Advances in financial technology are reshaping banking, commerce, and capital markets, creating new ways to process payments, extend credit, trade assets, and manage data. As institutions and technology providers adopt these systems, they face complex questions about how transactions are recorded, how customer information is protected, and how existing regulations apply to new products and business models.
