Corporate Membership

Why join us?

Scottish Investment Operations represents over 5,000 employees and their Member Firms across Financial Services in Scotland. Operations, as a sub-sector of that wide landscape, is a niche function with individual demands and challenges. We are a people-centric function and the engine of each institution. Our people control global cash and asset movements, settle financial trades, manage books and records, and apply first-line of defence controls, all within an environment of regulatory compliance. Our community is stronger when it comes together to solve common issues in an ever-changing world. We need our Talent to be diverse and our pipeline strong. We need to source the best-in-class operational practices and supporting technology to maintain efficiency and control. Most importantly of all, we need to ensure our people are trained, well-managed, motivated, and safe to give the best of themselves.

These are the ingredients of a strong, resilient, and competitive Operations sector in Scotland, equipped to flex with the growing demands of our clients, our regulators, our competitors, and our community.

Full membership of SIO entitles your firm to a seat on the Board. That gives you direct influence over the SIO agenda and access to all resources and events. As SIO is a member of Scottish Financial Enterprise, this will also provide access to their resources and events.

Associate Members still have access to all the same content and resources but do not have a seat on the Board.
