Background on George Jing – Rockville, MD
Table of Contents
George Jing brought nearly three decades of experience as a financial professional, holding key registrations with Well-known firms in the financial services sector, most recently TransAmerica Financial Advisors from 2012 until his termination in 2025. His past registrations include:
- TransAmerica Financial Advisors (Rockville, MD): 2012–2025
- World Group Securities (Largo, MD): 2002–2012
- WMA Securities (Duluth, GA): 1997–2002
Jing passed several securities qualification exams, including the SIE, Series 65, Series 63, Series 26, and Series 6. These exam credentials enabled him to engage in a wide range of securities-related services, focusing particularly on investment company products and variable contracts.
What Led to the Recent Ban?
On October 2025, the Financial Industry Regulatory Authority (FINRA) barred George Jing from associating with any FINRA member firm in any capacity. This significant disciplinary action stemmed from Jing’s alleged refusal to cooperate with a regulatory investigation into “undisclosed outside business activity or private securities transactions.”
Key timeline details include:
- August 25, 2025: FINRA requested information/documents from George Jing.
- October 16, 2025: Jing, through his attorney, indicated he would not comply with the request.
- The result: Violation of FINRA Rules 8210 and 2010, leading to a permanent bar.
Termination and Disclosures
Jing’s departure from TransAmerica Financial Advisors was reported to FINRA in August 2025. The firm indicated his termination was connected to “allegations of participation in an undisclosed outside business activity and/or an undisclosed private securities transaction.” Such disclosures are taken seriously—these activities are required to be reported to the firm and regulators for client protection and compliance with industry standards.

Review of Public Complaints & Litigation History
As of May 2024, George Jing had no publicly reported customer complaints, arbitration awards, or civil/criminal litigation filings. Comprehensive searches across FINRA BrokerCheck, the SEC’s databases, federal and state court dockets, and public news/media sources revealed:
- No customer complaints or client-initiated arbitration claims.
- No SEC enforcement actions or administrative orders.
- No federal or state lawsuits or regulatory disciplinary reports.
- No known civil or criminal court actions or unresolved media complaints.
It is important to recognize that the lack of historical complaints does not guarantee future performance or risk immunity, especially given the nature of the allegations leading to the recent FINRA bar.
Red Flags & What Investors Should Watch For
| Red Flag | Potential Risk |
|---|---|
| Undisclosed Outside Business Activities | May signal conflicts of interest or activities not overseen by the broker’s firm or regulators. |
| Private Securities Transactions | May involve unregistered securities or “off-the-books” investments with inadequate supervision. |
| Refusal to Cooperate with Regulators | Violates critical industry rules and may indicate concern over compliance or transparency. |
| Regulatory Bar | Permanent loss of authority to associate with broker-dealers or investment advisers. Often a last-resort enforcement action. |
These patterns are important for investors to understand. **Even the appearance of unreported business or private deals** can point to improper conduct not detected or reported by the firm at the time of investor loss or risk exposure.
