Building a seamless, safe, cashless and connected society

THANKS to the innovation focused on the fintech sector, cashless payments have grown tremendously, faster than ever before. The use of contactless credit cards, digital wallets, wearable technology and biometric authentication is fast becoming commonplace, embedded in our daily lives.

Singapore's vision for a Smart Nation-esque cashless ecosystem is close to being achieved.

With more startups and international research and development centres expanding their presence here, the city is indeed well-placed to drive innovation with its digital savvy population, easy access to quality talent, pro-business policies and strong government support. Government agencies such as the Economic Development Board have been a crucial enabler in championing technological innovation and business growth.
