    #5: Inside BNPL: Regulatory treatment in the EU and the UK

    In recent years, boosted by the changing consumer habits in the wake of the COVID-19 pandemic, the e-commerce sector has experienced an exponential growth. This new environment has created a particularly fertile breeding ground for the rapid emergence of a new consumer financing model that is getting ever more popular, the so-called Buy-Now-Pay-Later (BNPL). By providing customers with the flexibility, to pay for goods purchased online in several interest-free instalments, BNPL has quickly become one of the fastest growing payment methods in many countries around the world. In the coming years, the BNPL market is expected to continue its growth fuelled by the expected increase in the number of customers and transaction volumes as well as the expansion into new markets of the leading BNPL firms. But how is BNPL regulated in the EU and the UK, what are some key developments that entities active in this sector shall be aware of and what lies ahead for this rapidly growing sub-sector of the fintech industry? Find out in our next episode, in which our experts Mila Pencheva (Senior Associate, Financial Services Regulatory, London) and Miroslav Đurić LL.M. (Senior Associate, Financial Services Regulatory, Frankfurt) discuss key regulatory aspects of BNPL from the EU and the UK perspective.

    #4: AI in Financial Services: The way ahead

    End of 2022, the rapid emergence of generative artificial intelligence (AI) based systems, has sent the shockwaves around the world. Potential benefits that the use of this technology could bring to the companies in various industries have started catching eyeballs of the members of the c-suite of top global companies that have slowly but surely moved up the AI to the top of their agenda. The financial services industry, that has been increasingly experimenting with the use of the automated systems for the provision of various financial services for the better part of the last decade, did not stay immune to this new hype either. But what are some main use cases for the deployment of AI in the financial services space, what benefits can the use of this technology bring for financial institutions and what are some key regulatory considerations that they need to make in this process? Find out in this episode of our Podcast Series, in which Dr. Verena Ritter-Döring (Partner, Frankfurt) discusses with Fritz-Ulli Pieper (Salary Partner, Düsseldorf) and Miroslav Đurić LL.M. (Senior Associate, Frankfurt) this topic in more detail. Enjoy!“

    #3: 2024 FinTech Outlook Part 2: Key regulatory developments

    In 2024, we are about to witness finalization of some key pieces of EU financial regulation that will in many ways reshape the regulatory landscape in the EU. By delivering on the EU Commission’s promises laid out in the Digital Finance Strategy and the Retail Payments Strategy published in September 2020, the EU lawmakers are expected to finalise a number of important legislative proposals. As these proposals move closer to their final phase, stakeholders across the financial services industry and the fintech ecosystem are closely monitoring their progress, recognizing the potential impact on business operations, market dynamics, and regulatory compliance. What can we expect in 2024 when it comes to the Markets in Crypto-Assets (MiCA) Regulation, Digital Operational Resilience Act (DORA), PSD3/PSR and the newly proposed EU framework on open finance? Find out in our second episode of 2024 FinTech Outlook series, in which our experts, Dr. Verena Ritter-Döring (Partner, Frankfurt) and Miroslav Đurić LL.M. (Associate, Frankfurt) have discussed key regulatory topics that will be of importance for the fintech industry this year.
