Abstract
FinTech has changed the way financial services are produced and delivered.1 As the Digital Finance Strategy for the EU put it: the future of finance is digital. Digital finance has also helped people and businesses tackle the unprecedented challenges caused by the COVID-19 pandemic. We increasingly rely on digital and remote technologies. The role of regulation is to make sure that these technologies are used in a responsible way.2 Robo-advising is one of the innovations relating to FinTech. This article addresses central challenges and risks in robo-advising, and the regulatory means to tackle them. When these challenges are resolved, robo-advising can provide customers with an easy-to-use, cost-effective and flexible service.

期刊介绍:
The mission of the European Business Law Review is to provide a forum for analysis and discussion of business law, including European Union law and the laws of the Member States and other European countries, as well as legal frameworks and issues in international and comparative contexts. The Review moves freely over the boundaries that divide the law, and covers business law, broadly defined, in public or private law, domestic, European or international law. Our topics of interest include commercial, financial, corporate, private and regulatory laws with a broadly business dimension. The Review offers current, authoritative scholarship on a wide range of issues and developments, featuring contributors providing an international as well as a European perspective. The Review is an invaluable source of current scholarship, information, practical analysis, and expert guidance for all practising lawyers, advisers, and scholars dealing with European business law on a regular basis. The Review has over 25 years established the highest scholarly standards. It distinguishes itself as open-minded, embracing interests that appeal to the scholarly, practitioner and policy-making spheres. It practices strict routines of peer review. The Review imposes no word limit on submissions, subject to the appropriateness of the word length to the subject under discussion.
