Singapore Fintech Fest 2023, we have a bigger event compared to last year, and a lot of reputable financial and corporate training influencer are there sharing quite a few bigger players that have interesting tech solutions for businesses, especially Ant Financial. UOB has also shared a big booth of their project orchid development.
I even meet my exchange school mate, Ruslan from Taiwan. We first met after 13 years.
It’s a pity, I only have a short afternoon, hence I go straight to meet some of our Taiwanese friends together with Will and JiaXuan.
We met Ka-ming Lim there too! We shared some Pop Corn there too!
And I also takes opportunity to visit our Singapore friends, BasedApp and ESGpedia.
BasedApp are a new kid in the block. They are like crypto.com, they allow users to transact and make payment with crypto currencies using their visa debit card. And they allowed users to convert into xSGD (something like USDC, a USD stable coin, but in SGD) and you may also spend it anywhere like a YouTrip card with the best fiat conversion rates. Besides, they are also building their reward system for users who used their card.
Like and comment this post if you like to know more about the amazing benefits and rewards of this card! Like every card issuers, you get a lot of new users benefit, and we see if we could ask for more.
Next, ESG is one of the big topic in the last few years. And it has also been covered in #marketwatch too. Hence, when I walked passed ESGpedia, the company name immediately caught my attention. I was thinking is it something like Wikipedia of anything related to ESG.
Actually it is. They are a data source website, that collect ESG data. It allow companies of all size to input their data’s in their system, so they could assess their ESG standard, and for them to track their progress. At the moment, their use case is for Financial Institutions to assess the smaller companies, so that they could apply for Green loans that may allow them to borrow at more favourable rates, and which fits to the ESG Goals. I’m seeking if there is any opportunities where they could share with us more insight of the ESG, and how we could leverage on it.
