Fitness and Probity
The Fitness and Probity Regime protects the public interest by requiring that individuals in key positions in Regulated Financial Service Providers, including certain Holding Companies, (“Regulated Firms”), are
- Competent and capable,
- Honest, ethical, and to act with integrity, and
- Financially sound.
The Fitness and Probity (“F&P”) Regime was established under the Central Bank Reform Act 2010 to protect users of financial services by regulating individuals in senior or customer facing roles in Regulated Firms. The Central Bank has issued a statutory code for individuals performing regulated roles:

The F&P Standards should be read in conjunction with the Guidance on the Fitness and Probity Standards.
The Guidance has been revised and updated following consultation. This new version consolidates all of our previous guidance and is applicable to all industry sectors.
