Who Needs to Comply with MAS TRM and Cyber Hygiene Regulatory Requirements in Singapore?

If you are a FinTech company operating in areas such as:

  • Digital banking
  • Payment services
  • Remittance platforms
  • Crowdfunding
  • Collective investment schemes
  • Financial advisory
  • Robo-advisory or trading platforms

and your platform uses technology (e.g., web/mobile apps, APIs, cloud services) AND you are licensed or exempted from licensing by MAS, then you are legally obligated to comply with MAS’s

Why Technology Risk and Cyber Hygiene Compliance Truly Matters for FinTechs?

Financial platforms are high-value targets for cyber threats. Whether your app is hosted on AWS, Azure, or Google Cloud, its exposure to the public internet makes it vulnerable to:

  • Hacking and data breaches
  • Distributed Denial-of-Service (DDoS) attacks
  • Ransomware and malware threats
  • Third-party API and integration failures

A cyber incident in one FinTech company can cascade across connected systems, affecting other institutions and public trust in Singapore’s financial ecosystem. That’s why MAS enforces strict governance and technology risk standards to maintain national and global confidence in our digital financial sector.
