Fintech: how the financial innovation industry is taking shape around the world (2026)
Banking & Financial Law Committee
This collaborative project brings together more than 50 contributions from legal practitioners across multiple jurisdictions to provide a comparative overview of the regulatory treatment of fintech activities worldwide. The guide explores how different jurisdictions regulate key areas of financial innovation, including payments, digital assets, lending, crowdfunding and other technology-driven financial services. By compiling jurisdiction-specific analyses in a single resource, the project seeks to facilitate cross-border understanding of fintech regulation and support market participants operating in an increasingly global and evolving regulatory environment.
