About The RegTech Association

The RegTech Association is a non-profit industry body founded in 2017. We exist to accelerate the adoption of regulatory technology by connecting the people and organisations working across the compliance, risk, and technology landscape.

Our members include RegTech companies building compliance solutions, the banks, insurers, and corporates buying them, government agencies, regulators, consulting firms, academic institutions, and individual professionals. Between them they span 46 countries and represent every stage of the RegTech supply chain, from early-stage startups to some of the world’s largest financial institutions.

We run a global directory dedicated to RegTech, produce an annual industry research program, and host more than a dozen events each year across virtual and in-person formats. Since 2020, our programs have attracted over 22,000 registrations.

Our mission Accelerate the adoption of RegTech.
Our vision A centre for global RegTech excellence.

How we work

We measure our progress against four priorities, set by the board and reviewed annually.

🤝
Connections that lead to commercial outcomes

Our directory, showcase events, and networking programs are designed to bring buyers and sellers together in structured formats. 37% of our event audience are buyers from regulated entities. Our programs are built around specific risk categories, with timed presentations and curated introductions.

🎓
Education and industry promotion

We run two recurring virtual event series and a premium in-person conference program.

#RegTechEdgeNoBorders

Product showcases focused on single risk areas, 8–10 per year

#RegTechMatters

Education events built from invite-only roundtables with industry leaders, 2–3 per year

ACCELERATE

Premium in-person conferences in Sydney, London, and New York

Both virtual series are recorded and published on YouTube.

📊
Industry research

We’ve published an annual Industry Perspectives Report since 2019, benchmarking the state of the global RegTech sector. The research covers adoption trends, buyer appetite, regulatory onboarding of technology, and the risks being addressed.

73% of respondents expect generative AI to substantially transform RegTech within 1–2 years
67% of regulated institutions expect their appetite for RegTech to increase
