Course Description

Being a successful FinTech firm requires more than just great technology; it also requires an understanding of the laws and regulations applicable to your business. This course will provide you with that understanding. You will learn about the critical legal, regulatory, and policy issues associated with cryptocurrencies, initial coin offerings, online lending, new payments and wealth management technologies, and financial account aggregators. In addition, you will learn how regulatory agencies in the U.S. are continually adjusting to the emergence of new financial technologies and how one specific agency has proposed a path for FinTech firms to become regulated banks. You will also learn the basics of how banks are regulated in the U.S.If you are unfamiliar with how these new financial technologies work, fear not. We will begin each new course section with a high-level overview of the underlying technology. While the course is principally focused on the U.S. FinTech industry, we cannot possibly cover every relevant legal and regulatory issue. Therefore, this course should not be construed as legal advice. Rather, the goal of the course is to familiarize you with the key legal and regulatory challenges FinTech firms in various sectors face, as well as the critical policy debates that are occurring in Washington D.C. and state capitals across the country.

Excellent course, learned a lot that I needed to for the nature of my current role as a product manager for Digital Payments.

By Maria G on 18-Sep-19

It's a very complete view of the FinTech environment. The prof makes a great summary of all the ideas, which is very difficult.

Awesome Introduction to American Fintech and Regulations Driving their Innovations

By Sriram V on 10-Sep-19

Comprehensive coverage of various fin-tech products and the legal aspects of the same. Although, mostly focused towards US regulations, the course touches upon the broad spectrum within the geography. Would recommend it for any one wanting to work in Fin-tech space.

By Olivia T on 8-Sep-19

Really well written and provided a great overview/scope on FinTech Law and Policy. I do wish that it covered a little more ground on International Laws, but understandably, this is geared towards US FinTech Law and Policy. Great starter and review course on FinTech Law and Policy.

Understand more Fintech Law and Policy

By Juan L t C on 14-Aug-19

Great, but could include information from several countries, concentrated in us only, but great job

By Daniel K on 13-Aug-19

Great course! The lectures were very understandable and thorough. I would, however, suggest something akin to a "Basics of Finance" at the beginning that covers basic transactions (e.g., securities, commodities) and the financial advising pieces. I think this would help bring the lecture to the next level.

By Paolo F on 9-Aug-19

Very interesting and useful course. It would be perfect if some ideas were also provided on international regulatory developments.

By DAVI J D S D S on 5-Aug-19

Bom curso para introdução nos aspectos regulatórios.

By Sourav c P on 28-Jul-19

The course could have provided more reading materials

By Timothy H on 26-Jul-19

The course is informative and quite easy to follow. I recommend taking it. However, I feel that may need needs some updates. Some words in the subtitles don't reflect what the speaker says presenting a different, misleading context.
