The Finnish Financial Supervisory Authority (FIN-FSA; Finnish: Finanssivalvonta or Fiva; Swedish: Finansinspektionen or FI) is the Financial regulatory authority responsible for the regulation of financial services in Finland. Since 2014, it has also been Finland's national competent authority within European Banking Supervision.[1]

History

The Financial Supervisory Authority (FIN-FSA) was established on 1 January 2009, following a merger of the former Financial Supervision Authority and the Insurance Supervisory Authority. FIN-FSA operates in connection with the Bank of Finland. The predecessor of the Financial Supervision Authority was the Banking Supervision Office (in Finnish: Rahoitustarkastuslaitos [Rata]; also then in Swedish: Finansinspektionen [FI]).[2]
