Description

Fintechs and Regulatory Compliance


This IDC Perspective discusses how financial technology (fintech) companies and banks that provide those companies with bank accounts will continue to struggle to meet the expectations of U.S. regulators provided that there may be insufficient information supplied by the fintechs to the banks to conduct activities that are required per regulations. In addition to structuring the contractual requirements between fintechs and their banks to require the collection and use of customer and transactional data required to meet U.S. regulatory requirements, it will be necessary to determine what technological solutions may be needed to complete know-your-customer (KYC), sanctions screening, and transaction monitoring actions required by U.S. regulators. If the solutions adopted by fintechs and their banks include the storage and transmission of customer and transactional data, which seems likely in many cases, then additional concerns arise regarding data privacy and information security that will also need to be addressed. Although both banks and fintech companies have concerns about the incremental costs and effort associated with regulatory compliance, it is vitally important to make some challenging decisions about how best to take the actions necessary to comply with U.S. regulatory requirements. "Banks and their fintech customers will need to collaborate and consider technological solutions needed to help meet the bank's regulatory expectations with respect to AML, including KYC and transaction monitoring, and sanctions screening" — Sean O'Malley, research director, IDC Financial Insights: Worldwide Compliance, Fraud and Risk Analytics Strategies

How Do Licenses Work?

How Do Licenses Work?

The primary function of a report license is to define how many people within a company are authorized to use the purchased report. This is separate to how a report might be delivered. Unless specifically identified otherwise, the purchase option is Single User. Below is a helpful description of that license, along with a sampling of others most commonly offered.

  • This license allows only one user to have access to and to use/read the report. It is not one user at a time or one user group; it is an individual who will be reading and utilizing the report.

  • This license allows for the entire purchasing company to read and use the report. This is the license level that would allow for a report to be placed on an internal company shared drive for access by all employees of that direct company. This license does not extend to parent or sister company use.

  • This license is designed to allow an entire department within a company full access to a report. The departmental license is a great option for companies that have more than one location and the department is spread out all over the country/world

  • This license is for companies that have one location where they want the report to be accessible by all employees within that physical location.

  • This is the most flexible of the licensing options. Some publishers will allow you to get a license for a preset number of people (typically 5). These licenses are ideal for small work groups.

License options are at the discretion of each publisher. As such, not all licenses indicated above are available for every product. If you are uncertain of the best license for your needs or would like a license that is not proactively available, please contact us and we will be happy to assist.
