According to the company, the IPA fuels its efforts to develop a user-centric finance stack for the global economy.

"Securing the In-Principle Approval for the MPI license from MAS is a significant validation of our commitment to building a robust and secure financial ecosystem for businesses across Asia and beyond," said Aspire CEO Andrea Baronchelli.

"We look forward to deepening our collaboration with MAS as we continue to drive innovation and growth for the SME and startup ecosystems in the region.” he added.

Aspire said it is positioned to leverage Singapore’s regulatory environment and market landscape to deploy localised solutions that fit Singaporean businesses.

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.
