Introduction

Attitude of the country towards RegTech-services

The climate in Switzerland is positive towards RegTech services and according to a recent overview of Swisscom, a number of Start-ups in the field of RegTech (enterprise risk management, investment risk management, AML/KYC, authentication) are active in Switzerland.
