RBI Deputy Governor Stresses Banks' Responsibility Amid Fintech Outsourcing and Digitalisation
Reserve Bank of India Deputy Governor Swaminathan J highlighted that banks remain responsible for risks even when outsourcing services like loan sourcing or product distribution to fintechs or third parties. Speaking at the FE Modern BFSI Summit 2026, he emphasized that while technology and AI can improve efficiency, internal controls such as independent verification and cooling-off periods are vital to prevent errors, fraud, and mis-selling. Institutions must ensure safeguards evolve with digitalisation without diluting risk management or customer trust.
