  • Reply To New Zealand Parliamentary Question On Digital Payment Token Service Provider Applicants

    Date 26/07/2021

    Question:

    To ask the Prime Minister (a) to date, what is the total number of digital payment token service provider applicants, with a breakdown by applications that are (i) withdrawn (ii) rejected and (iii) approved; (b) what is the number of entities currently exempted from holding a licence under the Payment Services Act for the provision of digital payment token services; and (c) what is the average duration of exemption to date.

    Answer by Mr Tharman Shanmugaratnam, Senior Minister and Minister in charge of MAS:

    1     The new Payment Services Act (“PS Act”) commenced on 28 January 2020.  As part of the transitional arrangements, entities that were engaged in regulated activities before the commencement of the Act were exempted from holding a licence if they submitted licence applications before the end of a specified grace period. The specified grace period for digital payment token (DPT) service providers ended in July 2020, six months after the commencement of the PS Act. The exemption remains in force until the applications are approved or rejected by the Monetary Authority of Singapore (MAS) or withdrawn by the applicant.

  • Reply To Singapore Parliamentary Question On Micro-Investment Products

    Date 26/07/2021

    Question:

    To ask the Prime Minister in view of a broader trend of financial institutions and companies selling micro-investment products (a) what is the situation in Singapore; and (b) how will MAS seek to regulate such products and educate Singaporeans about such investments.

    Answer by Mr Tharman Shanmugaratnam, Senior Minister and Minister in charge of MAS:

    1     Micro-investment products, as their name suggests, require small minimum investment amounts – some as low as $1. The product range largely mirrors those of investment products available for larger minimum investment amounts. Examples of micro-investment products include regular investment savings plans, investments in exchange-traded funds, as well as private equity or debt investments. Given the small minimum investments required, these products are aimed at  retail investors.
