Event Overview

Since its inception in 2016, the Singapore FinTech Festival has evolved from a regional meetup into a world-class financial technology summit. Organized by the Monetary Authority of Singapore (MAS) and Elevandi, the festival attracts more than 60,000 participants from over 130 countries, representing the entire fintech ecosystem — from regulators to rising startups.

SFF 2025 aims to go beyond conversations — it’s a collaborative blueprint for building a more inclusive, secure, and intelligent financial future. Expect engaging keynotes, innovation showcases, policy dialogues, startup exhibitions, and powerful networking sessions, all set in one of the most dynamic fintech hubs in the world.

 

Theme 2025: Technology Blueprint for the Next Decade of Finance

The 2025 edition revolves around the core idea of designing the technological architecture that will drive finance into the next decade. This includes three fundamental tracks:

1. New Payments Settlement Layer

Payments are the foundation of fintech — and SFF 2025 will focus on reimagining settlement systems for speed, scalability, and interoperability. Key discussions will explore cross-border instant payments, CBDC integrations, and tokenized settlement networks that could redefine global financial infrastructure.

2. New Intelligent Financial Systems

Artificial Intelligence (AI) and data-driven models are no longer experimental tools — they’re central to banking, risk, and compliance. The sessions in this track will dive into AI-powered financial ecosystems, algorithmic decision-making, and predictive compliance systems that enhance trust and transparency.

3. New Encryption Architecture

As data breaches and cybersecurity risks rise, encryption becomes the backbone of digital trust. Experts will share insights on quantum-resistant encryption, confidential computing, and decentralized identity management, ensuring that the next wave of finance is not only fast and smart but also secure.

 

Visionaries Leading Innovation

Each year, SFF gathers an unmatched lineup of global visionaries — from central bankers and policymakers to tech founders and venture capitalists. While the 2025 speaker list is yet to be finalized, attendees can expect thought leaders from:

• Global regulatory institutions (MAS, BIS, IMF)
• Fintech unicorns and digital banks
• Blockchain, AI, and cybersecurity pioneers
• Leading financial institutions and payment networks

These sessions bridge perspectives across technology, regulation, and innovation — a hallmark that makes SFF a truly cross-disciplinary experience.

 

Exhibition and Startup Zone

One of the most anticipated highlights of SFF is its exhibition and startup innovation zone, where hundreds of companies showcase their fintech breakthroughs. From blockchain-driven banking to payment infrastructure and regtech automation, the exhibition floor brings the fintech ecosystem to life.

The Innovation Lab Crawl and Elevandi Insights Forum will also feature as part of the festival week, offering hands-on demonstrations and deep-dive sessions into live fintech products and research.
