Eight innovative FinTech startups seeking to shape the future of finance with impactful solutions to enhance the customer’s digital journey, risk management, as well as cybersecurity and more, today kicked off this year’s DBS Accelerator programme under a new “always-on” format.

Hailing from across Asia and around the world, the eight startups are Avoka, Dathena Science, FinChat, Metisa, Netki, Perx Technologies, SearchInk, and Squirro. They will follow in the footsteps of the programme’s alumni startups, all of which successfully secured funding support or expanded their business in Hong Kong as a result of their participation in DBS Accelerator.

“We are very pleased to see the continued success of DBS Accelerator in facilitating the growing mainstream adoption of FinTech, especially in the way consumers and corporations transact and interact. Through DBS Accelerator, we are committed to shaping the future of finance by helping innovative FinTech startups unlock their potential, and expanding and promoting the FinTech ecosystem,” Sebastian Paredes, CEO, DBS Bank (Hong Kong).
