Singapore -- (SBWire) -- 12/21/2021 --As of November 2021, Singapore remains the top location in the ASEAN region in terms of the number of deals made by fintech firms. A total of USD$1.6 billion in investments was secured by Fintech firms in Singapore with almost half of the deals attributable to the city state. Indonesia took second place behind Singapore with USD$904 million in funding raised while Vietnam ranked third in the ASEAN region, raising USD$375 million after two mega rounds. The region as a whole saw a huge spike in Fintech funding this year with investment more than tripling over the figures recorded for the year before. One of the major drivers of this was investors focusing on firms they viewed as having a better chance of surviving the pandemic. However, in terms of the number of businesses being established in the Fintech sphere the numbers have slowed down somewhat, with 107 new companies set up in 2021, less than half the total for the year before.
