The Fintech entrepreneur’s guide to financial services, regulations and regulatory strategy. This book
Financial services is a huge field of interdependent actors that provides a fundamental service to the modern economy. To avoid unpleasant surprises it is crucial for every participant – Fintechs included – how they fit into the overall system.
Financial markets are big, interlinked and prone to market failure from time to time. For the financial system to serve the modern economy properly, enlightened Goldilocks regulation (not too much, not too little) is of fundamental importance.
Every Fintech player operating in the financial system will be subject to regulation. Many regard this as a necessary evil, but playing the regulatory game right bolsters a company’s success. Successfully navigating the regulatory djungle is a key strategic advantage.
"Having been a Fintech venture capital investor for many years now, I am keenly aware of the importance of regulation. Indeed, one of the main issues I encountered when assessing a potential investment is how well-versed the founding team is when it comes to regulatory matters. This will most assuredly be even more important going forward. As such, I am delighted to see Stefan, a Fintech expert I rely on often and who I hold in great respect, covering financial regulatory matters and how important they are for entrepreneurs in his new book. If you are serious about Fintech, please read this book."
The book comes in two parts. The first part contains the book’s narrative section. It first lays out a framework for Fintech companies to follow who have to include regulations into their strategic planning. It then goes on to provide more detailed overview over financial services regulations, both from a high level conceptual point of view, and how regulations are applied in practice. The first part finishes with three chapters that lay out the entire traditional financial services industry, and explains how its different parts are regulated.

If you are serious about Fintech, please read this book.
If you think of regulation as too hard, you’ll either end up in jail or fail for having never tried. In a world where tech is colliding with finance it’s great that someone’s finally written the missing manual!
Successfully engaging with regulation will differentiate winners from losers in Fintech, and this book offers a strong foundation for founders and investors alike.
Stefan lucidly and succinctly captures the essence of relevant regulation for Fintech firms. His book is a very helpful summary of regulatory and risk management priorities.
Great present for anyone involved in the financial sector regulation! Finally someone had the stamina to sift through financial services regulation and identify what’s relevant for fintech! The book is very well structured, has an excellent overview of who-is-who in the regulatory space and a handy index of regulatory terminology.
It’s an excellent book and it is very well-written. A great introduction into financial services and their regulations, not just suitable for Fintech entrepreneurs, but really for everyone starting out in finance. The reference section is especially helpful: it is like a big table of contents for the most important regulations.
The book is available as paperback and as a Kindle book and can be purchased at all major electronic and highstreet book sellers in the UK, the US, and most other countries in the world.
