The Monetary Authority of Singapore (MAS) and the Singapore Fintech Association (SFA) have launched the 2022 Singapore Fintech Festival (SFF) Global Fintech Awards.
Supported by PwC Singapore, the awards seek to reward the most innovative solutions offered by fintech companies, financial institutions and technology companies. The accolades also aim to recognise individuals and companies that it deems have been instrumental in creating new growth opportunities, transforming fintech industry practices and promoting financial inclusion.
In light of the accelerated pace of business digitalisation that has become a defining feature of the last two years, the awards celebrate the theme of ‘Embracing Digital, Charting the New Normal‘.
A new sustainability criteria has been included on top of the previous judging criteria of impact, practicality, interoperability, uniqueness and creativity, underscoring the urgency of environmental, social and governance (ESG) factors within today’s fintech business models.
The awards are to be hosted entirely on API Exchange (APIX), a cloud-based innovation platform for fintech solutions.
