FCA announce launch of permanent digital sandbox

The Digital Sandbox is a testing environment that enables the FCA to support firms at the early stage of product development by enabling experimentation through proof of concepts. The service was only available temporarily to selected participants. Following two successful pilots, the FCA has now announced a permanent Digital Sandbox. Participants will have access to high-quality datasets and Application Programme Interfaces (APIs), robust data security protections, a collaborative platform and an observation deck. Firms can apply to join from 1st August.
