OFTA is the representative body for financial brokers who provide their clients with investment products and services offered by the major investment institutions from the world’s main Overseas financial centres.
Our members around the world are usually based in the same countries as the local, expatriate international communities they serve.
To become a member of OFTA financial brokers are rigorously assessed using financial services best practice systems to UK standards and must satisfy the highest professional standards in the conduct of their business.
Each member carries a photo ID card to show to clients. You may check with OFTA for an independent reference.
Members carry leaflets about OFTA which explains members' obligations to clients, the disputes resolution service, and gives contact details for OFTA and the Ombudsman.
“I can certainly see the advantages of having an appropriate trade association and the appointment of an effective ombudsman can only reinforce the credibility of the profession.”
The Rt. Hon, Christopher Patten European Commissioner (former Governor of Hong Kong)
