Globeia Zurich | FINRA-Compliant Fingerprinting
for Professionals

Working in Zurich does not put you outside the reach of US financial regulations. If your role connects you to US securities markets through a FINRA-registered broker-dealer, whether at a Swiss subsidiary of a US investment bank or an SEC-registered asset manager, you are generally required to provide fingerprints on FINRA-compliant fingerprint cards as part of your registration or onboarding process with a FINRA-member firm.

You likely need FINRA fingerprinting in Zurich if your role involves access to client funds or securities, trade processing systems, or financial records. This applies to registered representatives, senior positions, and supervisory roles, but can also extend to technology, administrative, and support staff at FINRA member firms.

Globeia provides certified mobile fingerprinting services across Zurich, coming directly to you so there is no need to arrange anything overseas. For banks and financial institutions recruiting large teams, we coordinate and complete bulk sessions entirely at your office.

Every session is handled by trained technicians, every card is quality-checked before it leaves our hands, and every submission is prepared to meet FINRA standards without delays or rework.

Read This Blog

Fingerprinting is a vital step for immigration, Criminal Record Check, licensing, employment, FBI background checks, RCMP criminal record checks and other official processes. However, even a seemingly “clean” fingerprint card can be rejected by authorities like the FBI or RCMP due to technical errors or form issues. Understanding common mistakes can save you time, money, and frustration.

Zurich, being a major European banking hub, is home to many of the world's largest US-regulated firms.

Globeia removes that friction entirely. Book your appointment & get printed, that's it! You receive professionally collected, FINRA-compliant fingerprint cards that are fully prepared and ready for you to submit directly to the firm.

Frequently Asked Questions

Please feel free to contact us for anything if you don't find answers to your questions.

If your employee is registering with FINRA, they're required to submit a set of fingerprints as part of the background check process. The fingerprints are required as part of FINRA’s registration and compliance process for associated individuals at FINRA-member firms.

Yes, absolutely. FINRA fingerprinting can be done outside the US, and Zurich is one of the cities where Globeia operates. We handle the fingerprinting process smoothly for you and hand over the cards to you for submission.

You book a session with us, we confirm your details and the correct card type, and then we come to your preferred location. We capture your fingerprints, review the cards for quality on the spot, and hand them back to you.

That's exactly what our corporate fingerprinting service is built for. Whether it's 10 people or 200, we coordinate the entire session at your Zurich office.

Rejection usually happens because the print quality was poor, like smudging, incomplete ridges, or ink issues. At Globeia, every card is reviewed before it leaves our hands. If something doesn't meet the standard, we redo it on the spot. The goal is always to get it right the first time. However, final acceptance is always determined by the receiving authority or reviewing agency.

We provide everything. You don't need to source cards, ink pads, or any materials. Just book your appointment and we handle the rest.

For an individual, the actual fingerprinting takes about 10-15 minutes. For corporate sessions, timing depends on the group size, but we plan and schedule in a way that keeps things moving efficiently.
