Andersen´s European Corporate and M&A practice has prepared the fifth edition of the European Corporate Insights’ magazine. In this publication, focused on the Banking and Finance Industry, we address the principal topic “SANDBOX in Europe”.

The FinTech ecosystem has recently introduced new players and innovative business models (applying new technologies) which involve new and different challenges for the financial system. Assessing such business models requires a deep understanding by the EU Regulators of the technologies used to deliver innovative services or products.

Therefore, a significant number of jurisdictions in Europe have already introduced various types of innovation facilitators, such as the regulatory sandboxes, to test innovative products, services, or business models.

The magazine also covers some highlights and relevant information about our Corporate and M&A practice in Europe and includes a piece of opinion that on this occasion is “Approaching a Single EU FinTech Market”.

This edition of European Corporate Insights, the magazine published by Andersen’s Corporate Legal Service Line in Europe, analyzes all these issues to be taken into account by Companies operating in different European countries.

We hope that you find this publication of interest and we remain at your entire disposal for any additional questions that may arise.
