The Danish RegTech organisation uses Artificial Intelligence (AI) techniques to help financial institutions to categorise and validate regulatory compatibility for a range of financial products and services on a national and cross border basis. Its product, PASS, is the world’s first SaaS solution to instantly and globally validate whether a financial institution can onboard a client from any part of the world using rule based algorithmic AI to categorise clients, conduct suitability and appropriateness testing and cross-border clearances on a per product, per service, per country basis.

Participation in the FCA Sandbox – which provides firms with an opportunity to test innovative products, services and business models – will enable muinmos to further validate and expand its regulatory data coverage showcasing in the PASS rules engine. muinmos believes this will lead to market-wide realisation that financial institutions can embrace new technologies such as AI to the highest standards of regulatory compliance.
