AMTD, SFA to prop up country's fintech firms

SFA will be a permanent member of AMTD's SpiderNet network.

AMTD Group and the Singapore FinTech Association have agreed to support the country’s fintech sector and contribute to Singapore’s vision as a smart nation, according to an announcement.

SFA will become a permanent member of AMTD’s SpiderNet ecosystem.

The partnership builds on AMTD’s collaboration with SFA in their solidarity grant with the Monetary Authority of Singapore (MAS) in which SFA acts as the fund administrator. The scheme has received over 250 applications so far, whereby the Business Growth Grant (BGG) is aiming to offset fintech firms’ proof-of-concept costs and it is still open for application.

A NOTE FROM SINGAPORE BUSINESS REVIEW

Reaching the people who run Asia's businesses is harder than it used to be.

Inboxes are crowded. Attention is short. The executives you most want to reach — the founders, CFOs, and operators who actually move budgets — are the hardest to find through the usual channels. If you're building a company, a category, or a reputation, you already know this.

We've spent twenty years building the room they read. Singapore Business Review is where senior decision makers in Singapore and across Southeast Asia come for business coverage they can't get elsewhere — in print, online, and in person at the summits and roundtables we host across seven markets.

If you have something these readers should know about — a point of view worth publishing, a product worth their attention, an event worth their time — we'd like to hear what you're trying to do.
