RegTech (Regulatory Technology) refers to the innovative use of technology to optimize regulatory processes, enhance compliance tools, and reduce regulatory costs. Compared to traditional methods, RegTech offers a more efficient and cost-effective approach to fulfilling ever-evolving regulatory and compliance requirements. As defined by the Institute of International Finance (IIF), RegTech is essentially 'the use of technologies to solve regulatory and compliance requirements more effectively and efficiently.' In short, it’s about 'using technology to implement regulation,' enabling businesses to manage complex demands with greater agility.

AML/CFT measures are vital efforts to combat illicit activities such as money laundering, which disguises funds from illegal practices (e.g., drug trafficking, corruption, fraud), and terrorist financing. Governments globally implement robust legal frameworks and foster cross-border collaboration to prevent these crimes, ensuring a more transparent and secure global financial system. AML/CFT regulations promote accountability, deter illicit financial transactions, and preserve the integrity of financial institutions.

AML/CFT regulations apply to a broad spectrum of financial sectors, including banks, money service providers, SFC licensed corporations, financial intermediaries, insurance companies, virtual asset service providers, and money lenders. Compliance is also mandated for non-financial businesses and professions such as dealers in precious metals and gemstones, trust companies, investment funds (e.g., LPFs, OFCs), fund administrators, family offices, and operators of casinos and gaming establishments.
