Finmo obtains in-principle approval for MPI license from MAS

This lets Finmo’s customers receive funds in Singaporean dollars.

Singapore-based global payments company, Finmo, was given an In-Principle Approval (IPA) for a Major Payment Institution (MPI) license by the Monetary Authority of Singapore (MAS).

Approved last March, this allows Singaporean businesses to utilise Finmo's range of global payments services, including its existing product portfolio available in the Asia Pacific region.

Finmo’s services include account issuance, competitive domestic and cross-border money transfers, multi-currency wallets, and online payment acceptance via Real-Time Payment (RTP) rails.

With the expansion into Singapore, Finmo's customers can receive funds in Singapore dollars.

Furthermore, Finmo plans to introduce additional features during the ongoing rollout, including an API suite tailored for technology-driven businesses requiring integrated payments and financial services.

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.
