SEI Exploring Blockchain with Coinfirm in Their New Regtech Incubator “Codify”
London, U.K. (PRWEB) April 25, 2017 -- As regulations become more complex along with the disruption of Fintech, the urgency for effective Regtech grows and this is reflected in the massive interest in the field over the past year. Also a tech solution provider in the financial market, SEI (NASDAQ: SEIC) is taking a strong role in the fast growing sector to help financial firms' best address the increasingly complicated regulatory landscape. SEI’s Codify incubator has brought in three leading Regtech startups for its launch.
