During today’s debates, the PFSA presented a bill amending the regulations on the activities of entities from the FinTech market. The proposed changes include, among others:
- introduction of a test license for entities from the FinTech regulatory sandbox,
- introduction of a register and regulation of crowdfunding platforms’ activity,
- liberalization of regulations defining the use of cloud solutions and banking outsourcing,
- introduction of a small electronic money institution,

We are undertaking actions to gain access to the content of the draft amending the act, but at the moment it is only of a working nature for the internal needs of the Committee.
