Mobile Call Recording: Are You Ready

As you know by now, the UK's Financial Services Authority (FSA) announced last Thursday its Policy Statement on the taping of mobile phones. Namely, the new rule mandates that firms must record and store all mobile phone conversations used for the receipt of client orders or the negotiation, agreement and arrangement of transactions across the regulated financial markets. Full compliance must be instituted by November 14th, 2011.

This new rule comes after a consultation period with a range of industry leaders, including NICE Systems. It removes the mobile exemption from the FSA's ‘taping rules,' which mandates the recording and archiving of all voice and electronic communications dealing with transactions in the financial services industry.

We can help you make the best decision for your firm
Compliance for your firm entails two options. Namely, you may decide to adopt a mobile recording solution or to prevent financial transactions from taking place on mobile phones. NICE Systems, the market leader in compliance recording solutions, has the domain expertise to assist you with this important decision, both from a policy and a technology perspective.

A potential benefit beyond compliance that could be realized by implementing a mobile recording solution is the ability to serve your client's needs regardless of financial representatives' whereabouts. Meeting your customer needs 24/7 could potentially increase the number of transactions your firm will be able to handle. On the other hand, you may be concerned with the potential costs of complying with this new regulation.
