- 21. 21 • The regulatory sandbox allows businesses to test innovative products, services, business models and delivery mechanisms in the real market, with real consumers. • The sandbox is a supervised space, open to both authorized and unauthorized firms, that provides firms with: ▫ reduced time-to-market at potentially lower cost ▫ appropriate consumer protection safeguards built in to new products and services ▫ better access to finance • https://www.fca.org.uk/firms/regulatory-sandbox Regulatory Sandboxes
- 22. 22 Who the sandbox is for: • Businesses seeking authorization ▫ The sandbox may be useful for firms that need to become authorised before testing their innovation in a live environment. • Authorized businesses ▫ The sandbox may be useful for authorized firms looking for clarity about rules before testing an idea that doesn’t easily fit into the existing regulatory framework. • Technology businesses supporting financial services firms ▫ Technology businesses that want to provide services to our regulated firms (eg: through outsourcing agreements) can also apply for the sandbox if they need clarity about rules before testing.
