Cross-sector Reference Checking Arrangement Between the Banking and Insurance Sectors

The Hong Kong Monetary Authority issued this circular to establish a cross-sector reference checking arrangement between the banking and insurance sectors. This initiative mandates Authorized Institutions to implement standardized procedures for verifying the employment history and conduct of individuals moving between these regulated industries. The measure aims to enhance integrity and accountability within the financial sector by preventing the hiring of individuals with a history of misconduct.
