Firewall
(redirected from firewalling)

    Also found in: Dictionary/thesaurus, Encyclopedia, Hutchinson 0.07 sec.
Firewall
Legal barriers that prevent both the transference of inside information and the performance of financial transactions between commercial and investment banks.

Notes:
Restrictions placed on collaborations between banks and brokerage firms under the Glass-Steagall Act of 1933, acted as a form of firewall.

This works similarly to fire wall software and hardware used in preventing or limiting outside access to a company's internal servers and networks.

Firewall
The legal barrier between banking and broker/dealer operations within a financial institution created to prevent the exchange of inside information.
