Purpose and benefits of the Regulatory Guidance Unit
Financial sector regulation is complex and can be difficult to navigate especially for new entrants and fintech innovators. With this in mind, in 2020, the IFWG established the Regulatory Guidance Unit (RGU) to guide you through aspects of financial sector-related regulation. Comprising all regulators within the IFWG, the RGU enables you to access the expertise of regulators.
By submitting an enquiry, you will have the benefit of regulatory guidance and steer from various regulatory authorities. The RGU cannot provide advice with regard to business models products, services or offerings, nor can it endorse or approve them. It serves to guide you through the regulatory frameworks to enable you to innovate responsibly.
Mandate of the Regulatory Guidance Unit
The RGU cannot advise on business models or how a firm should comply with the various regulatory requirements. Equally, the RGU does not endorse or approve business models, service or product offerings.
The RGU will treat the information shared by innovators as confidential. None of the information will be shared beyond the regulatory authorities. The information is specifically for regulatory purposes to provide the enquirer with guidance.
