Fintech Regulation and Policy

ΠΕΡΙΓΡΑΦΗ

Financial Technology (in short FinTech) is part of our everyday life both for our professional/business and personal affairs.  Fintech is disrupting and challenging the financial sector. New, emerging, and cutting-edge technologies such as blockchain, artificial intelligence (AI), machine learning (ML), big data and analytics are used in financial services to develop solutions that assist investors, consumers, and financial institutions.  Today, fintech applications have gone mainstream, bringing innovation to traditional financial services, enabling financial institutions to deliver financial services, consumers to consume financial services and investors to invest in a faster, cheaper, more innovative, efficient, and human-centred way than ever before. 

FinTech is here to stay.  The growing interest in FinTech manifests at all levels and players within the financial and professional services industry. Both large and small companies, incumbents and technology-reliant start-ups leverage different technologies to provide enhanced and innovative financial services and products.  With the increasing and unprecedented impact of digitalization, innovation and technology development on financial services, the relevant regulatory framework changes and adapts to accommodate the new state of affairs. This results in large and complex legal and regulatory frameworks.  Thus, this developing financial services landscape and these new, technology-based business models require constant and strong legal and technical knowledge. 

This training course aims to provide a basic theoretical and practical knowledge of financial technology to facilitate the understanding of fintech impact on financial services and the relevant laws and regulations. The course is designed by and utilizes the international practical experience of an acclaimed industry expert. 

Participants will explore the ever-changing landscape of the FinTech industry while examining the most important developments in the legal and regulatory regimes concerning Fintech and the way FinTech is using different technologies to transform financial services.  The discussion will also focus on various types and business models of FinTech as well as its market players and the role of regulators. Furthermore, various types of fintech start-ups and innovative fund-raising methods will be explored.  Moreover, participants will discuss the role of regulation and regulators in FinTech.
