EU: A FINancial Supervision and TECHnology Compliance Training Programme (FIN-TECH)

Financial technology (FinTech) solutions that employ Big Data analytics, artificial intelligence and blockchain technologies are being introduced into the financial industry at an extraordinary rate. While they provide FinTech companies with ample opportunities, they also invite many challenges, such as cyberattacks, contagion risks and compliance concerns, which are of key interest to regulators and supervisory bodies. The EU-funded FIN-TECH project aims to create a European training programme that offers shared risk management use cases that can be proposed to automatise compliance of FinTech companies, and to increase the efficiency of supervisory activities. In a nutshell, the project aims at boosting the European FinTech ecosystem by delivering standardised procedures for FinTech risk management.
