Financial Regulation of Fintech
Year: 2015
Type: article
Abstract: Effective financial regulation is clearly crucial to innovation and the future success of the financial services industry and, in specific, FinTech. 1 There are also unprecedented opportunities for reforming regulation and also creating new businesses in the process. Examples include: using “big data” regulatory online reporting and analytics to streamline reporting; and stimulating a new generation of “RegTech” companies to provide the regulatory/compliance software. This paper reviews the current regulatory pressures faced by the financial services industry, and discusses new “big data” approaches to regulating financial companies. Three actions are highlighted: a) an open-source platform for FinTech regulation, b) a regulatory XML to help standardize reporting and c) an overarching international standards body. Lastly, we examine responses by the U.K. Financial Conduct Authority (FCA), such as Project Innovate.
