TrustFinance recognised at Singapore Business Review Management Excellence Awards 2025 for fintech innovation

The platform’s Transparent TrustScore helps traders verify brokers through regulator checks and fraud detection.

TrustFinance received an accolade in the Innovator of the Year - Financial Technology category at the Singapore Business Review Management Excellence Awards 2025 for its Transparent TrustScore, a verifiable rating framework designed to bring measurable transparency to retail trading.

The company created the system to address persistent gaps in how traders assess brokers. Many encounter conflicting reviews or licensing details that are difficult to confirm. The Transparent TrustScore combines verified user reviews with regulator licence checks linked directly to public registries. It also integrates machine learning signals to detect manipulation and irregular behaviour. Together, these elements provide a clear view of how each broker performs, setting consistent reference points across an often inconsistent market.

“What’s different isn’t a secret algorithm; it’s the opposite,” TrustFinance stated. “We show the components behind the score so users can see why a broker ranks the way it does. That clarity nudges the whole market in the right direction, reputable brokers lean into transparency, and the bad actors have fewer places to hide.”

TrustFinance expanded its market in Thailand, hosting events that convened brokers and users from across the region. It implemented AI-based anti-bot protection to counter organised fake reviews and published multilingual safety guides to assist new traders in verifying brokers independently. The platform also built an internal record view for every score change, improving auditability for partners and media who use the data as a neutral reference point. As part of its commitment to transparency and user protection, TrustFinance continues to position itself as “Your Financial Trustmark.”

These measures made reliable broker information more accessible and positioned TrustFinance as a credible reference point for transparency within financial technology.

The Singapore Business Review Management Excellence Awards honours visionary executives, innovators, and high-performing teams, as well as initiatives that champion diversity, inclusion, employee engagement, and workplace well-being.

SBR Management Excellence Awards

If you've been wondering whether SBR could work for your company — yes, probably.

A lot of the companies we partner with started as readers. They'd been following our coverage for a while, saw their own customers and competitors in it, and eventually asked the obvious question: could we do something with you? The answer is usually yes. The shape of it depends on what you're trying to do.

The options are broader than most people assume — thought leadership articles, sponsored content, industry summits across Southeast Asia, regional awards programmes, podcasts, and media placements in print and digital. Some partners use one channel; most use a mix. We figure out the right combination by starting with your brief, not with our rate card.

So if the question has been on your mind, here's the easy way to ask it.

We'll tell you honestly whether we can help, and how. It's a better use of everyone's time.
