Today’s first call was on Reuben Lim the CEO of Singapore FinTech Association (SFA) at 80RR Fintech Hub SG 80 Robinson Road here in Singapore. SFA has 800 corporate members representing over 8,000 people across different FinTech disciplines in Singapore from the main banks to small B2B operations. We are talking about setting up a mission for SFA members to London to identify opportunities for investment, partnership and hopefully to attract some of the fast growing businesses into London’s FinTech ecosystem. For centuries London has been a financial powerhouse where technology and talent converge to create a uniquely strong and dynamic ecosystem. Its strengths have stood out over the past five years (since 2019), with more than $37.8bn having been invested into London's fintech companies, behind only San Francisco - making London the FinTech capital of Europe. We brought a trade delegation the other way last week for Singapore FinTech Festival with London businesses looking for investment, partnerships and to set up in SIngapore. This is one of the fast growing sectors outlined in the Mayor of London, Sadiq Khan ‘s Growth Plan. Thanks to Neil Brigden from London & Partners Grow London for setting up the meeting and following up this opportunity for London.

In the world of digital payments, the prevalence of fraud schemes is on the rise. To address these challenges, ComplyAdvantage and Singapore FinTech Association (SFA) hosted a seminar at 80RR Fintech Hub SG, focusing on current fraud trends and strategies for detecting these risks on 18 September, 2024. 🌐   The session highlighted that Fraud can be divided into two different frameworks: one aimed at preventing clients from falling for scams and the other focusing on thwarting scammers from exploiting digital platforms. Also shared were the current fraud prevention measures in social media. The approach to preventing often relies on reporting fraudulent accounts in hopes for actions to be taken, which can be inadequate. Moreover, private messaging platforms may also be rife with scam risks, since there is a vast ecosystem where scammers operate not just locally but across regions. Thus, anyone can be a victim of scams. 🚨 Need an Event Space? 🌟 https://lnkd.in/fVVGA4f #SFA #DigitalPayments #PrivacyProtection #EventSpace #80RR
