Regulatory Sandboxes

A regulatory sandbox is a controlled environment set up by regulators that allows businesses, especially fintech startups, to test new products, services, or business models with real customers under supervised conditions. It provides a temporary safe space where companies can innovate without immediately facing all the usual regulations, helping regulators understand emerging technologies and risks. This approach encourages innovation, reduces barriers for new entrants, and ensures that new financial solutions can be safely integrated into the market while protecting consumers.
