Regulatory Sandbox Overview

The sandbox involves several stages including preliminary screening, application assessment, test design formulation, and evaluation. It provides a controlled environment for live testing of financial products or services, allowing for regulatory relaxations to facilitate testing. This approach helps regulators, financial service providers, and customers assess the benefits and challenges of new innovations while managing associated risks.

Target Applicants

The sandbox targets fintechs, banks, and firms that support or partner with financial services businesses. Each cohort is limited in size and duration, ensuring a focused and manageable testing process.
