What are the notable regulations put in place to ensure FinTech does not encourage illegal monetary transmissions?

Like money laundering and moving money around for illegal uses, because I heard it is quite a common occurrence in China and India?

FinTech is possibly too broad as it covers diverse areas like FX for travellers (YouTrip), Lending to SMEs (Funding Societies) and Robo-advisors (Syfe) each area would have its own regulatory challenges but unlikely all FinTech touches on illegal monetary transmissions.

In terms of regulations - MAS recently reviewed the regulation of money changers and remitters and the outcome of the review was the new Payment Services Bill.

The rules are largely unchanged and same as existing rules. MAS basically it is saying the existing KYC / risk management approaches are reasonable and should apply offline/online and existing entities and new FinTech players.

Where should I put 10k right now? I do not have the time to monitor stocks and it's too high-risk for me so that's a no-go. Preferably a place where my capital will not decrease. I recently saw SSB and wonder if that's the best place right now?

Hi everyone! Where are you guys putting your srs money into? I saw Endowus, wondering any other places that you guys have put in? Would like to read up a little more, thanks!!

What are the security measures that auto wealth have put in place to mitigate cyber risk?? Example, but not limited to, cyber breach and algorithm tweaked, bugs, etc...?

My dad doesn't trust any other places to put his money other than his savings account, which has very little returns. What investment instruments are hard to argue against?
