The Financial Services Institute of Australasia (FINSIA) is a professional institute for practitioners in the financial industry in Australia and New Zealand.[1] FINSIA was formed in 2005 by the merger of the Australasian Institute of Banking and Finance (AIBF), founded 1886 and the Securities Institute of Australia (SIA), founded 1966.[2]

Chris Whitehead is the Institute's CEO.[1] FINSIA has about 8,000 members.[3]

In 2007 the institute sold its education business to Kaplan, Inc. then part of the Washington Post.[4]

The institute introduced the Financial Service Professional certificate in 2010.[5]
