Singapore and Vietnam tie up for fintech cooperation

Additionally, the two countries also revised a partnership on banking supervision.

The Monetary Authority of Singapore (MAS) and the State Bank of Viet Nam (SBV) formed a new partnership to encourage FinTech innovation and to strengthen cooperation in banking supervision.

According to an announcement, the new memorandum of understanding (MOU) between MAS and SBV on financial innovation will facilitate joint innovation projects between the two countries, help FinTech companies in one jurisdiction better understand the regulatory regime and opportunities in the other, and encourage the sharing of information on emerging FinTech trends and developments.

MAS and SBV also revised their existing MOU on banking supervision to enhance cooperation in crisis management. "The MOU underscores the two regulators’ shared commitment to safeguarding the financial sectors in Singapore and Viet Nam," MAS said.

SBV governor Le Minh Hung said, “Viet Nam and Singapore have developed close cooperation in the banking sector in the past many years. With the signing of the revised MOU on cooperation and exchange of information in banking supervision and MOU on cooperation in the field of financial innovation, the framework for cooperation between our two agencies will be broadened and deepened, contributing importantly to the development of the strategic partnership between the two countries.”

A NOTE FROM SINGAPORE BUSINESS REVIEW

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.
