    MAS and SFA Announce FinTech Award Winners at Singapore FinTech Festival 2025

    Singapore, 13 November 2025…The Monetary Authority of Singapore (MAS) and the Singapore FinTech Association (SFA) today announced the winners of the Global FinTech Hackcelerator and the Singapore FinTech Festival (SFF) FinTech Excellence Awards at SFF 2025. The winners, comprising financial institutions, FinTechs, solution providers and individuals, were recognised for their innovative solutions which have the potential to enhance performance and drive change in the financial services industry.

    Global FinTech Hackcelerator

    2 The Global FinTech Hackcelerator, organised by MAS and in partnership with the Global Finance & Technology Network (GFTN), sought innovative and market-ready solutions to address problem statements centred on “Artificial Intelligence (AI) for Financial Services”. The winners of the competition were selected on Demo Day, held on 12 November 2025 during SFF. The 17 finalists pitched their solutions to a panel comprising industry experts across multiple domains (further details on the competition and the judging panel can be found at Annex A).

    3 The top three teams (in alphabetical order and in no order of merit) that will receive S$80,000 each in prize money are:

    Company Name Solution Name Jurisdictions
    ActuaViz ActuaWorks Taiwan
    Claimsio Claimsio Poland
    Oxford Risk Oxford Risk United Kingdom

    ActuaViz transforms insurance product management by converting complex documentation into structured, machine-readable formats. The platform processes regulatory PDFs, pricing spreadsheets, and actuarial models to enable intelligent tools that generate product comparison tables, provide real-time agent support through chatbots, and enable transparent pricing simulations. By automating manual processing workflows, ActuaViz accelerates product development cycles and enhances customer understanding of insurance products.

    5 Claimsio provides AI-native debt collection services designed for SMEs, replacing traditional collection agencies with automated workflows. The solution begins with soft collection methods through multichannel communication and expands to include automated legal filings and integrated FinTech services such as factoring. This comprehensive approach streamlines debt recovery processes, reducing administrative burden and maintaining professional relationships for SMEs.

    Oxford Risk enables banks to deliver hyper-personalised financial services by training AI models with insights into investor decision-making processes. The platform integrates traditional transaction data with behavioural layers including cognitive biases, risk tolerance variations, and decision-making patterns. This enriched dataset allows AI systems to move beyond generic suggestions, delivering strategies that align with each investor’s unique cognitive profile and empowering financial advisers to anticipate client needs and tailor interactions more effectively.
