“Developed by government agencies, including with the Monetary Authority of Singapore, with the backing of seven leading banks, the Singapore Financial Data Exchange (SGFinDex) is designed to help Singaporeans improve their money management and financial planning.”
Future plans and opportunities with the data exchange include accessing insurance policies and stock holdings, and the service already offers digital financial planning.
SGFinDex empowers the individual to consolidate his financial information for a comprehensive view of his portfolio, and use digital tools like MyMoneySense to make better financial decisions
