Corporations (FinTech Sandbox Australian Financial Services Licence Exemption) Regulations 2020

This instrument is the Corporations (FinTech Sandbox Australian Financial Services Licence Exemption) Regulations 2020.

This instrument is made under the Corporations Act 2001.

A person may use an exemption from the licensing requirements in Part 7.6 of the Act to test eligible financial services.

The exemption will only become available if:

(a) the person is an eligible person; and

(b) the person lodges a valid notification and satisfies certain requirements (see Part 4).

The exemption will also not become available if:

(a) ASIC is not satisfied that it will result, or be likely to result, in a net benefit to the public; or

(b) ASIC is not satisfied that the financial service is new, or is a new adaptation or improvement of another financial service; or

The exemption can become available at different times for different eligible financial services. However, the exemption cannot become available a second time to test the same kind of financial service for the same kind of financial product.

Each exemption lasts up to 24 months.

Each exemption is subject to conditions that limit:

(a) the kinds of financial services that can be provided to wholesale clients; and

(b) the kinds of financial services that can be provided to retail clients; and

(c) the exposure of the person’s clients to the financial services, including the total investment activity under the exemptions and any exemptions under the National Consumer Credit Protection (FinTech Sandbox Australian Credit Licence Exemption) Regulations 2020.

Each exemption will cease automatically if the person fails to meet these limits (see Division 1 of Part 3), or if the person ceases to be an eligible person.

Each exemption is also subject to other conditions (see Part 5). Failing to meet these conditions may result in ASIC cancelling the exemption or applying to the Court for an order that the person comply with the conditions.

Only one member of a group of related bodies corporate can use an exemption at any one time.

Note 1: The exemption will also not be available if the provider has already been exempt for providing that kind of financial service for the same kind of financial product (see paragraph (b) and paragraph 16(1)(c)).

Note 2: The provider will automatically cease to be exempt if the provider becomes licensed to provide the eligible financial service, or otherwise ceases to be an eligible person for the eligible financial service (see the definition of eligible person in section 5).

(2) For an eligible financial service relating to an insurance product, subsection (1) applies to the provision of the service whether as principal or agent. Otherwise, subsection (1) applies only to the provision of an eligible financial service as principal.

7 Duration of the exemption

The period (the testing period), of the provider’s exemption under section 6 for the eligible financial service, is the 24 months starting on the day after the last day of the 30‑day period referred to in paragraph 6(1)(c).

Note: The exemption may end earlier (see Part 3).

8 Grounds for ASIC deciding that the exemption is not available

(e) if the assumption were made that the financial service is covered by a licence—it reasonably believes that the requirement in section 913BA of the Act (about the fit and proper person test) would not be satisfied in relation to the provider and the licence; or

(f) it reasonably believes that the provider has failed to act fairly, efficiently or honestly in providing financial services or in engaging in credit activities (within the meaning of the National Consumer Credit Protection Act 2009); or

(g) it reasonably believes that a purpose for seeking the exemption under section 6 for the financial service was to continue or recommence an exemption under section 6 that was earlier obtained by another person; or
