FinVermV: what 34f intermediaries need to know.
In August 2020 the amendments to the German Finanzanlagenvermittlungsverordnung (FinVermV) came into force. Since then, 34f intermediaries have been required to record investment advisory conversations and archive those recordings in an audit-proof manner.
Until now this often meant making a separate telephone call alongside the online consultation. With bridge's MiFID Recorder, this media break is eliminated entirely — the recording takes place directly within the advisory software and is transmitted to your mifid-recorder.com account.
- Recording obligation
All investment consultations with 34f intermediaries must be documented.
- 5-year retention
Recordings must be archived for at least 5 years.
- Tamper protection
Recordings must be stored in a tamper-proof and audit-proof manner.
- Right of access
Clients and supervisory authorities have a right of access to recordings on request.
Up and running in a few steps.
Check prerequisites
The audio recording function must be activated in your personal settings, and you need an active account at mifid-recorder.com linked to your bridge credentials.
Start recording
Directly inside the bridge video consultation you start recording with a single click. Your client is informed and confirms. The recording is transmitted to your mifid-recorder.com account — no separate phone call required.
Transmitted & archived automatically
After the session the recording is transmitted to your mifid-recorder.com account and archived there. Business customers can alternatively connect other archiving solutions.
