SEA Deal Ticker
Grants step in where rounds stepped back: MAS puts S$220M behind fintech over three years
FSTI 4.0 runs six tracks covering AI adoption, shared infrastructure and talent, up from S$150M in the last cycle. Singapore counts more than 1,800 fintech firms employing close to 10,000 people.
Positive-sum angle: The infrastructure track pays for rails smaller players rent instead of build. A two-person fintech in Singapore can now ship a product on someone else's compliance stack and spend its own runway on customers.
