STATE OF SUPTECH REPORT 2023 The Cambridge SupTech Lab’s State of SupTech Report 2023 presents insights on the evolution and current state of the digital transformation of financial supervision worldwide. The Report provides a global snapshot across several facets of supervisory technology, including underpinning digital infrastructure and technologies, supported supervisory use cases, approaches employed for developing and deploying suptech applications, the related challenges and risks, and the benefits gained by suptech adoption. The State of SupTech Report 2023 focuses on how the development and implementation of financial suptech is evolving across the globe, extracting insights from the information provided by 64 financial authorities such as central banks, securities and capital market authorities, financial conduct authorities, and insurance supervisors from six continents.  The survey responses boast a robust and geographically diverse representation of financial authorities, representing financial sector oversight for a significant population of approximately 2 billion people. key findings The positive trend in the adoption of suptech continues. 81% of surveyed financial authorities indicate their involvement in various suptech initiatives, an increase from the 71% reported last year. But only a small percentage (9%) of organisations have formulated a comprehensive suptech strategy or roadmap. Implementations remain in first- to second- generations of suptech, namely descriptive analytics, dashboards, on-premise relational databases, web portals, and static reports. However, Generative AI is slowly entering the suptech scene as a form of fourth-gen suptech (7.6%). The focus of suptech use cases remains on consumer protection and prudential banking supervision. Additional uses cases centre on anti-money laundering/counter-financing of terrorism/counter proliferation financing (AML/CFT/CPF) supervision, and cyber risk supervision, while progress is being made to advance use cases related to financial inclusion. More work needs to be done to prioritize digital assets and cryptocurrency oversight, as well as efforts related to Environment, Social, and Governance (ESG) goals. Cultural shifts are beginning to happen in leadership, training, and interdisciplinary collaboration to ground suptech adoption in the context of broader digital transformation of the agencies. Suptech adoption is making an impact, particularly in the speed with which financial authorities are able to respond to emerging risks and take supervisory action. More efficient information flows between consumers and supervisors is also leading to improved consumer protection and increased confidence in financial

Rules-based transaction monitoring and sanctions screening is a nightmare – for banks and analysts alike.... Every bank using a legacy TM/screening system needs an army of human analysts to process alerts. These analysts are often highly capable individuals with impressive qualifications. Yet they spend their days processing >99% false positive alerts. This means they’re using nearly 0% of the creative and analytical brainpower that got them there. In other words, the bank is spending enormous sums of money paying intelligent, motivated people to do mind-numbing work. Expensive for the bank, alienating for the analysts. 🤖 Artificial intelligence can change that. Machine learning can filter out low-risk false positives, so analysts can focus on high-risk alerts that require their human intuition and knowledge. Transitioning to using AI in TM and screening should be a no-brainer… 🤔 So why are so many financial institutions – including global, Tier 1 banks – still operating the traditional way? 💸 The answer: it’s too expensive to overhaul an existing TM/screening solution. Doing this could take banks years and cost them dozens of engineers. They face a potentially hefty fee for exiting their existing contract. Meanwhile, isn’t it risky to implement a whole new software package with no direct experience of it? Know what customers love about our FinCrime SaaS suite at Complidata? This hurdle is eliminated. Our optimisation models deliver the full power of machine learning and generative AI as a simple overlay to any existing TM or screening solution. No overhaul needed. 📈 The results: --> Alert volume reduced by up to 80% --> 0.0% loss of true positives --> Additional true positives unearthed via anomaly detection (—> more crime prevented) --> Implementation in days or weeks, not months or years --> Happier, more mentally stimulated analysts (—> greater employee retention) 💬 If you're interested in finding out more, do reach out! #TransactionMonitoring #FinCrime #SaaS #RegTech #Compliance #AMLCFT #MachineLearning #ArtificialIntelligence #Explainability Ben Arber Matthias Verbeke Lilia Tira Alex Gray Roderick Trekels

The regulatory landscape in the financial services industry is subject to frequent changes. Here are some general trends and themes that were prevalent around that time, but keep in mind that the situation may have evolved since then: Digital Transformation and Fintech Regulation: Regulatory bodies are adapting to the rapid growth of fintech, focusing on striking a balance between fostering innovation and ensuring consumer protection. Regulatory sandboxes, which allow companies to test innovative products in a controlled environment, have become more common. Cybersecurity and Data Protection: With the increasing frequency and sophistication of cyber threats, financial regulators are emphasizing the importance of robust cybersecurity measures. Regulations related to data protection, such as GDPR (General Data Protection Regulation), are also impacting how financial institutions handle customer data. Sustainable Finance and ESG (Environmental, Social, and Governance): There is a growing emphasis on integrating environmental, social, and governance factors into financial decision-making. Regulatory initiatives are encouraging transparency and reporting on sustainable finance practices. Anti-Money Laundering (AML) and Counter-Terrorism Financing (CTF): Authorities are tightening regulations to combat money laundering and terrorism financing. Financial institutions are required to implement more stringent AML and CTF measures, including enhanced due diligence and reporting obligations. Remote Work Compliance: The rise of remote work, accelerated by the COVID-19 pandemic, has led regulators to address associated challenges, including data security, privacy, and the effectiveness of remote compliance monitoring. Consumer Protection and Financial Inclusion: Regulators are focusing on ensuring fair treatment of consumers and promoting financial inclusion. This includes measures to address predatory lending practices, enhance transparency, and expand access to financial services. Cryptocurrency and Digital Assets: The regulatory framework for cryptocurrencies and digital assets is evolving. Some jurisdictions are introducing or refining regulations to address issues related to market integrity, investor protection, and the prevention of financial crime. RegTech Adoption: Regulatory Technology (RegTech) solutions are gaining prominence as financial institutions seek more efficient ways to comply with regulatory requirements. RegTech tools assist in areas such as reporting, compliance monitoring, and risk management.
