Experian and SFA launch partnership to boost FinTech growth

The goal is to accelerate the growth of high-potential companies offering scalable technologies.

Experian and the Singapore FinTech Association (SFA) have launched a strategic partnership aimed at supporting FinTech innovation across Southeast Asia.

The initiative brings together Experian’s data and analytics capabilities with SFA’s network in the FinTech ecosystem to identify and support companies developing cloud-native financial solutions.

Set to launch officially on 8 September, the program will focus on FinTechs working in areas such as eKYC/eKYB, digital onboarding, alternative data scoring, and open banking.

The goal is to accelerate the growth of high-potential companies offering scalable technologies in these domains.

The timeline includes an information session in early September, followed by an application and evaluation phase throughout the month.

One to three FinTech companies will be shortlisted in October to engage in partnership discussions and go-to-market activities. The program is expected to conclude in April 2026 with an announcement of outcomes.

Eligible applicants must be international FinTech firms with a Singapore presence and demonstrate product-market fit through real customer deployments. Preference will be given to early-stage companies that align with Experian’s business areas.

Selected participants will gain access to Experian’s regional client network, potential commercial collaboration opportunities, and increased brand visibility through joint marketing.

A NOTE FROM SINGAPORE BUSINESS REVIEW

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.
