Professor Ruth Plato-Shinar

Professor Ruth Plato-Shinar is a full professor of Banking Law and Financial Regulation, and the founder and Director of the Center for Banking Law and Financial Regulation, at the Netanya Academic College, Israel.

Her research (books and articles) deals with bank-customer relationships, consumer financial protection, ethics in finance, means of payment, and various aspects of financial regulation.

The body of work of Prof. Plato-Shinar projects a strong consumer protection approach, recognizing the need for a wider protection for banking customers. She emphasizes the huge disparity of power between the bank and the retail customers, and calls for curbing the banks' financial and political clout by imposing a wide fiduciary duty on the banks towards their customers.

Her studies have bestowed upon her a few prizes and grants, including a special award of the Canadian Government for her contribution to developing the doctrine of the social responsibility of banks, and the Jean Monnet Center of Excellence Research Grant for her work on consumer protection in a world of digital payments.

In recent years, her research has focused on the intersection between finance, technology, and the law. She deals with topics such as the use of artificial intelligence (AI) in financial services; "open banking" and information sharing systems; the digitation of financial services; Central Bank Digital Currencies (CBDC); and more. Her research explores the impact of financial emerging technologies on consumers, from both the human rights and the consumer protection aspects. With the objective of trying to balance between encouraging innovation and protecting consumers, she examines possible regulatory models for these financial activities.

Professor Plato-Shinar has been invited as a visiting/research scholar to prominent institutions, such as Cambridge University, Harvard Law School, Bologna University, Kings College London, UCL London, The Swiss Institute of Comparative Law, Max Planck Institute for Private Law, and more.

She is a Fellow Academic Member of the European Banking Institute (EBI); an  Advisory Board Member at the Asian Institute for International Financial Law (AIIFL) at Hong Kong University; and a member of the Advisory Council at the Center for Commercial Law Studies (CCLS) in Queen Mary University, London.

Professor Plato-Shinar holds several public positions. She is a member of the Advisory Committee of the Governor of the Bank of Israel; the Chairperson of the Advisory Committee of the Commissioner of Credit Data Sharing; the Chairperson of the Advisory Committee of the Supervisor of Financial Service Providers; Deputy Chairperson of the Advisory Committee of the Supervisor of Capital Markets Insurance and Savings; and a member of the License Committee of the Supervisor of Banks.

Formerly she served on the Advisory Committee of the Israeli Minister of Finance, and as the Public Representative on the Board of the Government Class Actions Fund.

Prof. Plato-Shinar devotes a portion of her time to public activity and community affairs. She is a member of the Public Committee of Maale (a ranking body for corporate social responsibility). Formerly she served on the Academic Committee of the Jerusalem Center for Ethics.
