Innovate Finance, the trade body for the UK’s fintech industry, has signed a Memorandum of Understanding (MoU) with the Singapore Fintech Association (SFA), which supports fintech in the city state.

The MoU aims to benefit each country’s sectors by fostering closer ties on industry initiatives, including events, joint programmes and research.
