The online course, which is available here, will provide training to professionals dealing in the regulation and technology (RegTech) space. It also features exclusive content, including research presentations, panel discussions, video lessons, whitepapers, reports and case studies.
RegTech involves the management of regulation processes used in the financial industry such as reporting, monitoring and compliance, according to Investopedia. Often, companies use cloud computing embodied as “software-as-a-service” to achieve compliance in efficient and cost-effective ways.
“RegTech is now mission critical for financial institutions. Regulatory technology is disrupting processes, workloads, roles and responsibilities. RegTech solutions are impacting the way leaders manage financial institutions and radically changing the way professionals work in compliance, risk management, technology, operations and digital transformation,” according to the announcement from FinTech Global.

The FinTech Global course can be tailored to the needs of the individual, and can be completed somewhere in between 10 and 25 hours. Upon completion, participants will be awarded a Professional RegTech Certificate, according to the company.
“The Professional RegTech Certificate course was produced in response to demand from the global financial services industry for more RegTech skills,” notes the announcement. “It is designed for experienced finance professionals as well as new graduates looking to enter the financial services industry. It fits around professional work commitments and meets key organizational learning objectives.”
RegTech has been a hot-button topic in recent months, as it is growing in importance and relevance as the finance and technology industries continue to bleed into each other. As such, new RegTech guidance was also recently handed down from the Hong Kong Monetary Authority (HKMA) to help assist banks by providing detailed implementation and practice information. To that end, they launched the Regtech Adoption Practice Guide series, which was based off of a two-year “promotion roadmap” announced in November of 2020.
“Each Regtech Adoption Practice Guide focuses on a specific technology or application area identified in the HKMA’s White Paper to further Regtech adoption in the Hong Kong banking sector,” according to the monetary authority.
The first issue will deal with guidance related to “Cloud-based Regtech solutions,” notes the HKMA.
