1) Are analysts working in the US, but for foreign banks required to get certified?
2) Also, are analysts working abroad, but for domestic banks required to get certified?
3) Finally, are analysts abroad, working for foreign banks required to get any American certification?
Thanks

Thanks for the quick response.
One more question:
With these certifications, analysts are required to go through background checks with the FBI - at least, for FINRA registered institutions. Do banks in all three of those situations have access to the American government's fingerprint data base?
In other words what is the extent to which foreign banks (domestically located, and abroad) perform background checks on prospective analysts.
If you work in London, it may be different.
Can you clarify? Do you mean everyone performs American bg checks on Americans working abroad, as well?
I would just like to know how foreign banks located abroad go about performing extensive bg checks on Americans, without the necessary access to FBI criminal records.
If they have a US presence they will likely run a similar background check to what an American getting hired in NYC would undergo.
