Third-party service relationship
Risk management - supply chain.
A formal arrangement for the provision of one or more services to a financial institution by a service provider.
"Third-party service relationships include arrangements for the provision of services to a financial institution by an intra-group service provider; and
Third-party service relationships exclude financial services transactions between financial institutions and their employees, customers or counterparties (e.g. taking deposits from or lending to consumers; providing insurance to policyholders; or providing/receiving financial market infrastructure (FMI) services, such as clearing or settlement, to other financial institutions), but include services supporting these functions (e.g. compliance or back-office activities relating to these transactions)."
