Singapore -- (SBWIRE) -- 11/18/2021 -- Fintech has had something of a bumper year on a global level - and especially in Singapore. In fact, it has been an incredibly strong year for the Singapore industry with local fintechs raising a record S$3.1b in equity funding. On a global basis, funding for fintechs doubled over the past year but in Singapore this increased by 2.5 times. This kind of progress is not necessarily new for the fintech sector, which continues to accelerate and has now seen a number of record-breaking years, despite some challenging economic conditions. And it looks like this incredible growth could be set to continue, as the third quarter of 2021 was the most impressive yet, with about S$1.9 billion raised by local fintechs. This momentum has partly been driven by a number of mega rounds and investment has been focused considerably on fintechs in the payment space, which has attracted around $1 billion.
