The Monetary Authority of Singapore (MAS) has received 21 applications for digital bank licenses. Tarini Ponniah, Chief Compliance Officer for Bruc Bond Singapore, says that she’s glad to see the city state join the likes of the United Kingdom in embracing customer centric digital banking. Coordination and cooperation between the MAS and regulators in other fintech- and digital banking-focused jurisdictions, like Poland, Lithuania, Japan and Australia, would hasten the widespread adoption of digital banking worldwide.
“The UK has become a competitive hotbed for digital banks, with several eyeing penetrating markets very far from home.
