# Regulatory Roadmap — Launching a Fintech Lending Product
**Product:** consumer micro-loans via app. **Jurisdictions:** Germany + wider EU. **Stage:** pre-launch.
## 1. Regulatory Universe (extract)
| Regulation | Jurisdiction | Applicability | Penalty | Regulator |
|------------|-------------|---------------|---------|-----------|
| KWG (banking license / partner-bank) | DE | High | License loss | BaFin |
| Consumer Credit Directive | EU | High | Fines, voided contracts | National |
| GDPR | EU | High | up to 4% turnover | DPAs |
| AML/KYC (GwG, AMLD) | DE/EU | High | Criminal | FIU/BaFin |
## 2. Gap Analysis (top items)
| Requirement | Current | Gap | Severity | Priority |
|-------------|---------|-----|----------|----------|
| Partner-bank / license | None | Must secure BaFin-licensed partner | Critical | P0 |
| KYC/AML workflow | Manual | Need automated onboarding + screening | High | P0 |
| Affordability/credit checks | None | Mandatory creditworthiness assessment | Critical | P0 |
| DPIA for credit scoring | None | Required for automated decisions | High | P1 |
## 3. Roadmap
- **0–90 days (Critical):** sign partner-bank, stand up KYC/AML, build affordability check — these gate launch.
- **90–180 (Core):** DPIA, complaints procedure, SCHUFA reporting integration, staff AML training.
- **180–365 (Excellence):** audit readiness, regulator relationship, monitoring dashboard.
## 4. Resource Plan
Internal: compliance lead (1 FTE) + part-time DPO. External: fintech-regulatory counsel, AML tooling vendor. Est. €280k year one.
## 5. Risk Register (top)
Launching without a licensed partner = existential — **do not soft-launch.** Trigger to escalate to board: partner-bank LOI not signed by month 2.
