Creating Enabling Fintech Ecosystems: The Role of Regulators

AFI member institutions are dedicated to harnessing the potential of FinTech to provide more people with financial services, such as payments, savings, insurance and credit, and build better futures for their families, while also supporting economic growth and poverty alleviation.

Through conversations with key stakeholders at the forefront of FinTech ecosystems in the AFI network, we have identified four key focus areas where regulators can contribute to building a well-functioning FinTech ecosystem:

1. organizational structure;
2. capacity and skill building;
3. engagement and outreach; and
4. regulatory frameworks and incentives.
