Lithuania’s central bank, Lietuvos Bankas, showcased a new regulatory technology (regtech) protoype this week that automates reporting procedures, cutting the administrative burden for financial market participants.
The prototype – developed by two IT companies, Columbus Lietuva and Peekdata – uses an application programming interface (API) that financial institutions can install. This automatically collects the required data from the institution and submits them in a standardised format to the supervisory authority.
Testing focused on anti-money laundering (AML) uses, but could automate reporting procedures for other financial market participants, according to Lietuvos Bankas. It also gives the regulator “an entirely new level of monitoring and analysis”, according to the press release.
