Understanding Regulatory Compliance

The role of regulatory compliance is essential in overseeing how financial services design products and services that prioritize good customer outcomes while mitigating risks. This involves ensuring that customers have access to vital information throughout their journey, from initial interest in a product to its purchase and beyond. Examples include safeguarding customer funds by separating them from the institution's own funds and implementing processes for issues like whistleblowing and conflicts of interest. By maintaining focus on compliance, Revolut aims to protect both its customers and the integrity of its operations across various territories.
