The RegTech industry has always received huge investments, making room for technological advancements that allow RegTech, compliance and risk teams to address and mitigate persisting challenges. With eight months into the new decade, many trends have burgeoned into space and made a significant difference in the way the industry works. Today, we find ourselves encircled by a surfeit of RegTech service providers stepping forward to assist the organizations with their regulatory and compliance needs and better concentrate on the core business operations. But it is equally essential to be aware of the trends that the new decade unfolds gradually. Moving away from the innovation phase, the RegTech industry's key focus has shifted to operationalizing and scaling so that financial institutions can see innovations working out for them, in reality. Funding for the industry is expected to have a steep rise, allowing organizations to bring innovative ideas to the table. Each investor will be keen on looking for companies that are demonstrating product fit by acquiring more customers. This would work out as a tell-tale sign for financial institutions, too, as they evaluate potential solutions. Increasing cost pressures on both the buy and sell-side will reflect on the rise of formidable FinTech and banks, who would realize soon that technology offers the only viable advanced route. Since regulators are going to pay attention to privacy, cybersecurity, and cryptocurrency increasingly, more activities will be directed that way. Some of the significant innovations that shape the expansion of financial institutions and their work would include analytics, big data, which would help produce actionable results far more quickly. Robotic process automation and natural language processing will also make headway in the industry. These can be used in know-your-customer routines, particularly in facial recognition technologies and biometrics, that better establish customer identity. As the RegTech's metamorphosis continues, we present the 10 RegTech solution providers & consulting/services companies that can escalate your chances of success. This edition features insightful articles that emphasize on the manifold benefits of using the latest technologies for better outcomes. Let us know your thoughts!Keeping up with the Wave of Change
