This document compares the FinTech regulatory regimes in the UK and Hungary. It provides examples of FinTech projects like crowdfunding, payment services, and data analytics. The UK regulator (FCA) takes an approach that favors innovation while ensuring consumer protection. The FCA provides guidance and consults with firms but regulatory burden is high. Hungary has no FinTech regulation yet but specific rules may be introduced. Key issues being addressed include PSD2 implementation and developing instant payments. New technologies like bitcoin raise questions about appropriate regulation.
Fintech and Data Protection by Balint Halasz and Zoltan Tarjan 25 10 2016bhalasz
This document summarizes key topics from a presentation on data protection in FinTech, including:
- Data processing and legal issues in FinTech like profiling, credit scoring, and international data transfers.
- An overview of the upcoming GDPR and new requirements like increased penalties, data breach rules, and direct liability of processors.
- How profiling and big data are used in financial services for tasks like risk assessment, fraud detection, and customer analytics.
- Rights of data subjects related to profiling, automated decisions, and accessing processing logic/consequences.
- Requirements for privacy impact assessments when profiling poses high risks to individuals.
- Solutions for international data transfers under GDPR like Privacy Shield, standard contractual
This document discusses legal aspects of privacy and data protection related to risk scoring at customer acceptance. It provides an overview of current EU privacy law, which is based on obtaining opt-in consent for processing personal data. Nearly all available data for credit scoring is considered personal data. The definition of personal data has been interpreted broadly by the EU courts to include information like IP addresses and social media activity. The new EU privacy regulation proposed in 2016/2017 aims to strengthen protections but negotiations between the European Parliament and Council have resulted in differing proposals that take differing stances toward business and consumer interests. In the meantime, companies should monitor developments, review contracts, and prepare for compliance with new obligations around data security, breach notification, and oversight.
1. The document discusses the legal implications of a Dutch court case regarding an automated system for detecting potential frauds. The court found the system lacked proportionality and transparency.
2. It examines how this case and principles of privacy from the European Convention on Human Rights apply to international tax administration and data exchange. Automatic profiling and decision-making may violate a taxpayer's right to a fair procedure.
3. Recent developments in international tax cooperation have increased automatic exchange of broad financial and personal data. However, privacy and proportionality principles from the ECHR, EU law, and other legal frameworks still apply limits to protect taxpayers' fundamental rights.
Blockchain would be the most likely and viable solution of Anti Money Laundering problems. Banking, financial as well as non financial industries along with regulators can benefit from this tecchnology
Digital payments and SupTech were the two main topics that emerged at the recent meeting in Basel of the Global Financial Standard Setting Bodies (SSBs) on new developments in FinTech.
The presentation slides were prepared and delivered by Better Than Cash Alliance member, Bangko Sentral ng Pilipinas.
The document discusses the development of the Uniform Rules for Digital Trade (URDT) by the ICC Banking Commission. It provides the following information:
- The URDT is being drafted to establish a framework for the digitalization of trade finance. An initial draft has been distributed for feedback.
- The draft takes a technology-neutral approach and assumes an underlying physical trade transaction documented electronically. It includes definitions, signatures, responsibilities of parties, and payment obligations.
- Key issues discussed include aligning definitions with local law while using UNCITRAL models, and ensuring the rules remain agnostic to specific technologies. National committees are asked to provide feedback on the draft by November 8th.

FIN-FSA's annual conference on 22 November 2017: Financial Services 2022 – How will financial services develop in the next few years?
Financial services club, 17 january 2018Chris Skinner
The Bulgarian EU Presidency aims to complete the Banking Union and further develop the Capital Markets Union. Other priorities include mitigating EMIR and MiFID II obligations, establishing a pan-European pension product, and overseeing Brexit negotiations. The Retail Financial Services Action Plan seeks to reduce cross-border transaction charges and enable easier switching of financial services across EU borders. New regulations will introduce EU supervision of large financial institutions and require reporting on climate risks. The GDPR will take effect in May 2018, increasing data protection requirements for companies processing EU citizens' data. After Brexit, the UK will need to implement an equivalent framework to the GDPR for data transfers.
This webinar provides an overview of:
- The regulatory landscape
- Territorial scope
- Remedies, liabilities and penalties
- Risk management and the GDPR
- Legal requirement for a DPIA
- Why and how to conduct a data flow mapping exercise
- What are the challenges?
- What is an information flow?
- The questions to ask

