Agile regulation technology (RegTech) solutions are in high demand in the global financial services industry. Financial service organizations are embracing RegTech solutions for enhanced efficiency, proactive compliance, real-time risk monitoring and improved governance.
Collaboration with RegTech solution providers will be key for financial service organizations to gain a better return on investment, mitigate implementation and complex IT infrastructure barriers, and enable quicker conversion to dynamically evolving regulatory changes.
The RegTech solutions market is expected to reach $6.45 billion by 2020, growing at a compound annual growth rate (CAGR) of 76.1 percent by 2020, according to the latest market study by Frost & Sullivan.
"A rising demand for easy-to-use, regulatory-compliant solutions for anti-money laundering (AML) and know-your-customer (KYC) requirements are steering RegTech start-ups to enter these segments and -- with the help of cloud computing, big data analytics and machine learning technologies -- provide innovative, affordable and effective solutions," said Dhanvin Sudarsan, research analyst at Frost & Sullivan.
Venture capital firms are actively investing in innovative RegTech companies that provide cutting-edge solutions. Regtech companies active in the financial service sector include:
"While technology adoption and regulatory compliance are clearly the way forward for financial service organizations, complex data verification, costly legacy systems, uncertainty in upcoming regulatory reporting, and conflicting data sets are factors hindering RegTech market growth," concluded Dhanvin.
Collaborative strategies will empower new digital growth opportunities and swift adaption to a dynamically evolving ecosystem, said the Frost & Sullivan Digital Transformation team. There's a significant upside for the adoption of emerging applications for cognitive systems and blockchain technologies within this sector.
