FINTECH TRENDS IN SOUTHEAST ASIA
1. While core technologies like Blockchain, Artificial Intelligence (AI) and Biometric are
being watched by business sectors, the number of startups that can focus working on this
kind of core techs is still limited. This fact makes those startups more attractive to
investors.
2. Each country has been starting to launch its national regulatory sandbox as one of the
tools to help its regulator monitors the movement of these new use cases.
3. Many of the fintechs have mandates to work with regulators or banks, so scaling and
expanding outside their home countries may not be so fast for these fintechs as startups in
other industries.
4. The entry of Ant Financial into Southeast Asia requires the fintech startups that provide
overlapped services to adapt themselves quickly. Its investment in Ascend Money of CP
group shows an example of unfair advantage from giants.
5

The Top 75 Fintech Startups have been selected based
on three factors. The report mentioned both established
companies which address three factors mentioned
below as well as rising stars which focus more on the
mentioned X-factors.

Jirnexu provides technology solutions and services to banks
and insurance companies to enable them to acquire
customers anytime, anywhere and on any device. Because
banks and insurance companies in emerging markets still rely
on traditional sales channels and practices and when these
institutions have tried to distribute their products on digital
channels, they generally try to apply processes from
traditional channels resulting in terrible customer experience
and poor ROI on digital investments. Jirnexu’s Xpress Apply
solution is a proven out-of-the-box platform that enables
banks and insurance companies to distribute products and
acquire customers digitally.
