Singapore jumps to fourth in global fintech rankings

Singapore has overtaken London, which fell to fifth.

Singapore has jumped to fourth place in the latest Global Financial Centres Index (GFCI 38) FinTech rankings, moving up four positions from the previous edition.

With a FinTech rating of 745, up from 724, Singapore now sits just behind Hong Kong, Shenzhen, and New York, and has overtaken London, which fell to fifth.

The index, published by Z/Yen Group in September 2025, assessed 116 financial centres on their FinTech capabilities. The report highlights growing momentum in Asia-Pacific, with Shanghai, Dubai, and Guangzhou entering the global top ten—displacing Boston, Beijing, and Zurich.

Survey respondents cited the presence of a strong innovation ecosystem or cluster as the most important factor in building a competitive FinTech environment, followed by access to finance and availability of skilled talent.

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.
