SAN DIEGO, CA, August 1, 2006 —The National Ethics Bureau has been named a Member Vendor of the Society of Financial Service Professionals (FSP), a financial services trade association based in Newtown Square, Pennsylvania. This means FSP’s nearly 19,000 members in 190 local chapters can apply for admission to the National Ethics Bureau at a substantial discount.
“FSP’s core values of ethics, education, and relationships are consistent with NEB’s mission of promoting professional ethics and consumer protection in financial services,” says NEB Chairman and Co-Founder Steven R. McCarty. “We are delighted to be selected to support FSP’s multidisciplinary network of credentialed financial services professionals.”
Under the agreement, FSP members can elect to have NEB review their professional backgrounds using its Ethics Check System™, a comprehensive seven-year background check designed especially for financial service professionals.
- Once approved, FSP members may display the NEB logo in their marketing materials and on their web sites. This helps them build trusting relationships with clients and prospects. Approved NEB advisors also have discounted access to a variety of practice expansion tools and to educational content that helps consumers avoid insurance and investment fraud.
