Thirty UK tech companies named on the second annual RegTech 100 List

UK-based companies are leading the way in modernizing the compliance function and have taken 30 places on the RegTech 100, a global list recognizing the innovative companies every financial institution needs to know about in 2019.

The RegTech (regulatory technology) industry has seen huge growth in the last two years as banks and financial institutions grapple with the unrelenting pace of regulatory change across all jurisdictions. The RegTech 100 list helps senior management at compliance, technology and innovation divisions sort through all the suppliers and identify companies who are most likely to have a lasting impact on the industry.

This year’s 100 companies were chosen by a panel of analysts and industry experts who voted from a longlist of 824 companies produced by RegTech Analyst, a specialist research firm. Despite 55 new entries on the list, the UK RegTech industry reinforced its leadership status by placing 30 solutions providers, compared to 26 last year.

“London has consolidated its position as the world’s leading innovation hub in RegTech. The combination of a supportive regulator and government, a well-developed tech sector, the abundance of capital and high FinTech adoption rates has fostered the growth of RegTech companies which offer mission-critical solutions to financial institutions.” said Mariyan Dimitrov, head of research at RegTech Analyst.
