As PSD3 and DORA reshape Europe’s regulatory landscape, financial institutions are turning to RegTech automation to cut compliance costs, speed up AML workflows, and reduce regulatory risk. By 2025, over 68% of EU-based banks and fintechs will have implemented automated AML and KYC systems, a figure projected to rise to 87% by 2030. These deployments are delivering significant gains, reducing manual review times by 45–60% and boosting suspicious activity detection rates by 18–24% through AI-powered risk scoring.
The financial benefits are equally compelling. Automated RegTech stacks have helped institutions avoid an estimated €2.8–€3.4 billion in regulatory fines annually across the EU. Cross-border compliance efficiency has also improved, with multi-jurisdiction onboarding times shrinking from 21 days to under 8 days. Vendor ecosystems are expanding rapidly. The number of PSD3/DORA-compliant RegTech vendors is set to grow by 34% YoY through 2027, creating a more competitive procurement market for banks.
RegTech automation is no longer just a compliance necessity; it’s becoming a strategic ROI driver for financial institutions navigating increasingly complex European regulations.
