Goodbye, January & Welcome to February, the last month has flown by and we have been busy working on lots of new content gathered during the month and from the last quarter of 2022.

 We make all of our insights available on our Radar platform some of which are accessible with a free account and others require a Pro subscription.

 But – we don’t want you to miss out, so we’ve decided to make our Pro subscription free for 1 month.

 Dive in! Head over to  Radar to see our latest insights including webinar replays, expert insights, speeches, content and.

It’s too easy to think that RegTech is a subset of FinTech. If you’ve read any of our research reports you’ll know that’s not our belief. Whether it is good governance of corporate businesses, carbon reporting, fair and efficient taxation, or defence against Cybercrime, it’s very clear to us that RegTech is here to stay across multiple industries. I was delighted to attend a day-long event on RegTech in Government and you’ll find out viewpoint below.

October marked the start of a big quarter of digital webinars for our clients, we ran our own Webinar showcasing the ongoing research we do in the Reg and RiskTech market and have 2 more planned in November. Take a look! 

Finally, congratulations to the rising stars in our Radar platform. Dive in a take a look at solutions to your problems. You can take a look at our insights and listings, signup for free to access full company profiles, or upgrade to a Pro account to get in-depth insights.

As the nights draw in and the temperatures reduce in the Northern Hemisphere, I’m finally coming to terms with the fact that our Summer has ended. In true entrepreneurial style however, the team have been really busy during September with business trips, projects, new events and discussions with clients and prospects.

We’ve had a number of conversations in the past month about the amount of regulatory change and this will be the focus on our Q4 pulse webinar, look out for an email inviting you to register for our Q4 events next week. We are also pleased to release our market map update in the category of regulatory compliance management, let us know if we missed anyone?

Finally, we are really pleased to support organisations who are conducting research, please take some time to check out the Northrow survey below and take a look at our social media posts on the 2022 Thomson Reuters, cost of compliance. It proves we really are researchers at heart! 

I hope you enjoyed your summer!  

We’ve spent time catching up on our own internal content, focussing on Web3 related topics over the last month or so. September is always a busy month delivering for our clients as they look to close off 2022 with a bang! 

It’s not been all work though, we’ve been catching up for summer lunches and drinks with several RegTech movers and shakers and also managed a company day off during August!

As I previewed in my last update, July was a gangbuster month.

Last week we travelled to the International Finance Centre (IFC) of Jersey to launch research commissioned by the Jersey Financial Services Commission. I could not have been happier with the response we have received to the report and the welcome we received on the Island. We look forward to working with many stakeholders in ensuring Jersey is one of the most innovative financial services sectors in the world.

We also connected with old friends, clients and new contacts on our own webinar. The first we’ve done in a while to talk about Web3. We take a risk based view of the areas of Crypto and the wider Web3 ecosystem. Let us know what you think?

We’ve also been busy writing about Cyber Risk, Financial Crime and Buy Now Pay Later. Bring on the 2H of 2022!   

As we head towards the summer months in the northern hemisphere, things show no real sign of slowing down and June has been a big month for RegTech Associates! As we expand on our mission to become the premium research brand for RegTech and RiskTech we have appointed 9 fantastic folks into our expert network. 

I’ve always liked Cisco’s slogan of ‘powering the internet, that’s how I like to think of our content writing service ‘powering RegTech growth’. We create research-based content for many clients and this month we showcase some pieces written for encompass, Glassbox, and Napier. If you are a founder or CMO, looking to grow revenue – let’s talk about how we can help. 

Finally, July is going to be a gang-buster month, with 2 webinars, and the launch of our showcase piece of research for the Jersey Financial Services Commission.  

I hope you are all keeping well, May has been a busy month for us, ending with ESG week. We’ve been focusing on the ESG sector and as you’ll see below have really been engaging the ESG Tech suppliers.

Alongside that, events have kept us busy; anyone involved in Financial Crime; should check out the Feedzai event below. We; look forward to supporting Glassbox in June with Emma Parry, one of our expert speakers, at their event with UK Finance.

I hope you are all keeping well and safe, firstly an apology for getting the April update out a bit later than we would have liked.

Growing a company comes with challenges and we are no exception! Delivery for our clients is centre stage right now, alongside onboarding new team members. We are nearing the end of a couple of large client engagements, whilst trying to keep up the pace of our industry research.

• The team at RegTech Associates has recently published an update on the regulatory and technology landscape around ESG.

And just like that, the first quarter of 2022 is over. 

March has been a very challenging and difficult month for many people and our thoughts are with all those affected by the situation in Ukraine. The international economic response of imposing additional sanctions has been a big focus of activity for financial institutions – hopefully making good use of RegTech to help them meet this challenge.

The team at RegTech Associates has been busy furthering our understanding of Web3, as well as the constantly evolving regulatory landscape around ESG. 

We released version 2.2 of Radar to the market, giving users access to blogs for free, changing the credit value of our insights, and much more. We even hit the milestone of listing over 1,400 risk and RegTech products!  Check it out here.

Finally, we published three new insights this month: we looked at how  RegTech can be leveraged for compliance success and how to find a suitable solution for your needs, we created a summary of our  Transparency and the company registry challenge roundtable that was held in January, and detailed what’s new from our  Radar v2.2 upgrade.  

2022 looks like it’s going to be a big year, and not only for the risk and RegTech industries.
