\"\"Fintech may not be a word we use all that often, but it\u2019s been part of our daily existence for a while now. Internet-based systems like PayPal enable online financial interactions; e-banking procedures are commonplace for anyone with a broadband connection; and contactless (smart) payment cards run the gamut of daily activity, from public transportation to the supermarket checkout.<\/p>\n

Global funding of fintech ventures peaked at USD46.7 billion in 2015 as e-wallets and other financial platforms became widely available. A 2017 study by PwC and Startupbootcamp, an accelerator network, further estimates payments via mobile and contactless systems around the world to reach USD95 billion by the end of 2018, and will collectively lower the cost of basic financial services by up to 90 percent. Over the last three years, the rise of cryptocurrency has likewise elicited a feverish anticipation not seen in the tech community since the World Wide Web, giving fintech a whole new impetus.<\/p>\n

Even as fintech disrupts areas once monopolised by financial institutions, banks themselves are tapping fintech specialists to take on the modern marketplace. \u201cThere is a need to embrace technology,\u201d says Umakanth Rama Pai, chief risk officer at Standard Chartered Bank in Mumbai, epitomising the refrain of professionals who see immense advantages in adopting such innovations in their operations. \u201cThere is something more fundamental: it drives efficiency and helps cut costs and do things in a much more focused manner. There\u2019s also the client experience part of the story\u2014the more convenient you make it, the more clients you will acquire.\u201d<\/p>\n

Standard Chartered runs its own fintech laboratory, the eXellerator in Singapore, whose experts work on such areas as artificial intelligence, machine learning, analytics, data-management platforms, and regulatory technology. However, the bank is also collaborating with technology firms like Apple, Google and Samsung to facilitate contactless, paperless payment systems, as well as fintech partners outside the company. \u201cNiche players,\u201d Pai relates. \u201cThey have studied a specific situation or particular innovation in detail to create a USP or identity for themselves. These fintech partners are quite flexible in adapting to the bank\u2019s specific requirements, so it makes sense for us to partner with them.\u201d<\/p>\n

More: Meet the diverse group of disruptors taking things offline<\/strong><\/a><\/span><\/p>\n

Smaller companies and start-ups are increasingly deploying fintech, as the efficiency provided by disruptors make it easier to not only crowdfund their business but also set up smooth-running payment systems without cumbersome hardware.<\/p>\n

THERE IS A NEED TO EMBRACE FINANCIAL TECHNOLOGY. IT DRIVES EFFICIENCY AND HELPS CUT COSTS AND DO THINGS IN A MUCH MORE FOCUSED MANNER. THERE\u2019S ALSO THE CLIENT EXPERIENCE PART OF THE STORY\u2014THE MORE CONVENIENT YOU MAKE IT, THE MORE CLIENTS YOU WILL ACQUIRE<\/p><\/blockquote>\n

The agility of such fintech start-ups has a profound effect on real-estate companies old and new, and while it can be argued that they have not yet reached a critical mass, their collective dent on the industry is undeniable. A report from the Federal Reserve Bank of New York and New York University reveals that in 2016 fintech lenders made up eight percent of the loans market and originated USD161 billion in mortgages. Both lending and borrowing are faster and cheaper\u2014lenders respond more quickly to market fluctuations; and 25 percent of loans end up defaulting, fewer than the industry average. In addition, consumers have easy access to efficient systems for finding properties and closing deals.<\/p>\n

In Asia, the proliferation of new technologies and microfinance institutions (MFIs) is gathering steam, spurred by the rapidly developing economies of China and India. Between 2013 and 2017, APAC companies raised over half of start-up investment worldwide\u2014USD4.8 billion of the global figure of USD7.8 billion, according to a report by real-estate management company JLL\u2014and it\u2019s a trend set to continue as fast-increasing populations and higher disposable income lead to an inexorable rise in demand.<\/p>\n

Statistics from Southeast Asia speak to fundamental differences in consumer habits compared to the West. The region has a remarkable 133 percent mobile connectivity rate\u2014some users own more than one SIM card or mobile phone\u2014while only 27 percent of Southeast Asians have a current or savings account.<\/p>\n

