Eighth annual RegTech100 casts the limelight on the top regulatory technology innovators
RegTech Analyst has released the latest edition of its RegTech100 ranking, highlighting the businesses financial institutions need to keep an eye on in the RegTech industry and KYC Portal CLM has made it to the list, once again!
The 2025 RegTech100 list showcases some of the biggest disruptors and market leaders in regulatory technology helping financial institutions deal with the headwinds caused by technological innovation and regulatory change.
The financial industry this year has seen a large increase in regulatory fines, underlining some of the critical challenges that firms face in staying compliant amid growing regulatory scrutiny. In just the first half of 2024, global financial regulators levied 80 fines totalling $263.2m for non-compliance with AML regulations, including KYC sanctions, SARs and transaction monitoring violations.
This dynamic regulatory environment is boosting the growth prospects of the RegTech industry as it grew from $12.8bn in 2023 to $15.8bn in 2024. The sector is expected to reach a whopping value of $85.92bn by 2032, at a CAGR of 23.6% over the period.
As the sector continues to roar ahead, this led to the selection process for this year’s RegTech100 to be one of the most intense and sought after to date. A distinguished panel of analysts and industry experts examined a longlist of nearly 1,500 businesses, which was produced by RegTech Analyst. The panel looked to highlight the technological solutions as well as risk and compliance offerings that all financial institutions need to be aware of in 2025.
RegTech Analyst director of research Mariyan Dimitrov said, “As financial institutions get to grips with the challenges of staying compliant amid rapidly changing regulatory obligations, as well as the growing presence of AI, the importance of working with the right RegTech partner is becoming critical.”
“This year’s RegTech100 list highlights the leading movers-and-shakers in areas such as communications surveillance, onboarding, risk management and financial crime prevention that are working at the frontline of innovation, seeking to integrate latest AI technologies into their offerings to help financial institutions stay ahead of regulatory updates, improve customer experience and bring operational efficiencies.”
