FINMA + MAS + SFC Combined Financial Regulator Enforcement Tracker

The wealth-management compliance trifecta in one normalized feed.

Unified enforcement-action surveillance across Switzerland (FINMA), Singapore (MAS), and Hong Kong (SFC) — three of the world's most consequential financial regulators for cross-border private banking, asset management, and APAC capital markets. One actor, one schema, three jurisdictions, local-currency + USD-normalized amounts, stable source URLs.

What you get

• FINMA (Switzerland) — press releases, financial-sanction notices, international-sanction implementations, license withdrawals
• MAS (Singapore) — enforcement actions, composition penalties under PS Act / SFA / FAA, prohibition orders, investor alert list updates
• SFC (Hong Kong) — enforcement news (newsType=EF), bans, disqualifications, criminal prosecutions, shareholder compensation
• Normalized schema — every record carries regulator, action_id, target_entity, target_type (firm/individual), action_type (fine/ban/warning/license_revocation/prosecution), date (ISO), fine_amount_local, fine_currency (CHF/SGD/HKD), fine_amount_usd (FX-converted), jurisdiction, summary, source_url, data_source (live/curated)
• Resilient dual-path — when live scrapers return zero rows for the requested window (common for FINMA's caching API and MAS Akamai-fronted endpoints), a curated layer of real recent enforcement actions backfills the gap. You never get empty.

Use cases

• Multinational private-bank compliance officer — single feed for cross-border client risk reviews; trigger alerts when a key client jurisdiction lands a new prohibition order
• APAC fintech compliance / MLRO — Singapore and Hong Kong actions in one place with target_type distinction at firm vs individual
• Private-bank AML team — pull all FINMA + MAS composition penalties and compare against client base for adverse-media checks
• M&A diligence — screen target firms across three regulator enforcement registers in one query
• Regulatory benchmarking — institutional comparison of fine sizes across CHF/SGD/HKD jurisdictions, USD-normalized for board reporting

How the live scrape works

Regulator	Endpoint	Notes
FINMA (CH)	POST https://www.finma.ch/en/api/search/getresult	Browser-style UA required; HEAD 400 but POST 200; client-side enforcement filter
MAS (SG)	GET https://www.mas.gov.sg/news/enforcement-actions (+ media-releases fallback)	Clean browser headers — polite-bot From/X-Bot-Identity headers cause Akamai 404
SFC (HK)	POST https://apps.sfc.hk/edistributionWeb/api/news/search?newsType=EF	Filtered to newsType=EF (enforcement); refNo → public detail URL

FX normalization uses tracked mid-market rates (CHF/USD 1.13, SGD/USD 0.74, HKD/USD 0.128 — refreshed 2026-05-30, manual refresh cycle).

Per-regulator fair-share

When regulator=all, slots are distributed evenly across the three regulators (per-regulator floor max_actions // 3), then any leftover capacity is filled by most-recent records across all three. This prevents SFC's dense newsstream from dominating the output.

Pricing

• Actor start: $0.005 per run
• Enforcement action: $0.20 per emitted record (primary event)

50 records per run = $10.005. Versus a Bloomberg compliance terminal seat at $24,000/year or Thomson Reuters World-Check at $5,000+/year, this is a fraction of the cost for the specific three-regulator coverage that matters for wealth-management compliance.
