We want to enable firms to roll out their innovative financial products, services or business models without undue obstacles. Our regulatory sandbox for innovations is available to all firms wanting to launch an innovative financial concept. This applies both to existing and licensed firms and to newcomers.
The regulatory sandbox is open to all innovations that contribute positively to a stable financial sector, efficiently operating financial markets and sustainable financial well-being of consumers and investors.
By focusing more on what rules are actually trying to achieve, we can create greater scope to remove unnecessary supervision barriers.
Our report entitled More room for innovation in the financial sector provides more detailed information on the regulatory sandbox. You can also contact the InnovationHub if you have questions about the regulatory sandbox.
