Technological disruption has changed the dimension of finance around the world. Increasing threats of cyber-attacks has raised a serious concern for the banking and financial sector across the entire world. Supervisory mechanisms, compliances and regulations have become the key factors of consideration. The paper stresses out an importance of stringent financial regulations and regulatory compliance in the recent era of technological changes and innovations towards financial stability. This paper attempts to establish a strong theoretical overview of the promise and potential of the Regulatory Technologies (RegTech) for the wider financial ecosystem based on existing academic research and also publicly available practice-oriented insights from industry sources. The purpose of this paper is to develop an insight about the implications of RegTech for financial institutions and regulation. This study will help regulatory standard setters, bankers, investors, national and international financial institutions and other academicians to envisage the future of disruptive potential in financial technology.
