To support safe and responsible artificial intelligence (“AI“) innovation, on 12 November 2025, the Monetary Authority of Singapore (“MAS“) and the United Kingdom (“UK“) Financial Conduct Authority (“FCA“) announced a new strategic partnership on AI in Finance (UK-Singapore AI-in-Finance Partnership).
- The Partnership will empower AI solution providers in Singapore and innovators in the UK to more efficiently scale and deploy leading AI technologies across both financial markets.
- Initially, MAS and FCA plan to jointly test AI solutions, share regulatory perspectives, engage in discussions on responsible AI practices, and organise collaborative events to highlight exemplary approaches.
- The collaboration will leverage established AI industry initiatives – such as MAS PathFin.ai and FCA AI Spotlight – to promote the sharing of high-quality solutions and strengthen AI cooperation between the two financial hubs.
Financial institutions (“FIs“) in Singapore and the UK will gain greater access to innovative opportunities and benefit from enhanced cross-border knowledge exchange.
Interested Singapore FIs and AI-in-Finance solution providers can participate in the MAS-FCA AI PathFin.ai events via an application form at PathFin.ai. As part of the application, firms should highlight their relevance to the MAS-FCA AI Partnership, including how their AI solutions or AI financial services support safe and responsible innovation across the UK and Singapore markets.
