An online search determines if a candidate has been banned and disqualified from working in Financial Services. In Australia, Financial Services candidates may be regulated by ASIC or APRA.
The database is checked online and a fee is charged per search (e.g. for an APRA AND ASIC search, there would be 2 charges).
For international candidates or individuals that have worked overseas in Financial Services, a search of the relevant country database will be conducted.
