  • Or FinTech. Financial Technology

  • https://techcrunch.com/2017/04/24/an-obscure-regulatory-debate-has-put-the-entire-u-s-fintech-community-on-edge/

    The future of American fintech may hang in the balance of a pitched battle that has grown in intensity over the past four months. An obscure request for comments on regulatory standards, released by the Office of the Comptroller of the Currency (OCC) last March, has since evolved into a complex turf war between the states and Washington, DC.

    Caught in the middle is the entire online finance industry, raising the question of just what a “fintech” business really is. Though it hasn’t made many national headlines, this fight may determine the future of innovation, competition and survival in the fintech world.

  • Fintech is a term of art rather than legal designation, and it describes a confluence of technologies applied in financial markets to facilitate lending, payments, investments, and capital markets operations. Because fintech spans so many diverse areas of finance, summarizing the laws and regulations relevant to it comprises a far different enterprise than, say, writing a nutshell about tort law or even constitutional law. Complicating things further is that for fintech legal doctrines are still in flux, regulations are yet to be written, and indeed, the very question as to what “fintech” as well as “fintech law” are is far from settled. The terms are not defined in any federal statute or rule.
