Singapore Fintech Association launches Fintech Foundation Program Flex

The programme is done in partnership with 10x1000 Tech

Singapore Fintech Association (SFA) will launch its Fintech Foundation Program Flex.

The programme was done through a partnership with 10x1000 and aims to bring in 100 Flex learners. The scheduled initiation of the program is in October.

SG Fintech members can also apply through the SFA.

Shadab Taiyabi, president of SFA, explained how this programme will serve as a way of supplementing the shift towards digital adoption.

“With 90% of fintech companies in Singapore planning to grow their workforce over the next 12 months, continuous education, mentorship, and training opportunities are critical to bridging the demand for talents. We are excited to work closely with 10x1000, and the collaboration marks another milestone in SFA’s ongoing efforts of forging industry partnerships to provide local professionals with the opportunity to further build their expertise to stay relevant and competitive,” Taiyabi said.

Eric Jing, chairman and CEO of Ant Group, owner and operator of Alipay, also highlighted the benefits that this program and partnership will bring in terms of fintech knowledge.

“I am excited that learners from 10x1000’s new Flex program will gain the fintech knowledge that they need to support their communities, and help bring us closer to meeting the UN Sustainable Development Goals (SDGs)," said Jing.

The current partnership with SFA is only one of 10x1000’s efforts to strengthen collaboration worldwide. IFC, United Nations Economic Commission for Africa, UN World Food Programme, as well as fintech associations from Hong Kong, Malaysia, MENA, and the Philippines are some of those that already partnered with 10x1000.

If you've been wondering whether SBR could work for your company — yes, probably.

A lot of the companies we partner with started as readers. They'd been following our coverage for a while, saw their own customers and competitors in it, and eventually asked the obvious question: could we do something with you? The answer is usually yes. The shape of it depends on what you're trying to do.

The options are broader than most people assume — thought leadership articles, sponsored content, industry summits across Southeast Asia, regional awards programmes, podcasts, and media placements in print and digital. Some partners use one channel; most use a mix. We figure out the right combination by starting with your brief, not with our rate card.

So if the question has been on your mind, here's the easy way to ask it.

We'll tell you honestly whether we can help, and how. It's a better use of everyone's time.
