Singapore -- (SBWire) -- 02/10/2022 --As a financial technology recruiter, it has been difficult not to notice the boom that has taken place in the Australian fintech sector in recent years. In H1 2021 it was estimated that the sector hit US$890 million, a figure that represents a 60% increase on the same period in the year before. Capital is now pouring into the Australian market and this is giving organisations significant resources for expansion. And when it comes to expansion, Singapore is being targeted as one of the top markets for growth by businesses in the Australian fintech sector. 72% of Australian fintech companies responding to one survey said that they plan to expand by entering an overseas market in the next three years. Companies such as commodity digitisation and registry service Trovio have already opened an office in Singapore, planning to use it as an entry point to the rest of Southeast Asia. It looks like many more Australian fintechs won't be far behind.
