign banks engage in a wide range of banking and investment business activity in the UK, primarily, but not exclusively, in the wholesale markets. They make a significant contribution to London’s standing as a major international financial centre and to the depth and breadth of global financial markets. They employ thousands of people across the UK and invest billions of pounds each year.

The Association of Professional Compliance Consultants, or APCC, is the body for compliance consultants who advise firms regulated in the UK. The APCC is active in enhancing the professional standards of compliance consultants and is recognised as a trade body by the FCA and other regulators. This provides our members with significant benefits in terms of direct access to the Regulators as well as business leads. The APCC often works in conjunction with the FCA to pilot or test new initiatives, and we also provide with valuable feedback on specific subjects as requested by them. Our members come from all sectors of the financial services industry. Many firms specialise in a specific sector such as fund management or investment retail intermediaries, and, in a sign of the times, we are now very active in the Consumer Credit arena. Other members have cross sector capability and range from sole traders to the largest consultancies in the sector, all benefitting from the membership as part of the wider consulting community.
