NEW! Compliance FAQ's for Financial Services Companies

 

Welcome to the NEB Website.

The mission of the National Ethics Bureau is to promote ethics in the financial services industry.   We do this in three ways:

1. By providing comprehensive background checks on financial professionals.

Advisors who pass the Ethics Check System™, a rigorous eight-point background check for criminal, civil, and business violations, qualify for NEB membership. Before doing business with an NEB member, consumers can contact NEB to verify the person’s background.  Or if they are considering working with a non-member advisor, they can order a background check from NEB.


2. By providing ethics and compliance education and motivation for industry professionals.

We make the case for ethics in a wide range of industry and company publications.  We also distribute ethics and compliance continuing education for licensed insurance agents and for those holding the Certified Financial Planner (CFP), Chartered Life Underwriter (CLU), and Chartered Financial Consultant (ChFC) designations.


3. By helping consumers make safe and informed financial decisions

We provide consumer protection resources, regulatory contacts, and other services that help consumers select a financial professional and purchase products and services with confidence. 

 

To learn more about our membership, sponsorship, or consumer services, e-mail us or call (800) 282-1831.
