Choosing someone to help you manage your money is a big decision. Whether you’re investing, buying insurance, getting a mortgage, or working with a financial planner, it’s important to know who you’re dealing with—and whether they’re qualified to help.
In New Brunswick, many professionals must be licensed or registered with the Financial and Consumer Services Commission. This includes people and businesses in sectors like:
Investing
Insurance
Mortgages
Real estate
Door-to-door sales
Debt collection
Payday lending
Licensing and registration helps protect you. It ensures that professionals meet minimum standards and follow rules designed to keep consumers safe. But not all professionals are the same. It’s up to you to ask questions, understand what services they offer, and check their credentials.
