The regulators will also refer innovative fintech firms looking to foray into each other’s markets.
SC chairman Tan Sri Ranjit Ajit Singh said: “The fintech bridges with major markets in the Asia-Pacific and the Middle East form part of the SC’s digital strategy, and build on the already well-established relationships that the SC has with these regulators.
“Such efforts will promote innovation within capital markets, and enhance the cross-pollination of digital finance concepts which will benefit financial services institutions, startups and investors alike.”
SC recently also signed a fintech cooperation agreement with the Dubai Financial Services Authority (DFSA). Earlier this year, it signed a similar pact with the Australian Securities and Investments Commission (ASIC).
