GFIN Mission
The GFIN was created to provide a more efficient way for innovative firms to interact with regulators, helping them navigate between countries as they look to scale and test new ideas.
The GFIN is a collaborative knowledge and policy sharing network aimed at advancing effective regulatory responses to the use of emerging and more traditional technologies in financial services, by sharing experiences, working jointly on emerging issues and facilitating responsible cross-border experimentation of new ideas.
GFIN is committed to advancing financial integrity, consumer well-being and protection, financial inclusion, and financial stability through innovation in financial services. We recognise that these goals are better achieved through collaboration. Therefore, the GFIN has committed to expanding its objectives from the original focus of facilitating responsible cross-border experimentation of innovative ideas to now include various other forms of regulatory collaboration.
Importantly, we see the GFIN as an open initiative and continue to welcome interest from regulators and international organisations with objectives that align with those of the GFIN.
