Proposes new pillar "Cross-border interoperability" asking whether licensed firms can serve cross-border customers without re-authorisation.
This proposal introduces a new pillar titled "Cross-border interoperability" with the pillar question: "Can a licensed firm in one jurisdiction serve customers in another without re-authorising from scratch?" The proposal creates a new pillar rather than modifying an existing one, as no prior pillar name is specified. The pillar focuses on whether regulatory frameworks allow licensed firms to leverage existing authorisation across jurisdictional boundaries or whether they must undergo complete re-authorisation processes to serve customers in other jurisdictions.
Author’s reasonEvery pillar scores a country in isolation. The thing that most limits a fintech in a small market is whether anything it builds travels, and nothing in the index looks at that.
On the board and under discussion. Nothing in the methodology has changed.
