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 RegTech and digital transformation strategies.

The 2018 REGTECH100 list received worldwide attention. Companies that won places on the list generated huge awareness among financial institutions. Many were approached directly by banks and other major FIs, while other got a more welcome reception from prospective clients, which has led to new partnerships, new investments and increased sales.

The list has been updated for 2019 in the face of the new regulatory challenges financial institutions are facing. It will help senior management at compliance, technology and innovation divisions sort through all the suppliers and identify companies who are most likely to have a lasting impact on the industry.

A range of factors was considered by the Advisory Board and RegTech Analyst team to make the final selection including:

• Impact on the problem being solved;
• Growth, in terms of capital raised, revenue, customer traction;
• Innovation of technology solution offered;
• Potential cost savings, efficiency improvement, impact on the value chain and/or revenue enhancements generated for clients;
• How important is it for a financial institution to know about the company.

The top 100 companies are not ranked against each other. The objective is to make sure the most innovative RegTech companies get attention from the financial institutions that should be aware of them.
