Trends in RegTech

Recent trends in Regulatory Technology (RegTech) in South Africa highlight a growing focus on compliance and innovation in response to evolving regulations.

Key trends include:

• Response to Greylisting: Following South Africa's recent inclusion in the Financial Action Task Force (FATF) Greylist, there is an urgent need for enhanced compliance with international standards. This has driven financial institutions to adopt RegTech solutions that improve their anti-money laundering (AML) and counter-terrorism financing (CFT) capabilities.
• Automation of Compliance Processes: Companies increasingly implement automated systems to streamline compliance tasks such as KYC (Know Your Customer) and regulatory reporting. This automation reduces manual errors and enhances efficiency in meeting regulatory requirements.
• Collaboration with Technology Providers: Financial institutions are forming partnerships with RegTech firms to leverage innovative solutions for compliance challenges. These collaborations aim to enhance operational efficiency and ensure adherence to regulatory frameworks.
