Synfindo
Synfindo is a Fintech Startup that is committed to building innovative products for the Financial Services industry. We seek to enable growth for the financial services industry across the globe, by accelerating collaboration opportunities between Financial Institutions (FIs) and Fintechs (FTs). Through technological enablement and digitization, FIs can improve their customer solutions, and both serve their existing customers better and also access newer market segments across emerging markets. We run the APIX Innovation Platform (www.apixplatform.com) where FIs, regulators and companies can search for and discover innovative, digital solutions from fintechs and then rapidly design, experiment and deploy these solutions. We do so by offering products such as: - An easy to configure digital infrastructure to conduct hackathons ("Hackolosseum") - A search and discovery platform for Financial Institutions to find FinTechs ("Marketplace") - A cloud-based testing environment ("API-Sandbox") - Other products such as a verifiable credential registry and wallet ("chekFIN") We are headquartered in Singapore and our priority markets include ASEAN, South Asia, the Middle East and Africa. We are a fast-growing company, hiring a new team and keen to make an impact across the financial services sector. Synfindo represents the future and an evolution of the highly successful APIX platform which was initially launched in 2018 by India’s Prime Minister Narendra Modi and Singapore’s Deputy Prime Minister Tharman Shanmugaratnam as a non-profit under the Monetary Authority of Singapore (MAS). To drive future growth, APIX was transferred to Synfindo, a new company supported by investors including the LemmaTree Group (founded by Temasek) and Mastercard, in 2022.
