Financial Centre Association of Vanuatu

The Vanuatu Financial Centre Association (FCA) is a not-for-profit industry body representing the sectors of banking, insurance, real estate, trusts, securities, investment, accounting, legal, corporate and business services, and general money services. It was established in 1972 to promote the financial industry and its participants and to represent and advocate on behalf of its members to law-makers, regulators and policy-makers, government and other stakeholders. The FCA seeks to have its members recognized in Vanuatu and internationally for their honesty, integrity and skills. In doing so, we seek to ensure the Vanuatu finance service providers are well run and attractive to domestic and international investors. The FCA works for the benefit of the broader community. Together, our members help maintain Vanuatu’s position as a leading Pacific island economy and global financial hub. FCA members provide employment to hundreds of Vanuatu citizens. The major banks, for example, are some of the largest employers in Vanuatu. But more importantly, the financial sector provides much needed services to a wide range of businesses across the nation. Investing with the help of qualified experts in financial, tax, or legal advice results in a safer and more successful investment environment. In turn, this leads to a higher probability of creating and retaining jobs in all types of industries. As the financial sector evolves, Vanuatu as a whole becomes a more sustainable, safer, and better place to live and do business.
