Our chief objective is to promote safe, sound, and efficient wholesale financial markets. We accomplish this through our members, which include pan-EU and global banks as well as key regional banks, brokers, law firms, investors, and other participants in the European financial markets. AFME provides our members the opportunity to engage directly with policymakers toward ensuring open European and global markets that benefit from well-crafted, globally consistent regulations; to participate in the formulation of market-led solutions, standards and practices; to communicate authoritative industry expertise and views to public officials, private individuals, and the media; and to participate in networking and educational events, such as conferences, seminars, and workshops. Members also benefit from our global coordination with SIFMA (in the US) and with the Asian Securities Industry and Financial Markets Association, through the GFMA (Global Financial Markets Association).
Full members of the Association are financial institutions such as banks, corporate finance advisors, or brokers. Associate membership is open to other participants in the wholesale financial markets, including service providers and professional advisors such as law firms. Applications are reviewed for eligibility and approved by our board.
