Taking guidance from its existing Dispute Resolution Committee, the ICC panel consists of fintech experts from various sectors.
The Financial Commission also announced last year that it would begin accepting the Cryptocurrencies Bitcoin and Ethereum as payment for its regulatory services.
Troshina joins the Financial Commission during a time of expansion for the self-regulatory association. The commission recently added several new members to its existing roster.
FinaCom is an independent international service that guarantees honest and timely resolution of disputes with the aim of resolving trader-broker conflicts. All clients of the Financial Commission’s members are protected by the Compensation Fund which acts as an insurance policy.
