BlackBerry Limited and VoxSmart, leading mobile surveillance and compliance firm, are announcing today the companies have partnered to help financial services firms comply on time with the European Union\u2019s Markets in Financial Instruments Directive (\u201cMiFID II\u201d).

MiFID II, which comes into effect on January 3, 2018, demands that all financial services firms in Europe keep records of all services, activities, and transactions for at least five years. Records include all electronic and instant messaging communications, telephone conversations, and text messages related to or intended to conclude a transaction, even if one does not occur. The directive seeks to make financial markets in Europe more resilient, transparent, and investor-friendly.<\/p>\n\n\n\n
