As we reflect on 2023, three key RegTech trends stood out to us — each shaping how regulated institutions approach compliance in 2024 and beyond.
1. AI integration in regulatory compliance
The integration of AI, including Gen AI, in regulatory compliance signalled a significant — albeit cautious — shift among regulated institutions. Firms are exploring how AI can speed up document review, transaction monitoring, and risk scoring, but proceeding carefully given regulator expectations around explainability and human oversight.
2. Financial crime prevention takes centre stage
The global political climate highlighted the urgent need to bolster efforts in preventing financial crimes, spurring advanced RegTech solutions. Sanctions screening, AML monitoring, and beneficial ownership tracing all saw substantial investment as institutions adapted to a more volatile geopolitical landscape.
3. The rise of plug-and-play RegTech
Financial institutions increasingly favoured cost-effective, sophisticated 'plug and play' RegTech solutions in response to escalating cost pressure. Rather than building from scratch or wrangling sprawling enterprise platforms, firms are now selecting focused tools that solve a specific compliance need and integrate cleanly.
These three trends marked the evolving landscape of RegTech in addressing contemporary challenges — and they're only accelerating in 2024.
