Digital Finance Advisory Panel
The Digital Finance Advisory Panel (DFAP) was established in 2015 to help inform ASIC’s fintech and regtech approach and to maintain engagement with the sector. Members of DFAP are drawn from a cross-section of the fintech and regtech communities, academia and industry associations.
The DFAP also includes active observers from government and regulatory agencies to help facilitate dialogue between industry and the public sector. The establishment of the DFAP has fostered a network of domestic departments and agencies dealing with innovative businesses, promoting a coordinated approach to financial innovation and regtech. The DFAP helps inform the focus of ASIC’s engagement with the fintech and regtech sectors.
ASIC meets with the DFAP quarterly to discuss local and global developments, including opportunities and risks, in the fintech and regtech industry.
