RegTech and compliance management
Body
RegTech
is composed of the words “regulatory” and “technology”. It is a collective term for the application of modern technologies, to get the increasing regulation in the banking- and financial sector under control both from an IT and a legal standpoint.
Introduction
Attitude of the country towards RegTech-services
In general, the attitude towards RegTech is positive – see e.g. activities of the Association for Communication tools and IoT (
https://www.ctit.cz/en/fintech/regtech-2/
). Nonetheless, there obviously are also concerns about whether new innovative solutions will not have a negative impact on data protection, consumer protection etc.
Legal affairs
Obligations and requirements to provide RegTech-services
At the moment, RegTechs are not subject to specific “RegTech-dedicated” legislation. In some cases, since the RegTech products only support the provision of regulated services, they are even expressly excluded from the scope of the respective legislation (see e.g. ZPS, which excludes from its scope services/activities of technical service providers that support the provision of payment services).
However, an assessment of the legal requirements needs to be conducted in each case based on the specific business model.
Also, not only may RegTechs need to comply with general legislation, incl. data protection regulations or anti-money laundering regulations (if their product concerns AML), in some cases, they will be directly or indirectly regulated by financial regulations laying down rules and conditions under which financial entities may outsource their activities to the third parties (regulated outsourcing).
