    FAP licences Classes of financial advice service

    The FMA specifies three licence classes for financial advice providers (FAP): Class 1, Class 2 and Class 3. See section 395(2) of the Financial Markets Conduct Act 2013 as amended by the Financial Services legislation Amendment Act 2019 (FMC Act).
    Licence classes apply to the manner in which regulated financial advice may be provided but do not limit the types of financial advice that may be provided under the licence, as the latter is addressed by the competency requirements in the Code of Professional Conduct for Financial Advice Services.
