Our team is pleased to announce an important publication on fintech innovation and regulation in the United States. Edited by Andrew Lorentz and Thomas Kost—and drawing on contributions from many of their DWT colleagues—the publication provides an overview of the major regulatory frameworks that apply to fintech entities operating in the United States and describes recent efforts by state and federal regulators to keep pace with accelerating innovations in financial services, largely driven by those fintech entities.
In the United States, fintech entities and their offerings are subject to a broad constellation of substantive laws and financial services regulatory agencies at both the state and federal levels. By providing a clear guide to the regulatory landscape for fintech —including the key agencies, applicable product and licensing restrictions, data and privacy regimes, and state and federal unfair practices law—our publication is a valuable resource for non-U.S. fintech entities interested in entering the U.S. market, emerging U.S. fintech entities evaluating their deployment options, and established financial institutions that need a compass to help them navigate the evolving fintech ecosystem.

The publication forms the U.S. chapter of the recently published Global Legal Insights - FinTech 2022, 4th Ed. and draws on the expertise of numerous members of DWT's integrated, cross-functional fintech team of financial services, technology, privacy, enforcement, litigation, and corporate lawyers. Comprising seasoned lawyers who represent traditional financial institutions and fintech firms, as well as attorneys who formerly worked as regulators, DWT's fintech team is uniquely positioned to help our clients identify and navigate the competitive, regulatory, technological, and enforcement trends affecting financial services innovation and disruption in the United States.
