RegTech for Regulators

The RegTech for Regulators Accelerator (R2A) partners with leading financial sector authorities to pioneer the next generation of tools and techniques for regulation, market supervision, and policy analysis. Accessing new datasets and analyzing available data more effectively allows financial authorities to establish a body of knowledge and evidence to drive smart policy reforms that promote financial inclusion and ensure financial stability, integrity, and consumer protection. R2A accelerates these advances by helping authorities re-imagine how they collect and manage data, and by prototyping new solutions that strengthen their capabilities. Through R2A, partner financial authorities seek to harness technology to improve the speed, quality, and comprehensiveness of information in support of targeted, risk-based decision-making.

Launched in October 2016, R2A has already partnered with the Bangko Sentral ng Pilipinas (BSP) and the Mexican Comisión Nacional Bancaria y de Valores (CNBV) to develop and test next-generation prototypes that can serve as examples for other supervisors and regulators. R2A is an initiative managed by global consulting firm BFA and Rockefeller Philanthropy Advisors, and is sponsored by the Bill & Melinda Gates Foundation, Omidyar Network, and the US Agency for International Development.
