Season's Greetings

Dear Edward,

In the past year, there has been a lot of turbulence in the market, which has also affected the FinTech sector. Despite this, FinTech remains attractive and its growth trajectory is intact.

In the many discussions we had with investors, startups, industry associations and other industry experts, we were shown time and time again, the future of FinTech is in Asia and Asia is driving FinTech globally.

We would also like to thank all the readers of our newsletters who provided us with their thoughts and feedback on the FinTech topics and themes covered. With our weekly newsletter, we aim to share key FinTech developments and interesting FinTech ideas with a broader audience.

FinTech is such an interesting and diverse sector, it covers so many areas, it’s impacts everyone’s life and FinTech solutions can really make a difference in so many people’s life. In the past 6 months, our newsletters have covered topics ranging from Payments to InsurTech, KYC and EWA.

To show how an Asian Fintech company can change the life for so many people, let us quickly highlight the EWA Solution developed by Paywatch. EWA stands for Earned Wage Access. It is a new and innovative way to help workers and employees access salary which they have already earned but is not due to be received until their pay day at the end of the month. EWA provides flexibility at attractive cost in those situations when urgent purchases need to be made, but the paycheck has not arrived yet.

Continuing to be your trusted partner for FinTech, we will keep you informed about industry trends and help you capture the immense potential of this sector.

In the new year, there will be many challenges and opportunities, and we are looking forward to continuing working with you.

Wishing you a most enjoyable holiday season and looking forward to the coming year.
