Singapore FinTech Festival 2026

The Singapore FinTech Festival 2026 is the eleventh edition of what its organisers describe as the largest annual fintech gathering in the world, running 18-20 November 2026 across Halls 1-6 of Singapore EXPO. It is convened by the Monetary Authority of Singapore with the Global Finance & Technology Network and The Association of Banks in Singapore, which is what gives it its distinguishing feature: alongside roughly 70,000 participants from 142 countries, 940-plus speakers and 600-plus sponsors and exhibitors, it draws around 840 central banks, regulatory institutions and government organisations into the same building as the vendors they regulate. The 2026 theme is 'The Rewiring: New Risks, New Rules, New Growth', broken into technological, policy, geopolitical, capital and talent rewiring, and roughly 300 sessions run across six conference stages plus the Festival, Frontier, Impact, FutureMatters, Catalyst, Ignite and Founders stages.

For anyone selling into, running or regulating financial services in Asia, this is the one week where the regulator, the incumbent banks, the challengers and the capital are all in the same halls. The specific payoff is regulatory read-through: MAS and its peers use this stage to signal supervisory direction on AI, digital assets and cross-border payments months before formal guidance lands, which is directly actionable for a compliance or product roadmap. Add the 600-plus exhibitor floor for vendor shortlisting and the matchmaking programme for capital conversations, and three days here replaces a quarter of regional travel.

• ✓2026 theme 'The Rewiring: New Risks, New Rules, New Growth', split into technological, policy, geopolitical, capital and talent rewiring
• ✓Around 300 sessions across six conference stages
• ✓Seven named stages: Festival, Frontier, Impact, FutureMatters, Catalyst, Ignite and Founders
• ✓600+ sponsors and exhibitors across Halls 1-6 of Singapore EXPO
• ✓940+ speakers, with ~840 central banks, regulatory institutions and government organisations represented
• ✓Global FinTech Hackcelerator competition
• ✓Investor matchmaking sessions and structured networking across Singapore's business district
• ✓Dedicated AI programming spanning regulation, compliance automation and emerging technology

• ★Convened by a central bank — the Monetary Authority of Singapore co-organises it, which is why roughly 840 central banks, regulators and government bodies attend and why regulatory signalling happens here rather than in a press release
• ★Scale without a single-vendor agenda: ~70,000 participants from 142 countries makes it the largest fintech event in the world and the practical annual meeting point for Asian financial services
• ★The regulatory, capital and technology tracks run in the same venue, so a bank CTO can go from an AI-governance session to an investor meeting to a supervisor conversation in one afternoon
• ★Explicit geopolitics track — the 2026 'Rewiring' theme treats geopolitical and capital realignment as first-class programme content, which most technology conferences avoid entirely
• ★Structured deal-making infrastructure: the Global FinTech Hackcelerator, investor matchmaking and a 600-plus exhibitor floor, rather than networking left to chance
