Vizor Selected by the Securities Commission of The Bahamas

Today, Vizor Ltd. announced its regulatory reporting solution has been implemented at the Securities Commission of The Bahamas (SCB) where it will be used to capture information of all regulated persons, create high priority reports, and consolidate all data from multiple databases into one.

Over fourteen hundred Licensees and Registrants report to the SCB. With the implementation of the Vizor Software reporting solution, all Licensees and Registrants will now do so through one system resulting in significant improvements to the quality, consistency, reliability, and integrity of information submitted to and subsequently published by the SCB. The implementation furthers the SCB’s mission to effectively oversee and regulate the activities of the investment funds, securities and capital markets, and to protect investors while strengthening public and institutional confidence in the integrity of those markets.

“This is our third project with The Bahamas,” remarked Conor Crowley, CEO of Vizor Software. “The Central Bank of the Bahamas has launched an Online Reporting and Management System with Vizor Software, as has the Insurance Commission of The Bahamas (ICB).“
