Regtech for Business Growth: How Financial Services Firms Can Profit from Regulatory Compliance

Since the 2008 financial crisis the international finance industry has seen a wealth of new regulations intended to bring stability back to the sector and protect against future crises. Firms have spent millions implementing new systems and tools to meet these obligations, which led to the emergence of the RegTech industry to drive the use of technology in regulatory compliance. RegTech for Business Growth argues that RegTech is the key to seeing compliance not as a costly burden but as an opportunity for business growth with the potential to reduce costs, increase efficiency, drive profitability and even open new revenue channels.

RegTech for Business Growth provides strategic guidance on how financial services firms can leverage new business opportunities arising from regulatory change in areas such as investment advice, insurance products, consumer credit and lending. Using real-life case studies from firms around the world, this book explores how the RegTech industry has evolved to allow organizations to take a completely holistic approach which covers multiple regulations across multiple jurisdictions with one solution. The book also covers the potential of SupTech (supervisory technology) for regulators and how RegTech will enable the regulation of new business models such as cryptocurrencies and robo-advice in the future. Going beyond the theory, RegTech for Business Growth is the essential guide to integrating RegTech into core business processes and unlocking new opportunities.
