Starling, a leading RegTech company, was selected to be one of only a dozen startups featured at the “Innovation Hub” during the Institute of International Finance (IIF) Annual Meeting on October 7-8, 2016 in Washington, DC.
With 1500+ participants from over 75 countries, representing the leading figures in global finance, the 2016 IIF Annual Membership Meeting featured over 150 speakers and 50 panels on topics ranging from Regulatory Challenges, Innovation & Fintech, and The Future of Finance, among others. The Innovation Hub provided a showcase of technologies and concepts with the potential to transform financial services including advanced data science, the blockchain, and regtech.
Starling founder and CEO, Stephen Scott, observed, “In the years since the Financial Crisis, the world’s largest banks have paid fines for misconduct in excess of $275 billion, in the aggregate. Conduct risk now represents an existential threat to banks and other financial institutions, and the market is demanding new approaches to mitigating such risk.”
“Starling’s innovative RegTech solutions use predictive analytics and machine learning to help firms address the increasing regulatory focus on conduct risk with greater success and efficiency, said Starling co-founder and COO Jeff Kupfer. “We are pleased that the IIF chose to highlight the data-driven, applied behavioral science tools we are bringing to the financial services market.”
