Crowdfunding – Shifting Regulatory Regime And Opportunities For Jersey

Crowdfunding is gaining interest in the FinTech sector as platforms mature and capture business from conventional providers of capital.

Ogier’s Alex Curry will look at crowdfunding, the shifting regulatory regime in the UK and the opportunities for Jersey at a FinTech event in Jersey this evening.

He said: “Crowd-funding - where individuals offer equity investment or cash loans to businesses via online platforms – is a relatively “new world” compared to the lending offered by the established banks but it remains a hot topic of discussion.

“Regulation, which is being phased in and continually reviewed, is adding legitimacy to the sector. There are still health warnings around getting involved but it’s an area that is likely to continue to grow.
