In November 2018, the third installment of the Singapore FinTech Festival drew almost 45,000 participants from around 130 countries, reaffirming its position as the largest FinTech event globally. Hosted by the Monetary Authority of Singapore (MAS) in conjunction with The Association of Banks in Singapore and SingEx Holdings, the festival served as a worldwide hub for the FinTech community to engage and cooperate, backed by sponsorship from five major partners: AMTD, Deloitte, GIC, Google Cloud, and Prudential.
