While the pandemic has created numerous issues for businesses throughout the world, it has also created a new digital gap in the market for the RegTech industry. Money laundering suspicious activity reports are at an all-time high in a number of countries, including Germany and Switzerland. In the United Kingdom, the UKFIU received and processed 573,085 suspicious activity reports (SARs) in 2019-20, reaching a record high (a 20 percent increase on the previous period). Financial technology (fintech) organizations had the greatest growth in SARs. They submitted 83,609 SARs in 2019-20, a 263.94 percent increase over the previous year (22,973). Fintech accounted for 64% of the overall increase in SARs.
According to Muinmos CEO Remonda Kirketerp-Mller, prior to the crisis, RegTech was already a rapidly developing sector, and the pandemic has undoubtedly boosted its growth. The pandemic’s increase in online financial activities, combined with the need for robust, remote solutions for compliance officials working from home, generated an unprecedented demand for RegTech solutions.
The new environment created by the pandemic has tested operational workflows of all companies across multiple verticals. Many businesses realized that their procedures are not as impermeable and automated as they believed. The realization imparted a sense of strong necessity to automate and digitize as many regulatory procedures and workflows as feasible.
In other words, it increased the demand for RegTech solutions. The automation of regulatory duties makes them dependable support of the business, and there is no going back. As a result, the pandemic aided in raising the prior status quo to a higher level, which now serves as the foundation for further automatization and digitization in the regulatory environment.
