Fintech, regtech, suptech and central bank decision making

Rapid advances in financial technology are reshaping finance, driving an evolution towards a cashless society and spurring new digital forms of money. The rise of digitalisation, including central bank digital currency (CBDC) and related payment systems enhancements, has aided the move to new forms of regulatory technology (regtech) and supervisory technology (suptech).

Digital payments volumes have soared since the onset of the Covid-19 pandemic, accelerating the trend towards digital payments. This was underscored in a keynote speech by Benoît Coueré, head of the Bank for International Settlements Innovation Hub (BISIH), in August 2020 where he noted that indeed, “We are in the middle of a revolution in payments” (Coueré, 2020).

Given the rise of the digital payments, it is increasingly important that we look to develop resilient and accessible central bank-operated payment infrastructures that can withstand a large range of shocks, including pandemics and cyber attacks (Coueré, 2020). This is especially important given that an expanded use of digital payments could fuel an increase in digital lending as companies accumulate consumer data and enhance credit analytics.
