In a July 20 announcement, the FCA said the Digital Sandbox will become available on a permanent basis starting on Aug. 1. The financial watchdog conducted two pilot programs of the initiative, which will be open to businesses, startups and data providers — including those involved in banking, investment, lending and payments.


A sandbox allows projects to operate in a testing environment to evaluate their products and services largely without unintended side effects impacting the real world. According to the FCA, the Digital Sandbox is aimed at helping innovative firms in their efforts to launch new products and services, as well as support economic growth and international competitiveness.