20190131 - Presentation Q&A on legislation's influence (on travel management)Tommy Vandepitte
Presentation given at the event organised by ACTE and BATM on 31 January 2019 addressing a few questions on the payments legislation that are relevant for travel and expense manager.
Legal changes in marketing automation require compliance with GDPR and data export regulations. Tools that export personal data outside the EU without proper safeguards like Google Analytics have come under increased scrutiny, as they violate GDPR. Marketers must choose tools and vendors carefully to ensure personal data is not exported unlawfully and that their marketing activities respect privacy rights.
WIth the go-live date of MiFID II just around the corner, I take the liberty to offer you an overview of regulations coming in the next period and which should have your focus.
Also, I take the opportunity to wish you all a Happy, Successful and Healthy 2018!
The enclosed presentation covers a number of the most important regulatory topics to hit the financial markets as of 2018.
This presentation by Peder Østbye, Special Adviser, Norges Bank, was made during the discussion “Blockchain and Competition” held at the 129th meeting of the OECD Competition Committee on 8 June 2018. More papers and presentations on the topic can be found out at oe.cd/2gx.
This document outlines the formation and objectives of an expert group convened by the European Commission to provide guidance on digital onboarding and remote customer due diligence (CDD) processes in the financial sector. The expert group consists of representatives from financial institutions, consumer organizations, and other relevant stakeholders. It aims to study existing remote onboarding solutions, develop best practice recommendations, and assess the need for a framework to enable portable KYC/CDD across institutions. The group will focus on two priority issues: evaluating remote onboarding methods and their use, and determining the necessary attributes and assurance levels for effective remote KYC/CDD. It will provide reports and opinions to assist the European Commission.
This document summarizes the opportunities and challenges of the FinTech sector. It describes what FinTech is and the major trends, including the emergence of firms providing crowdfunding, virtual assets, and electronic payments. Mexico has over 2,000 FinTech firms concentrated in payments, lending, and markets. The FinTech sector benefits financial inclusion but also poses risks like money laundering that require regulation. Mexico passed a FinTech law in 2018 to regulate crowdfunding, electronic payments, and virtual assets entities while promoting innovation through a regulatory sandbox.
This Webinar featuring guests from the EU Commission, the French data regulator CNIL, DLA Piper and IBM provided an overview of the new EU data protection and privacy perspective from the perspective of the regulation author, regulator, legal advisor and technology providers.
G20 regulatory overview in partnership with EDM WorksTom White
The document provides an overview of regulatory reform in the financial services industry from a G20 perspective. It discusses the massive amount of new regulation being implemented, with over 300,000 pages of reforms in progress. This is creating significant upheaval and challenges for firms to make sense of and align with the many conflicting regulations. The document outlines some of the key regulatory initiatives and changes being implemented across different areas such as capital requirements, trading and transparency. It also discusses the challenges of managing regulatory data and having a holistic view across different regulatory lenses. The company, JWG, provides services to help firms understand and manage their regulatory obligations.
This document discusses how blockchain technology could impact antitrust enforcement and compliance. It notes that competition matters require collecting, analyzing, and drawing inferences from data. Blockchain could allow for faster information gathering, more robust competition assessments using granular and reliable data, and help resolve information asymmetries. However, several hurdles remain, such as the nascent nature of the technology and procedural issues regarding rules of evidence and reliability of permissioned blockchains. The impact on private competition enforcement also remains uncertain.

