Regulatory technology, popularly known as RegTech, is currently a buzzword in the global financial and compliance community. RegTech uses many cutting-edge technologies such as artificial intelligence, big data, cloud computing, machine learning, to name a few, which ensure companies are more effective in reaching regulatory compliance. RegTech has helped to minimize the risk of human error by automating the processes.
Regtech is a community of tech companies that solve challenges arising from a technology-driven economy through automation.
RegTech is believed to be exclusively the consequence of the financial crisis of 2008 and the regulatory tsunami it caused. In another version, RegTech is only an add-on to FinTech and the associated demand for the digital processing of regulations. As Forbes writes in an article, the FinTech revolution has produced numerous innovations that have led to strong demand for RegTech solutions. Many FinTech innovations require the enhanced personalization in payment integration of digital regulations into their solutions to enable them to work efficiently.
