RegTech100

The world’s most innovative RegTech companies that every financial institution needs to know about in 2027

About the List

The RegTech100 is an annual list of 100 of the world’s most innovative RegTech companies. These are the companies every financial institution needs to know about as they consider and develop their mission critical compliance, risk and digital transformation strategies.

The previous RegTech100 lists received widespread attention. Companies that won places on them generated huge awareness among financial institutions. Many were approached directly by banks and other financial services organisations, while other got a more welcome reception from prospective clients and partners.

Following the success of the prior rankings, the selection process for the RegTech100 for 2027 is now open. The list will help senior management and compliance professionals evaluate which solutions have market potential and are most likely to succeed and have a lasting impact on the industry.
