National Ethics Bureau to Offer Ethics-Driven Marketing Services to Insurance and Financial Advisors as an Approved Vendor of the Society of Financial Service Professionals (FSP).

SAN DIEGO -- The National Ethics Bureau has been named a Member Vendor of the Society of Financial Service Professionals (FSP), a financial services trade association based in Newtown Square, Pennsylvania. This means FSP's nearly 19,000 members in 190 local chapters can apply for admission to the National Ethics Bureau at a substantial discount.

"FSP's core values of ethics, education, and relationships are consistent with NEB's mission of promoting professional ethics and consumer protection in financial services," says NEB Chairman and Co-Founder Steven R. McCarty. "We are delighted to be selected to support FSP's multidisciplinary network of credentialed financial services professionals."

Under the agreement, FSP members can elect to have NEB review their professional backgrounds using its Ethics Check System(TM), a comprehensive seven-year background check designed especially for financial services professionals.

Once approved, FSP members may display the NEB Seal of Trust(TM) logo in their marketing materials and on their web sites. This helps them build trusting relationships with clients and prospects. Approved NEB advisors also have discounted access to a variety of practice expansion tools and to educational content that helps consumers avoid insurance and investment fraud.

About National Ethics Bureau:

The National Ethics Bureau is an independent membership organization of insurance and financial advisors. All members have passed the NEB Ethics Check System(TM), a comprehensive seven-year background check, and have earned its "Seal of Trust." This means member advisors hold all required professional licenses and have no violations against public interest.

NEB's services help consumers choose an advisor with confidence. On NEB's web site (www.ethicscheck.com), consumers can either search for an approved local member or order a background check on a non-member.
