COMPARATIVE ANALYSIS OF FINANCIAL TECHNOLOGY REGULATION SYSTEMS: FOREIGN AND DOMESTIC EXPERIENCE

Abstract

In the article, based on the analysis of scientific sources, a comparative analysis of financial market regulation systems in different countries of the world is made. The level of development of regulatory systems in the UK, France, USA, India and Ukraine is characterized. The main institutions that regulate and supervise in the countries of the world are listed. The basic principles of their functioning are presented. It also analyzes the regulatory and provisions governing the activities of fintech companies. It is determined that a particular problem for the development of the financial technology market is the lack of a single regulatory approach to different types of Fintech companies and solutions. This is evidenced by the lack of unified regulatory bodies in the field of fintech, as well as adequate regulatory support both in Ukraine and in foreign countries. At the moment, in most countries of the world, fintech companies are subject to the laws that were adopted in the times of existence of only classical financial institutions, and therefore do not take into account the specifics of individual fintech businesses, and their peculiarities of cooperation with banking and non-banking financial institutions, with intermediaries of the securities market. It is determined that, in accordance with the potential of the financial technology market development and the benefits of its growth, programs for the support and development of the financial market through the introduction of special commissions, accelerator funds and simplified regulation systems in the form of sandbox fintech are being implemented in all analyzed countries. It is determined that the driver of the growth of fintech solutions in the financial services market was the active dissemination of open APIs in the activities of financial institutions, which provide for voluntary exchange of information about bank customers with fintech companies. It is substantiated that an important component of increasing confidence in the financial technology market is ensuring the storage and protection of personal data of fintech companies’ clients.
