And to be fair, a few years ago, every cloud provider would have tried to avoid building and operating local datacenters or offering the right to audit to regulators.

As I said, a lot has changed.

Just recently the Swiss Bankers Association published a guideline
Cloud Guidelines: A guide to secure cloud banking. Giving advice how cloud and banking can find their way together.
