Singapore tops SEA fintech funding with US$372M

The city accounts for 70% of SEA's total funds raised.

Singapore continues to lead Southeast Asia in fintech funding, accounting for more than 70% of the region's total funds raised in 1Q24.

Data from Tracxn showed that in the first quarter of the year, Singapore raised US$372m, becoming the top city for fintech funding in SEA.

Behind Singapore are Jakarta (US$103m), Taguig (US$32.1m), Pathum Wan (US$10.0m) and Ho Chi Minh (US$500k), 

The companies with the top two funding rounds during the quarter also hail from Singapore: ANEXT Bank (US$148m - Series D) and DCS Card Centre (US$75.2m - Series D).

Singapore-based HashKey Capital was amongst the top institutional investors for seed-stage tech startups, with one investment in 1Q24.

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.
