Regulatory Sandbox
Definition
A controlled testing environment established by a financial regulator that allows fintech companies and other innovators to test new products, services, or business models with real customers under relaxed regulatory requirements for a limited period. The FCA launched the first regulatory sandbox in 2016, and the concept has since been adopted by over 50 jurisdictions globally.
