A directory of Africa focused RegTech Solutions 

Harnessing the power of big data, artificial intelligence and even blockchain, the regtech sector works to reduce financial risk, increase regulatory compliance and stamp out laundering and fraud — all of which contribute to an estimated $2 trillion yearly loss for the global economy.

Recognizing the power of RegTech in creating transformative solutions that support and scale quality financial services, RegTech Africa is developing a directory for RegTech companies and solutions providers in Africa to showcase the solutions, services and technologies they are offering. 

The directory will provide details of where the RegTech companies are located, their size, category (Regulatory Reporting, Risk Management, Identity Management & Control, Compliance, Transaction Monitoring, etc), when they were founded as well as which industry they are targeting in particular.
