Article from July 2023.
Following two pilots, the FCA's Digital Sandbox will be made available permanently from next month, opening up the platform to a broader range of innovative businesses, start-ups and data providers.
The Digital Sandbox is a testing environment that enables the regulator to support firms at the early stage of product development by enabling experimentation through proof of concepts.
Until now, the platform has only been available temporarily to those participating in pilots and TechSprints.
More than half of the previous SME participants in the pilots and TechSprints made positive developments including launching new products, securing funding and partnerships, or receiving industry awards or recognitions.
From 1st August 2023, firms will be able to apply for the permanent Digital Sandbox under the following themes: banking, investment, lending, payments, insurance, pension, wholesale buy-side, wholesale sell-side, and cross-sectors.
