Financial services regulation has grown at an astonishing rate since the financial crisis… and so has the cost of compliance.
The rising cost of compliance (not forgetting the cost of non-compliance!) is the main driver for the adoption of RegTech solutions.
RegTech not only cuts the cost of compliance processes, it also improves the effectiveness making them quicker and more reliable, reducing hassle for customers, and lessening the risk of costly compliance failures.
But the potential of RegTech extends way beyond making compliance more efficient.
With all of these benefits, you would think adoption of RegTech solutions by compliance functions would be soaring, but unfortunately the process of ‘selling’ to compliance still remains a challenge.
Join our latest webinar where a panel of experts will discuss:
• trends around the increasing use of technology by compliance functions
• demystifying what compliance officers really look for when choosing a RegTech vendor
• presentation tips and preparation that RegTech’s should do before they engage with compliance
Supporting our network to achieve wellbeing and feel empowered is key to RegTech Women - given the current climate, the need for financial wellbeing has never been more important.
With this in mind, as part of our broader wellbeing agenda and to support the financial wellbeing of RegTech Women during these challenging times, we are pleased to invite you to attend a financial wellbeing webinar led by financial wellbeing specialists Morrinson Wealth Wellbeing.
What will you learn?
• Financial planning basics and the cost of living
• How to provide for your retirement
• Investment principles and attitude to risk
• Protecting you and your loved ones
• Planning for your future lifestyle
After the webinar, you will have the option to book a 45-minute 1:1 virtual consultation with a qualified financial advisor. These confidential consultations are non-committal, to follow on from topics discussed during the webinar and will provide you with an independent view based on your own individual financial circumstances, goals and objectives.
Female-founded FinTech’s accounted for 17% of the UK’s total FinTech venture capital (VC) investments throughout 2020. Although this figure is up 6% from 2019, it still shows a need for improvement.
There are many reasons why female founders still make up a minority of FinTech VC funding in the UK – and globally.

The global pandemic has shaken the world in many ways. The impacts of crises are never gender-neutral, and COVID-19 is no exception.
From an economic point of view, it is frequently reported that women are more likely to be impacted financially by the pandemic, and more likely to work in sectors impacted by job losses, such as retail and hospitality.
The rapid migration to digital has been powerful: Mastercard recently announced they saw more customers move to online services during the first 10 weeks of lockdown than it had seen during the previous five years. But women are more likely to be digitally excluded. And, as business owners, women often rely on in-person sales that are hard to move online and they feel less adept at managing additional transaction requirements such as cyber security.
The fact is, financial services in its current state does not work for most women.
Join our latest webinar where RegTech Women Co-founder Lucy Heavens talks to Francesca Hopwood-Road, Head of RegTech and Advanced Analytics at the Financial Conduct Authority (FCA) about their latest Women’s Economic Empowerment TechSprint and how technology plays an important role in mitigating the negative economic impacts of COVID-19 on women.
What will be discussed?
• How the pandemic changed the way women;
o access financial services
o view their finances
o are able to cope with changes to their financial situation
• What technology can do to improve these situations
• Why the FCA decided to run a Women’s Economic Empowerment TechSprint
• How we can make these technologies more readily available and more widely known to women
• When women find themselves in difficult financial situations, where is the best place to go for advice
