Financial Services Volunteer Corps (FSVC) is a not-for-profit, private-public partnership whose mission is to help build sound banking and financial systems in transitioning and developing countries. The premise of FSVC’s work is that sound financial infrastructure, together with the rule of law, is necessary to mobilize domestic savings, attract foreign investment, deepen international trade linkages, and create conditions that promote lasting economic opportunity.
FSVC was founded at Presidential initiative in 1990 by the late Cyrus Vance, former U.S. Secretary of State, and John Whitehead, former U.S. Deputy Secretary of State and former Co-Chairman of Goldman Sachs. FSVC’s Board is currently chaired by Mr. Whitehead. Paul Volcker, former Chairman of the President’s Economic Recovery Advisory Board, is the Honorary Chairman of the Board. John Walker, Chairman of Richina LLC and a leading international lawyer, serves as the Vice Chairman of the Board. FSVC’s President and CEO is Andrew Spindler.
FSVC’s core work concentrates on developing central bank capabilities, strengthening commercial banking systems, and building capital markets. To achieve this mission, FSVC structures practical, results-oriented technical assistance missions staffed by financial sector practitioners who serve as unpaid volunteers. By recruiting currently employed professionals at the peak of their careers to serve as volunteers, FSVC is able to provide technical assistance that is objective, independent, and state-of-the-art. FSVC has field offices in Albania, Egypt, Jordan Lebanon, Tunisia, Kenya and Mozambique.
