Frequently asked questions

Q

Which regulatory agencies does this cover for fintech companies?

A

CaseMark monitors and analyzes developments from all major fintech regulators including the CFPB, SEC, CFTC, FinCEN, OCC, Federal Reserve, and relevant state banking and financial services regulators. The summaries cover regulations affecting mobile banking, cryptocurrency, digital payments, lending platforms, and money transmission across both federal and state jurisdictions.

Q

How current are the regulatory summaries?

A

The analysis focuses on developments from the past 90 days, prioritizing the most recent Federal Register notices, agency press releases, official guidance documents, and enforcement actions. This ensures compliance teams stay current with emerging requirements and can identify deadlines requiring immediate attention versus future planning.

Q

Can this help distinguish between different types of fintech regulations?

A

Yes, the summaries clearly differentiate requirements affecting different fintech business models, such as cryptocurrency exchanges versus mobile payment providers versus peer-to-peer lending platforms. Each regulatory development is analyzed for its specific impact on different fintech operations, helping you focus on what's relevant to your business.

Q

How does this handle conflicting state and federal regulations?

A

The analysis explicitly addresses jurisdictional variations, highlighting where state-level money transmitter laws, lending regulations, or cryptocurrency frameworks diverge from federal approaches. You'll receive clear guidance on which jurisdictions are affected and how different regulatory regimes interact or potentially conflict, enabling coordinated compliance strategies.

Q

What if regulatory requirements are unclear or ambiguous?

A

CaseMark identifies areas where regulatory interpretation remains unclear or where agencies have not provided definitive guidance. Rather than overstating certainty, the summaries acknowledge ambiguities and highlight compliance challenges, allowing your team to seek clarification or take a risk-based approach where appropriate.
