The South Florida Compliance Association (SFCA) was organized in May 1982 in response to the need expressed by banks in the region for a local forum to exchange compliance information.

Education of our membership is the Association’s primary goal, and a wide variety of consumer protection, civil rights and other banking regulations are covered at each bi-monthly meeting. Meetings vary from half-day to all-day conferences that are held at a Miami-Dade location central to memberships. Speakers are recognized as local, regional and national authorities.

Other SFCA membership benefits include our Directory of local compliance officers and regulatory references, networking opportunities, and a unique scholarship competition to nationally-recognized compliance educational schools/conferences.

Membership is open to commercial banks, bank holding companies, savings banks, saving and loan associations, credit unions, law firms, compliance consulting/audit firms and related affiliates and subsidiaries having home or branch offices in Miami- Dade, Broward, Monroe, Palm Beach or Collier counties. Membership by eligible institutions located elsewhere requires specific Board approval. The majority of the members of the Board of Directors of the SFCA shall consist of financial institutions.

The need for compliance standards and recognition of the compliance function has been identified by two national organizations which have developed a certification program to acknowledge the compliance professional. The Bank Administration Institute (BAI) has offered the Certified Risk Professional (CRP) and the American Bankers Association (ABA) sponsors the Certified Regulatory Compliance Manager (CRCM). The SFCA meetings qualify for credits towards the Continuing Education credit status.South Florida Banking Institute
