Reykjavik, Iceland -- (SBWIRE) -- 02/10/2023 -- A new report from the US Treasury has identified just how much more oversight is required in the fintech sector to help ensure AML Compliance. The report - "Assessing Impacts of New Entrant Non-Bank Firms on Competition in Consumer Finance Markets" - highlights how the fintech market is creating a wealth of new opportunities and advantages for consumers but also many loopholes in security. Consumer protection and market integrity, in particular, are at risk from the practices that currently exist in the fintech sector. In order to help protect consumers and ensure sustainable competition, the Treasury report has identified that increased oversight of consumer financial activities of non-banks is going to be vital for AML Compliance going forwards.
The detail of the report looks at the gaps in AML Compliance risk management and how these could be addressed. It proposes a number of ways to ensure fair, transparent and competitive markets including a clear and consistently applied framework for bank-fintech relationships, enhancing supervision of lending relationships to ensure compliance with consumer protection as well as investment in, and support for, innovation by the US regulator. The report is one of a series that has been created to assess competition in a range of different areas of the US economy. It has been generated under President Biden's July 2021 Executive Order, "Promoting Competition in the American Economy" and is designed to identify how authorities and regulators can play a role in fair and responsible competition that benefits consumers and their financial wellbeing.
AML Compliance is a vital component in protecting consumers, as well as the fabric of society which can be undermined by the exploitative nature of money laundering. This is a crime that drives other crimes so it's vital for countries like the US to set the precedent when it comes to taking action against it.
