SG, India ink agreement on fintech cooperation

The agreement will promote regulatory collaboration between the two markets.

The Monetary Authority of Singapore (MAS) and the International Financial Services Centres Authority (IFSCA) in India inked a cooperation agreement allowing regulatory collaboration and partnership in fintech between two markets.

Under the agreements, MAS and IFSCA will "leverage existing regulatory sandboxes in their respective jurisdictions to support experimentation of technology innovations."

"This includes referral of companies to each other’s regulatory sandboxes and enable innovative cross-border experiments in both jurisdictions," MAS said.

The agreement will also allow both parties to share non-supervisory related information and developments on innovation in financial products and services.

MAS and IFSCA can likewise facilitate discussions on emerging FinTech issues and participate in joint innovation projects.

“The cross-border testing of use cases between Singapore and India will pave the way for operationalising a broader collaboration framework for FinTech use cases involving multiple jurisdictions," MAS Chief FinTech Officer, Sopnendu Mohanty said.

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.
