Overview
Regulation, policy, and compliance are crucial in shaping both sustainable fintech and traditional Fintech. The evolving fintech sector is increasingly focused on integrating sustainability practices, with regulatory frameworks emphasising alignment with environmental, social, and governance (ESG) principles. Sustainable fintech addresses global challenges through eco-friendly technologies and responsible business practices. Regulatory bodies play a key role in creating an environment that fosters innovation while ensuring consumer rights, data privacy, and financial stability. Compliance is not just a legal requirement but also essential for building trust in the fintech ecosystem.
Striking a balance between innovation and regulatory compliance poses a challenge for sustainable Fintech, highlighting the need for collaboration between regulators, policymakers, and Fintech innovators to establish frameworks promoting sustainability and ethical practices.
