Singapore Takes a Closer Look at Virtual Banking Licenses

Singapore, a leading fintech hub in Asia, is looking to further consolidate its position with the help of virtual banking licenses.

The Monetary Authority of Singapore (MAS) is exploring and analysing whether it should let fintech companies operate with the help of virtual banking license and how best to manage and contain potential risks.