Cambodia has the highest mobile connectivity, yet only 13 percent of Cambodians are \u201cbanked\u201d, according to a 2017 study by the Asian Development Bank. The blossoming of fintech, accessible through mobile apps, offers significant opportunities to those unreached by conventional banking apparatus, including far-flung rural communities. \u201cThe rapid adoption of new technologies\u2014notably in payments systems\u2014has supported improved financial inclusion,\u201d says the kingdom\u2019s finance minister Aun Pornmoniroth. \u201cWhile MFIs\u2019 increasing presence and significance have greatly contributed to improving access to credit, innovations in fintech have also opened up new possibilities, including low-cost access to credit and savings vehicles.\u201d<\/p>\n

In the Philippines, a country with 10 million overseas Filipino workers (OFW), the need for failsafe remittance services is paramount. The World Bank estimates that OFWs send USD33 billion to the archipelago annually, and it wasn\u2019t until recently that they were able to sidestep the high commission fees of money-transfer giants like Western Union. Now, e-wallets such as Coins.ph are helping cut the cost, with potential for even lower remittance fees as blockchain-based products gain traction.<\/p>\n

While countries with relatively low banked population like Cambodia and the Philippines are leading the charge with products, Singapore has the most fintech start-ups: almost 500 companies in the Lion City attracted USD141 million in investment in 2017. The Singapore Fintech Festival, the world\u2019s largest such convention, in 2017 attracted more than 30,000 attendees from 109 countries and more than 5,000 companies; in\u00a0November\u2019s event has reportedly been \u201cupsized\u201d further.<\/p>\n

Though it provides a solid strategic base for the fintech community, Singaporeans\u2019 widespread reliance on traditional banking and cash payment ironically makes the nation the least flexible for the introduction of cutting-edge payment options. \u201cSingapore has a very high banking penetration,\u201d says Matthew Tippetts, CEO of Cambodian fintech start-up Clik. \u201cIt\u2019s a cultural habit, so I doubt they will go completely cashless anytime soon.\u201d<\/p>\n

One of the most radical developments in real-estate fintech is investment crowdfunding, a concept that originated in America, and in Singapore is being spearheaded by CEO Julian Kwan and COO Alice Chen at InvestaCrowd. Kwan, a Sydneysider, developed ground-breaking real-estate projects in China before moving to Singapore for its strong regulatory framework.<\/p>\n

The company enables greater access to investors to make a minimum eight percent profit on developments in mature markets with relatively low outlay, thus securing public-market liquidity with private-market returns. This contrasts with costly REITs, where shareholders invest in multiple properties. \u201cThe worst returns in private-equity real estate are double the best in REITs,\u201d says Kwan.<\/p>\n

The results are proven\u2014InvestaCrowd has secured 25 deals and raised nearly USD50 million\u2014but the key difference is the technology being used. With the exception of the contract, the investment is made online, and eventually all payment will be made via blockchain, with RealFuel tokens representing true ownership of an asset. The great advantage of tokens in a licensed framework is that they are \u201ctransparent, commutable, reliable and visible,\u201d says Kwan. \u201cThe beauty of blockchain is that you\u2019ve got a distributed ledger that\u2019s recording who owns what.\u201d<\/p>\n

\u201cFor us the future of shareholding will be digital,\u201d continues the CEO. \u201cThe next phase of business is that we\u2019re building a real-estate security token exchange [ICTX].\u201d The latter is fundamental in building the infrastructure around digital real-estate investment. \u201cIf you look at the 300 cryptocurrency exchanges in the world, I think one of them is licensed to deal in assets and security tokens. The rest are null and void,\u201d Kwan says.<\/p>\n

Clearly an evangelist for the potential of digitising investment, Kwan believes that as it develops, the real barriers become psychological rather than financial. \u201cWhen you do something new, people think these deals aren\u2019t real, because they sound too good to be true. I think in five years, trading on private-equity deals will be at least equal to, if not greater than the public market because of the tokenisation of real estate, products and platforms. It\u2019s a matter of how much appetite the buyer has.\u201d<\/p>\n