This document discusses RegTech and the regulatory landscape for digital finance. It defines RegTech as technologies that help financial institutions meet regulatory requirements more efficiently. RegTech applications include regulatory compliance, risk management, financial crime prevention, and know-your-customer processes. The document also examines the EU's Payment Services Directive 2 (PSD2), which aims to increase competition by regulating new market players like account information and payment initiation service providers. PSD2 establishes rules for bank data access and sharing liability for fraudulent transactions.
Discusses Latest Trends in the Payments Industry from a global perspective. Starts with the increase in digital payments to the the need for banks to re-look at how they approach compliance to REgTechs to Regulatory Sandbox to Open API to Security and Authentication
“The private banks want a European digital single market for financial services and will help to actively promote it,” stresses Michael Mandel, Chairman of the association’s Retail and Wholesale Banking Committee and Member of Commerzbank’s Board of Managing Directors with responsibility for the Business Segment Private and Business Customers. Taking as its starting point the question of how the dynamics of digitisation can be harnessed for this purpose and avoid being held back, the Association of German Banks has now published the study “Digital Payments 2020”. Mandel: “Our goal must be to enable consumers to use standardised mobile payment methods across national borders throughout Europe.”
Mandel sees a particular need to ensure in the context of the new payment services directive PSD2 that the same rules apply to all payment service providers – be they banks or fintechs. Andreas Krautscheid, Member of the Senior Management Board of the Association of German Banks, underlines: “We certainly see room for improvement on some aspects of PSD2 in this respect.” He finds it incomprehensible, for instance, that third-party providers have legally binding access to banks’ infrastructure, but not vice versa. “On top of that, we’re expecting the European Commission to publish an action plan on retail financial services in March. To make sure discussions move in the right direction, we want to get a debate going as soon as possible,” Krautscheid adds.
In its study, the association identifies three key areas for action: 1. mobile payment solutions need to be promoted to increase their reach in person-to-person (P2P) and point-of-sale (POS) transactions, 2. there should be more competition and freedom of choice between e-commerce payment methods, and 3. a standardised modern, digital onboarding procedure should be established to ensure services can be offered digitally and Europe-wide.
Michael Mandel: “We shouldn’t get bogged down in details in Europe but should focus on what really matters – for us that means providing payment services and having a standard procedure for registering and identifying customers.”
Digital Money, from a regulatory point of viewPatrick Bucquet
Unclear regulation about digital money allows new comers to enter and change the market, and now regulators are struggling to push even more for financial inclusion while protecting the customers.
From local approaches to a global one, regulators and governance bodies need to share insights and anticipate developments to build a consistent framework.
Simont Braun - Webinar PSD3 PSR Evolution or Revolution?FinTech Belgium
The document summarizes key changes proposed in the draft PSD3 and PSR regulations. It outlines the timeline for the draft, approval process, and implementation. The main objectives of PSD3/PSR are strengthening user protection, improving open banking competitiveness, better enforcement across member states, and improving non-bank access to payment systems. Key changes include strengthening authorization standards, clarifying capital requirements, enhancing access to payment systems and accounts, improving open banking and data sharing standards, and bolstering enforcement powers. Significant guidance will be required from the EBA on implementation. While increased harmonization is aimed for, some question if full harmonization can be achieved given optionality left for member states.

This document describes FORFIRM, an ICT company specialized in fintech, and its spinoff IBANP, which aims to introduce account number portability to the European banking market. It discusses the issues faced by banks and account holders due to the lack of ANP, and how IBANP's proposed solutions using blockchain and PSD2 regulations could address these issues by allowing account numbers to remain portable between banks. The benefits mentioned include facilitating bank reorganizations and internal/international customer mobility while reducing compliance costs. Potential objections from industry groups are addressed, and views from the European Commission supporting further evaluation of ANP are presented.
Digital Customer Due Diligence: Leveraging Third-Party UtilitiesCognizant

Keynote speech by Mr. Esmond Lee, JP
Executive Director (Financial Infrastructure), Hong Kong Monetary Authority
Speech topic: Mobile, Internet-based and Electronic Payments – Initiatives and Regulations
The document discusses recent EU regulations that have impacted payments, including PSD2 and MiCA. PSD2 introduced third party providers and open banking, allowing payment initiation and access to account information. MiCA established rules for crypto assets and service providers. Upcoming regulations like PSD3, FIDA and instant payments reforms aim to improve competition and access. While regulations can burden fintechs, they also create opportunities by enabling new business models, adding stability and trust, and facilitating data sharing and innovation.

CGAP Landscape Study on International Remittances through Mobile 2012CGAP
Since the 2010 study, there has been growth in live international remittance deployments using mobile channels, though over half of planned deployments from 2010 have still not launched. Usage of existing services appears very low compared to overall mobile wallet customers. Successfully deploying international remittances through mobile money faces significant challenges, including operational difficulties, a lack of sender/recipient education and trust, and regulations. Establishing a strong domestic mobile money ecosystem first is key before launching international services. While some new models are emerging, traditional providers like Western Union still maintain large advantages through their existing networks and brand recognition. Operators remain optimistic about the long-term potential for mobile remittances.
