Our Vision
We seek a world in which data and technology are used responsibly to advance more inclusive, fair, and equitable societies.
Our Mission
FinRegLab is a driving force in advancing the safe and responsible use of data and technology for a more inclusive, fair, and equitable financial system. We fill knowledge gaps and facilitate dialogue to evolve public policy and market practices.
Our Process and the FinRegLab Model
FinRegLab approaches our work through collective engagement and empirical facts using the FinRegLab model. We share updates and findings with financial services executives and policymakers at multiple stages to ensure that our research and engagement prioritizes high-value topics and is disseminated to key audiences in a timely way. We also elevate the public dialogue by organizing symposiums and convenings and sharing our work with the community at large.
Ground-breaking empirical research
We leverage our technical capacity and legal acumen to undertake experiments that produce actionable insights for industry stakeholders, advocates, and policymakers. For the financial sector and innovators, we serve as trusted intermediaries to explore and evaluate specific applications of technology and data and to consider implications for markets and public policy.
Cross-sector market intelligence
Building on our relationships with both fintechs and traditional financial institutions across different parts of the industry, we compile market intelligence and emerging trends in data, technology, and financial services. This intelligence is critical to identifying best practices and spotting emerging policy issues.
Dialogue with diverse stakeholders
In addition to working with industry, academics, and advocates through standing advisory bodies and working groups, we invite regulators to participate as observers and engage with us through bilateral conversations. This structure provides a safe space for participants to surface and share perspectives about critical market, policy, and ethical questions.
Our Research
Our research priorities are informed through engagement with policymakers and with input from industry, academia, and advocate groups. Through our empirical work, market monitoring, and convening activities, we produce timely reports that provide fact-based insights and legal and policy analysis to inform the financial sector.
