MAS requires financial institutions to use innovative technology solutions

This is to facilitate safer customer on-boarding.

The Monetary Authority of Singapore (MAS) announced that financial institutions (FIs) are now required to use innovative technology solutions when on-boarding customers to prevent and stop money laundering or terrorism financing.

Aside from the non-face-to-face (NFTF) customer verification, MAS added biometric identification, real-time video conferencing, and the use of Public Key Infrastructure (PKI)-based credentials to secure digital signature as a way to protect against impersonation.

FIs can also use MyInfo2 for NFTF identification and verification, but they are not required to obtain additional documents and photographs from customers.

The people you want to reach are already in this room.

Every quarter, SBR lands on the desks of the founders, CFOs, and directors running Asia's most consequential companies. Every day, they open our newsletter and read our website. It's a room that took twenty years to build — and it's the one most of our partners are trying to get into.

The good news is that the door is open. We work with companies on thought leadership articles, sponsored content, industry summits across Southeast Asia, regional awards programmes, podcasts, and media placements in print and digital. The shape of the right partnership depends on what you're trying to do, which is why we'd rather start with a conversation than send a rate card.

If you have something this room should know about, tell us. We'll tell you honestly whether we can help, and how.

No rate cards until we understand the brief. It's a better use of everyone's time.
