Why we need RegTech in 2023

The RegTech space has been one we’ve been watching for a while now, but why is it so crucial in 2023? In 2022, the FinTech world saw major changes that have altered the industry landscape forever.

Regulatory Technology has grown as FinTech advances, and more services are being exposed to risk. Unregulated digital financial landscape is a breeding ground for fraud, hacks, data breaches, and other security hazards.

This has directly correlated with the RegTech industry heating up. The Global RegTech Market size is expected to reach $22.3 billion by 2027. The sector is rising at a market growth of 19.8% compound annual growth rate during the forecast period.

Although not a new concept, RegTech, or Regulatory Technology, is changing the game. It’s disrupting the regulatory landscape through technologically advanced solutions to the increasing demands of compliance within the financial industry.

RegTech Trends

The growing interest in more RegTech solutions has become an expanding demand for digital financial services as they see an increase of criminal activity. In 2023 we’re expecting to see an uptick in big data, cloud computing, and machine learning algorithms. These will be used to regulate businesses through computerized risk management procedures.

Some trends we’re watching this year…

  • ESG rising in FinTech

One of the biggest trends we followed in 2022 was environmental FinTech companies, and we’re seeing even more of this in 2023! As more governments are taking action to shift financial flows to more sustainable economic activities, RegTech will play a crucial role in supporting the transition.

  • Crypto communications

There has been an increased focus on cryptocurrency regulation as there have been threats from tokens with unregistered securities, leaving prices of crypto open to manipulation.

  • Investment regulations

Regulators are now looking to technology to revolutionize their approaches in banking and investment. Increased regulation will naturally slow down systems and processes in the short term, particularly as RegTech professionals adapt to the changes, but long term we are likely to see more efficiencies and cost savings.
