Scott, whose company Outlier Solutions works with digital currency and blockchain startups on anti-money laundering (AML) and regulatory compliance, told Bitcoin Magazine : + +"The complexity of regulatory requirements has been increasing for over a decade now. In step with this, compliance costs have been continuously increasing over the same period ... but this is hurting more than just firms' bottom lines." + +Scott noted that, for most businesses, it is becoming impossible to conduct effective transaction monitoring or to have any real sense of the data without automation. "We often hear people say that they 'know their clients' - this is a common refrain in every regulated business, but regulators aren't buying it. Unless you can prove it, you're out of luck ... Fortunately, most automated tools have excellent audit trails." + +Coinfirm is most recognized for its Blockchain AML and Compliance platform, which has been used by major banks and digital currencies like Dash. Its platform uses proprietary algorithms and big data analytics to increase efficiency, reduce costs and streamline compliance to near automation. + +It is also blockchain agnostic, meaning that it is technically adoptable for any type of blockchain whether public like Bitcoin or Dash, or private such as the blockchain solutions many large companies and institutions are developing. + +Coinfirm is also promoting its blockchain solution for the registration and verification of authenticity of any type of document, record or file. Their Document Verification Platform is currently bringing in traditional players to use public blockchains like Bitcoin or Dash but in a way that naturally fits their already existing needs and processes. + +The challenge that RegTech encounters is obtaining accurate and timely data from a myriad of legacy systems and interpreting this data appropriately. + +Scott isn't concerned about the growth of automated RegTech: + +"I'm occasionally asked if I am at all concerned about the cannibalization of these industries by automation, but I think that this is an absurd question. I hope that large swaths of the industry will be automated, freeing up humans to add real value rather than performing repetitive compliance tasks. Ultimately, automation will lead to happier compliance geeks because we will be able to focus on solving novel problems." + + diff --git a/assets/img/blog/RegFinTech.width-800.jpg b/assets/img/blog/RegFinTech.width-800.jpg new file mode 100644 index 0000000..ef733e5 Binary files /dev/null and b/assets/img/blog/RegFinTech.width-800.jpg differ diff --git a/assets/img/exchanges/bithumb_logo.png b/assets/img/exchanges/bithumb_logo.png new file mode 100644 index 0000000..c534915 Binary files /dev/null and b/assets/img/exchanges/bithumb_logo.png differ diff --git a/assets/img/merchants/Centerless.jpg b/assets/img/merchants/Centerless.jpg new file mode 100644 index 0000000..0808dd5 Binary files /dev/null and b/assets/img/merchants/Centerless.jpg differ diff --git a/assets/img/merchants/muzzle.jpg b/assets/img/merchants/muzzle.jpg new file mode 100644 index 0000000..2863f9f Binary files /dev/null and b/assets/img/merchants/muzzle.jpg differ diff --git a/assets/img/merchants/paart.jpg b/assets/img/merchants/paart.jpg new file mode 100644 index 0000000..37556b9 Binary files /dev/null and b/assets/img/merchants/paart.jpg differ diff --git a/merchants/index.html b/merchants/index.html index 6574069..2f12e4b 100644 --- a/merchants/index.html +++ b/merchants/index.html @@ -8,32 +8,6 @@ description: pages.merchants.description
