Regulation Asia has been at the forefront of the Regtech community in APAC; this inaugural event made up of pitch sessions, panels and fireside chats will facilitate a space where the Regtech community can come together to share the latest solutions alongside insights, networking and more

The Event

Over the last few months, Regulation Asia has been inviting hundreds of firms to submit their solution for an opportunity to be selected to appear on stage at Pitch! Regtech. These firms will then have the opportunity to present for 7 minutes, followed by 5 minutes of Q&A by our selected judges

Winning firms will not only get the accolade of winning their respective category, but also appear at the Singapore Fintech Festival, in a special facilitation between the two organisations.

Panel 1: Technology-enabled Financial Crime Fighting: Meeting Future Compliance Needs 

Financial crime continues to pose one of the biggest risks to the global economy. The estimated annual cost of money laundering and associated crimes is between US$1.4 trillion and US$3.5 trillion, with banks spending an average of US$1 billion per year trying to combat them. 

Inconsistencies in risk management, a lack of information sharing between banks, inefficient risk and control processes, and legacy technology systems are among the most pressing pain points that make the financial industry vulnerable to bad actors.

This session explores how the latest RegTech tools can address these pain points, leveraging the latest developments in AI, big data, advanced analytics, biometrics, and other innovations.
