After six years of intensive development, REGTECH DATAHUB is launching the REGSEARCH platform. With a fully transparent “Spotify-style” business model and a user-friendly interface, the tool gives financial institutions “the power to comply” and makes it easy to navigate complex transaction reporting.
Financial institutions no longer need to search in the dark when facing rejections or missing critical data points in their transaction reporting. Today, REGTECH DATAHUB officially launched its new web-based search tool, REGSEARCH. The tool was created to establish a more open space for reference data, a market currently dominated by huge players offering heavy, inflexible packaged services.
A Visual Overview of Millions of Instruments
REGSEARCH gathers data from multiple public sources – including ESMA and the ANNA DSB – and creates a single valid “golden source”. This database covers 180 million derivatives, 125 million securities, and 3.2 million companies. Users can look up individual OTC derivatives directly via ISIN or UPI, or they can use dynamic parameters to find precise data for instruments like Euro-Dollar forwards.
“We needed to build an efficient lookup and comparison tool that also shows what the authorities think about a specific instrument,” explains Lars Christiansen, CEO of REGTECH DATAHUB.
The tool documents reporting for regulations like MiFID and EMIR and offers graphical solutions to help explain complex data, such as showing exactly why a CFI code is constructed the way it is.
Rooted in 15 Years of Industry Experience
The idea for REGSEARCH stems from a constant challenge in the industry regarding reference data at the individual instrument level. REGTECH DATAHUB was founded in 2020 as a spin-off from the financial services consultancy Capital Market Partners. Based on 15 years of consulting experience with regulations such as MiFID I, MiFID II, EMIR, and SFTR, it became clear to Lars Christiansen and his team that they needed to help digitize the industry.
A “Spotify-Model” for the industry
To challenge the market structure, the company has chosen a transparent “Spotify-style” business model. Companies pay a flat fee of 1,000 euros per month per legal entity. For that amount, the firm can set up as many internal users as they want, allowing colleagues to look things up directly at their desks rather than sharing a single terminal in the department. Furthermore, REGTECH DATAHUB imposes no restrictions on the end-users’ own internal application of the data.
Back-Reporting and Expert Support
The cloud-based platform, accessible via API or the REGSEARCH website, also assists with historical data.
REGSEARCH includes a user-friendly interface showing exactly when an instrument was reportable over the past five years, significantly easing the burden of back-reporting. If clients encounter complex regulatory questions, a support function staffed by industry experts is ready to help.
To mark the launch, REGTECH DATAHUB is offering a free, no-strings-attached one-month trial of REGSEARCH. The company simply asks for feedback from professionals working daily with these regulations.
