RegTech Analyst has unveiled the latest edition of its RegTech100 ranking, underlining some of the top RegTechs you need to keep an eye on in the RegTech industry.
The 2025 RegTech100 list shines a light on a plethora of the biggest disruptors and market leaders in regulatory technology that are supporting financial institutions with managing the countless challenges caused by technological innovation and regulatory change.
The financial industry this year has witnessed a considerably large jump in regulatory fines, detailing some of the vital challenges that businesses face in staying compliant amid growing regulatory scrutiny. In just the first half of 2024, global financial regulators implemented 80 fines totalling $263.2m for non-compliance with AML regulations, including KYC sanctions, SARs and transaction monitoring violations.
This dynamic and evolving regulatory environment is transforming the growth prospects of the RegTech industry as it grew from $12.8bn in 2023 to $15.8bn in 2024. The sector is expected to reach an eye-watering overall value of $85.92bn by 2032, at a CAGR of 23.6% over the period.
As the sector continues to go from strength to strength, this led to the selection process for this year’s RegTech100 to be one of the most intense and sought after to date.

“This year’s RegTech100 list highlights the leading movers-and-shakers in areas such as communications surveillance, onboarding, risk management and financial crime prevention that are working at the frontline of innovation, seeking to integrate latest AI technologies into their offerings to help financial institutions stay ahead of regulatory updates, improve customer experience and bring operational efficiencies.”
