Governments apply fintech to improve their financial infrastructure, reduce financial crime, and collect taxes. Notable examples include Estonia, which has used digital ID and contracts for two decades. Many countries have developed faster payments solutions and secure gateways for market participants to access. Blockchain-based analytics for crypto asset investigations, risks, and security is growing quickly.
CENTROlink is a payment system developed and operated by Lietuvos Bankas. PSPs in Lithuania can offer their clients SEPA credit transfers, direct debits, and instant payments through a single integration. Additional services include proxy lookup, verification of payee and SEPA request to pay. CENTROlink simplifies technology, funds safeguarding, and compliance for PSPs, while allowing them to leverage government economies of scale. FinTech regulation is enhaced by visibility on liquidity and other systemic risks in real-time.
Financial Services are undergoing digital transformation, making it essential for financial centres to have access to reliable technology providers. Agility is essential as technologies such as AI and Crypto Assets disrupt traditional finance and, by extension, employment and fintech investment. FinTech can also boost financial system resilience by providing stakeholders with real-time information on performance, risk and crime.
Central bank digital currency (CBDC) is digital money issued by central banks as an alternative to physical money. Use cases for CBDC include as a payment medium, stable investment asset, and collateral for liabilities. CBDC could ultimately become a permitted asset for reserve calculations. Having a public counterparty may reduce counterparty or systemic risk and enable a state guarantee that brings CBDCs within the mandate of institutional investors. Research is ongoing about the effective use of Blockchain and data privacy concerns.
