Policy and regulatory services

Real-Time Payments Systems (RTPS) implementations are evolving fast and so is the regulatory landscape. Today, there is almost no economy that does not have a Digital payment system in one form or the other, and the regulation thereof (whether that is a Ministry of Finance or a Central Bank regulatory authority).

Regulators are mandated to create a level playing field for Financial Services Providers (FSPs). They can help safeguard and protect people, information, and infrastructure as they drive inclusion and development (Finance for all and Finance for Development). They create the enabling environment to connect the remaining population that is still excluded.

As specialized individuals who are passionate about inclusion for all, IDEA is an organization that houses a team of individuals who understands the regulatory environment for Digital Finance and can convene stakeholders to discuss regulatory issues and spur the creation of a conducive regulatory environment for digital payments products and services.
