Entering its seventh year, RegTech Analyst has unveiled its latest version of the RegTech100, offering a look at the key players making waves in the industry.
This year’s list highlights the most innovative and disruptive businesses in the regulatory technology space that are looking to help financial institutions manage the fast-paced changes brought on by ongoing regulatory updates and technological advances.
Despite high Inflation, private investment slowdown, and increasing levels of fines, the RegTech sector demonstrated powerful resilience and maintained its strong growth trajectory. In fact, Research by Fortune Business Insights found that the sector is anticipated to grow from $12.82bn in 2023 to $60.77bn by 2030, at a CAGR of 24.9% over the period.
With the market continuing to go from strength to strength, the selection process for this year’s RegTech100 was the most competitive yet, with a wide and diverse range of companies to choose from.
A panel of analysts and industry experts assessed a longlist of nearly 1,400 businesses, which was produced by RegTech Analyst. They sought to highlight the technological solutions every compliance, risk and innovation leader in financial services must know about in the year of 2024.
RegTech Analyst director of research Mariyan Dimitrov said, “With tougher economic climate and the continued rise of AI, financial institutions are re-examining the compliance software’s true cost, namely whether a given RegTech solution truly will free up compliance staff for higher-level tasks and whether the software can scale, adapt, and get implemented efficiently.
“This year’s RegTech100 list highlights the leading companies in areas such as information security, compliance, risk management and fraud prevention working on the forefront of innovation and new AI implementations who have demonstrated a strong track record delivering regulatory and operational improvements in financial services.”
A number of the companies featured in the new RegTech100 list have recently made the news.
