We work constructively with Government and all stakeholders, to offer solutions and ideas that support the UK’s growth agenda. We engage with policymakers, regulators and stakeholders across the UK; including HM Treasury, Home Office, BEIS, Bank of England/PRA and the FCA. The activities of our Policy and Regulatory Network for regulatory, government and external affairs professionals and unique CEO Programme ensures access for members at the highest levels of influence in the UK.

Practice and Expertise
AFB works with members and stakeholders to anticipate relevant industry trends and analyse and share technical and market data and intelligence. We work in partnership with key experts including some of the leading global law firms and consultants to deliver specialist knowledge and guidance at over 70 high value practice events every year. We offer accredited training, best practice seminars, peer to peer networking and operational support.
