• The International Association of Insurance Supervisors (IAIS) and the Group of International Insurance Centre Supervisors (GIICS)
• The Group of International Finance Centre Supervisors (GIFCS)
• The Organisation for Economic Co-operation and Development (OECD) - through the United Kingdom's membership.
• The Council of Europe’s Committee of Experts on the Evaluation of Anti-Money Laundering Measures and the Financing of Terrorism (MONEYVAL).

Through its membership of the Group of International Finance Centre Supervisors, it works with:

• The Basel Committee on Banking Supervision (BIS)
• The Financial Action Task Force (FATF) on money laundering

The Commission is committed to international regulatory co-operation and is a signatory to the IOSCO MMoU and the IAIS MMoU. It also has numerous bilateral regulatory co-operative agreements in place; and, through ESMA, has in place MoUs covering AIFMD with 27 members of the EEA.
