The winners, comprising financial institutions, FinTechs, solution providers and individuals, were recognised for their innovative solutions and efforts in unlocking key opportunities within the financial services industry.  Global FinTech Hackcelerator – The Global FinTech Hackcelerator, organised by MAS in partnership with the Global Finance & Technology Network (GFTN), sought innovative and market-ready solutions, to address problem statements centred on “Improving Financial Health”. The winners of the competition were selected on Demo Day, held on 6 November 2024 during SFF. The 18 finalists pitched their solutions to a panel comprising industry experts across multiple domains (further details on the competition and the judging panel can be found at Annex A). KaiOS aims to transform financial literacy with a gamified, interactive approach that is accessible to everyone – even those without mobile phones. With their personalised learning experience on feature phones, KaiOS ensures users gain practical and enduring financial skills. KaiOS’s ‘learn-to-earn’ model provides real incentives to embark on a digital journey, step by step. Users convert the points they earn into coins with monetary value, which can then be used for savings and other financial services. Recognising that many individuals still rely on cash, the platform utilises existing cash-digital bridges like airtime and mobile money agents.  WeGro is a pioneering Agri-FinTech platform that leverages Open Banking and peer-to-peer (P2P) lending to offer tailored financial products, including loans, savings accounts and agricultural insurance, specifically designed for smallholder farmers. The platform integrates all aspects of the farmer’s financial journey, including onboarding, KYC verification, loan origination, product purchasing and repayment within a single digital marketplace. Additionally, WeGro facilitates P2P lending, enabling individuals and investors to directly fund farmers, aligning their interests, and fostering community-driven financial support.  Your Financial Wellness (YFW) offers a scalable, personalised platform designed to tackle the global challenges of financial literacy and wellness. The platform is a turn-key solution made available through financial institutions and employers and helps users articulate and achieve their financial goals and aspirations. By leveraging advanced data analytics and algorithm-driven personalisation, YFW delivers content that is uniquely relevant to each user’s financial situation, ensuring greater engagement, improved financial literacy and better decision-making.
