White Paper
Regulatory Technology and Modern Banking: A 2024 Outlook
The THL RegTech Whitepaper (March 2024) highlights how banks face record fraud losses, rising compliance costs, and expanding regulatory scrutiny. In 2023, $3.1 trillion in illicit funds moved through the system, with FIs losing $485.6B and U.S. adults $10B to fraud. Compliance costs reached $61B annually in the U.S. and Canada. Regulators are tightening oversight, pushing FIs toward RegTech solutions that automate reporting, monitor transactions in real time, and enhance fraud detection with AI and analytics. Despite low maturity, demand is growing, with firms urged to adopt integrated, interoperable platforms instead of fragmented “Swiss cheese” defenses. Gen AI poses risks but also opportunities for advanced prevention. THL projects RegTech will become a core element of risk-compliance
