Pre-employment screening for financial services

Employees in the financial sector work with confidential information and financial resources. Accessing customers’ sensitive information and understanding their financial data involves risk. Therefore, employment screening is very important and required according to the Financial Supervision Act (Wft).

Comply with the Financial Supervision Act (Wft) with employment screening

The Financial Supervision Act (Wft) applies to almost the entire financial sector in the Netherlands. The financial markets are constantly changing and this supervision protects consumers and companies. For example, the duty of care, the certificate of conduct (VOG) and the Wft diploma: you must be able to guarantee the quality and integrity of (potential) employees. Validata is here to help you with this.
