Welcome to the NYPAY & PAYCLT Regulation in Fintech: How to Build Responsibly event! How should Fintechs view regulatory bodies within the United States? As outdated hurdles who’ll never understand the cool things you’re doing? As stodgy marketplace participants who should only get the minimum amount of information about your business? As hurdles so impossible to surmount that you’re better off ignoring? Correct answer: none of these!
In many ways, the US fintech regulatory framework has been slower to fully develop than many other jurisdictions around the world, allowing market participants a chance to experiment and demonstrate new innovations without regulatory mandates. However, slower regulatory development hasn’t meant looser standards in the long run, and building responsible regulatory partnerships is key. Through difficult topics like consumer data availability, national fintech charters, or debit interchange regulation, successfully navigating the regulatory landscape can be a challenging experience for fintechs, but adhering to the letter and spirit of the law is vital to establishing a viable business model.
Come join a panel of experts who’ve successfully partnered with regulators from a variety of banking as a service, open banking, and general financial institution roles to get a taste of how to responsibly build sustainable fintech businesses in today’s ever-evolving regulatory environment.
