More firms looking to replicate FCA sandbox successes

Euromoney speaks to some of the FX-focused companies in the third cohort of the Financial Conduct Authority’s (FCA) regulatory sandbox hoping to match the progress achieved by many of their predecessors.

The regulator revealed that one in three of the first test group significantly pivoted their business model ahead of launch in the wider market and that more than 40% received investment during or after their sandbox tests.
