ORX is the largest operational and non-financial risk association for financial services firms in the world, currently employing circa 70 dedicated professionals and growing. We work closely with over 140 organisations and thousands of risk professionals globally to advance and champion the discipline.

Since then, we’ve grown and expanded to offer more services to our members, subscribers and the wider financial services sector. Alongside loss data sharing, we now carry out research on key topics, provide a range of collaboration opportunities and develop standards and references to drive innovation and support our community in an increasingly digitalised financial services environment. Our activities span the banking, insurance and asset management sectors.
