MAS fines five firms for AML breaches in June

The penalties were issued on 27 June 2025 following inspections that uncovered failures to comply with key AML/CFT requirements.

The Monetary Authority of Singapore (MAS) has imposed $960,000 in composition penalties on five Major Payment Institutions for breaching Anti-Money Laundering and Countering the Financing of Terrorism (AML/CFT) regulations.

The penalties were issued on 27 June 2025 following inspections that uncovered failures to comply with key AML/CFT requirements.

The five penalised firms are Remsea Pte Ltd, Arcade Plaza Traders Pte Ltd, J-Dee Remittance Services Pte Ltd, Mobile Community Tech Pte Ltd, and OxPay SG Pte Ltd. According to MAS, these breaches posed serious compliance concerns and warranted a decisive regulatory response.

MAS stated that enforcement actions are selected based on the nature and severity of the misconduct, to deter future breaches and maintain Singapore’s reputation as a clean and trusted financial hub.

In addition to composition penalties, MAS may also issue reprimands, prohibition orders, civil penalties, or refer cases for criminal prosecution, depending on the circumstances.

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.
