The winners of A-Team Group’s inaugural RegTech Awards have been revealed, with winning solution and service providers named across categories from best data management solution for regulatory compliance to best innovative solutions for specific regulations, best reference data for regulatory compliance, best trade surveillance solution, best voice and mobile messaging solution, and the most innovative use of AI for compliance. As well as specific product and service categories, the awards covered the best alliance between solutions providers addressing regulatory compliance, and legal and consultancy regulatory services – see complete list of categories and winners below.
The awards were presented by Tim Lind, principal at RTech Advisors, at a well-attended ceremony after the close of A-Team Group’s RegTech Summit for Capital Markets in New York. The awards recognise both start-up and established RegTech solutions and service providers, with winners being nominated by vendors and users, and votes then being cast by members of A-Team’s Data Management Review and Intelligent Trading Technology communities.
Lind said: “It is a privilege to present the first A-Team Group RegTech awards and recognise some of the leading vendors and start-ups offering RegTech solutions designed to significantly improve the regulatory response and provide efficient and effective compliance. Never before has the industry been under such pressure to change its approach to compliance technology, and it is RegTech that will lead the way.”
