Staying compliant in finance once meant sifting through endless regulations and paperwork. That’s changing fast. Regulatory technology, or RegTech, is transforming how financial institutions handle compliance and risk management.
With innovative tools and automation, it’s making once-burdensome tasks faster, more accurate, and far less stressful.
And according to a PwC report, firms that utilize RegTech can reduce compliance costs by 30% to 50%.
In this post, we’ll explore how RegTech is reshaping the finance world — and why it’s becoming a must-have for modern, agile businesses.
We’ll also examine how Intalio’s data governance and content services enable organizations to stay compliant without hindering innovation.
What Is RegTech?
RegTech is an essential tool for financial institutions to ensure compliance with regulations. It’s a technology that streamlines compliance by automating processes such as monitoring, reporting, and risk assessment.
Think of it as a digital assistant that helps you conduct operations by the book of law.
RegTech utilizes AI and data analytics to quickly interpret complex rules. Intalio’s data governance toolkit, a leader in digital transformation, supports this with tools like Intalio Insight, helping firms manage data compliance efficiently.
Simplifying Financial Compliance
Compliance in finance is non-negotiable but often overwhelming. RegTech solutions make it manageable by automating regulatory reporting and monitoring. They scan transactions for issues like money laundering in real time.
Intalio’s Data Processing tools, for instance, extract and analyze data from financial documents, ensuring accuracy.
The same PwC study found that firms using RegTech reduce compliance errors. This automation frees up teams to focus on strategy, keeping businesses agile and compliant.
Strengthening Risk Management
Risk management is a core component of finance. RegTech enhances it by identifying potential risks before they escalate to major issues. It utilizes AI to analyze data patterns, flagging anomalies like fraud or market risks.
Intalio Insight offers a secure repository with advanced analytics, letting firms track risks with clear visuals. This proactive approach builds trust.
By integrating RegTech with governance, risk, and compliance systems, businesses stay ahead of threats while meeting regulatory demands.
Streamlining Data Compliance
Data compliance is critical in a world of strict privacy laws. RegTech ensures data is handled securely, meeting standards like GDPR or CCPA.
This innovative technology automates data classification and access controls, reducing breaches. Intalio’s Content Services, including Records Management, create a digital strongbox for sensitive records, with audit trails for accountability.
