JFSC Q2 2026 Highlights Its Strongest Performance Yet For Registry And Regulatory Services

17/07/2026

The Jersey Financial Services Commission has published its Q2 2026 service report, showing

  • Clear and sustained improvement across both regulatory and registry services compared with the same period last year.
  • Several services recorded their highest performance to date.

The JFSC suggests

  • The results reflect ongoing process improvements and
  • A continued focus on service excellence.

Regulatory services performance

Personal questionnaires (existing licensed entities) processed within 30 working days            

  • 289 applications – 79% within SLA 
  • 201 applications – 95% within SLA

Jersey private funds applications processed within 24 hours      

  • 31 applications – 71% within SLA    
  • 22 applications – 95% within SLA

Anti-money laundering service provider online forms processed within 5 working days            

  • 186 applications – 89% within SLA 
  • 87 applications – 97% within SLA

Following the strong results on personal questionnaires, the JFSC

  • Has reduced the service standard from 30 working days to 20 working days.
  • Reporting against the new 20-day standard will begin from Q3 2026.

Registry services – incorporations

Company incorporations and registrations improved markedly:

  • Q2 2025: 708 submissions – 59% within SLA
  • Q2 2026: 731 submissions – 90% within SLA (highest quarterly performance recorded)

Detailed breakdown (Q2 2025 → Q2 2026):

  • Priority – 2 hours: 44% → 79%
  • Priority – 1 day: 53% → 91%
  • Standard – 2 days: 61% → 97%
  • Standard – 3 days: 81% → 100% (first time achieved)
  • Standard – 5 days: 79% → 95%

Four of the five incorporation service levels exceeded 90% in the quarter.

Other registry metrics

  • New business names registered within 2 working days: 96% → 98%, despite a 19% rise in volumes.
  • Post-incorporation submissions processed within 2 working days: – Q2 2025: 2,778 submissions – 77% within SLA – Q2 2026: 2,453 submissions – 94% within SLA (+21 percentage points year-on-year)

Examinations process update

  • The JFSC has moved examination document exchange onto the myJFSC platform.
  • Firms can now view uploaded documents and receive examiner questions/requests directly through the portal rather than by email.
  • The change is intended to improve visibility, reduce administrative effort and strengthen security.
