FNA

FNA is a deep technology company and a leader in Supervisory Technology (Suptech) and Regulatory Technology (Regtech). FNA’s mission is to make the financial system safer and more efficient - and its growing portfolio of clients includes the world’s largest central banks, financial authorities, infrastructures and institutions across the Americas, Europe, Africa and Asia. As of 2020, FNA is able to claim client partnerships in the majority of G20 jurisdictions.

After the financial crisis of 2007-2008, regulators and supervisors recognized the interconnected nature of financial systems and now have access to large amounts of granular, structured and unstructured data. FNA’s technology operationalizes this data by utilizing over 300 network analytics, simulation, and machine learning algorithms that are tailored to the regulatory and financial services community. Suptech and Regtech applications visualize the results via clear dashboards that help users understand large datasets, identify risks and enable proactive real-time monitoring. This enables financial authorities to quickly identify problems and anomalies that could result in systemic instability.

FNA’s Suptech and Regtech solutions have been repeatedly recognised through a series of industry awards and prizes. These include FNA’s winning of the inaugural G20 TechSprint in the ‘Dynamic Information sharing for Supervisors and Regulators in Response to Crises’ category - hosted by the Bank for International Settlements Global Innovation Hub and the Saudi G20 Presidency - as well as the award for the Best Data Data Analytics Partner at Central Banking Publications’ annual FinTech & RegTech Global Awards; all achieved in 2020.
