About the Event

The Rise of RegTech

A surge in regulatory requirements across Asia-Pacific in recent years has brought with it an explosion in the use of technology – specifically, RegTech – by financial services firms to maintain compliance.


Meanwhile, to keep up with the ever-changing demands of customers and the threat of BigTech and FinTech firms entering the sector, incumbent firms have looked to technology to ensure they are able to keep pace. But, with the dramatic shifts in the financial services landscape come the need to ensure that technology is both well understood, resilient and compliant with regulatory standards.


RegTech Asia 2020 brings together industry experts in an online forum to provide a comprehensive overview of the key regulatory issues impacting Asia-Pacific and the technology solutions that offer support.


Hosted by Regulation Asia alongside leading market participants.
