Financial services might not have the largest number of regulations (manufacturing wins that crown with 217,000), but there is no industry where so much of their day-to-day operations are governed by ever-changing rules, guidance, and industry standards. They even have their own acronyms (KYC, AML, etc). And with millions of transactions daily covered by the regulations, financial institutions have long looked to automation to stay safe and compliant. These tools even have their own name, RegTech, a term coined by the UK’s Financial Conduct Authority (FCA) in 2015.

Naturally, the topic is covered at every major fintech and banking event. But if you work in the field, you will want to go much deeper at conferences that drill deeply into the nuances of Financial Regtech. Below is a calendar of the biggest global events.
