Veritas awarded Hellios FSQS Qualification for the financial services sector

We are proud to announce that Veritas has successfully completed the rigorous Hellios FSQS certification process, a benchmark used by major UK banks and financial institutions when selecting suppliers.

As the environment in financial services becomes more complex, FSQS provides a mechanism for financial organisations to collect and manage supplier compliance assurance information.

FSQS is currently being used by 19 major Banks, Building Societies and Insurance companies: Lloyds Banking Group, Metro Bank, Santander, TSB, Shawbrook Bank, Aldermore Bank, Clydesdale Bank, LV=, Arbuthnot Latham, Nationwide Building Society, Weatherbys, The Bank of England, Bank of Ireland, Tokio Marine Kiln, Virgin Money, Royal Sun Alliance, Hinckley and Rugby Building Society, BNP Paribas and NFU Mutual.

Accreditation requires suppliers to be audited against FSQS requirements in the areas of: Business continuity, Financial, Insurance, Health & Safety, IT Security, Anti-Bribery, Recruitment, Operational Risks, Fraud, GDPR, Responsible Business Governance, Environmental and Sustainability.

Jenny Oldfield, CEO of Veritas Commercial Services, commented: “FSQS accreditation is an important milestone for Veritas, underpinning our commitment to compliance and responsible business practices, which are at the heart of our business. We are delighted that more organisations in the financial sector will now be able to access Veritas’ credit management and virtual credit control solutions, secure in the knowledge that they are working with a fully registered FSQS accredited business.”
