Who We Are
A Global Digital Banking and Wealth Management Platform
Founded in Singapore in 2000 and listed on the Singapore Exchange Mainboard since 2014, iFAST Corporation is a global digital banking and wealth management platform.
We provide a comprehensive range of investment, banking, pension administration, financial advisory and fintech solutions to investors, wealth advisers, financial institutions, pension stakeholders and banking customers.
Through our operations in Singapore, Hong Kong, Malaysia, China and the United Kingdom, we are building an integrated global financial ecosystem that helps customers invest, save and manage their financial needs more seamlessly across markets.
Our Mission
To Help Investors Around the World Invest Globally and Profitably
From the beginning, iFAST has believed that investing should be simple, transparent and accessible.
Our mission guides how we develop our platforms, products and services. It reflects our commitment to helping investors make better-informed decisions and gain convenient access to a broad range of investment opportunities from around the world.
As our business has expanded beyond investment distribution into digital banking, pension administration, payments and other fintech services, this mission continues to anchor our long-term direction.
From an Online Investment Platform to a Global Fintech Ecosystem
iFAST began its journey in Singapore in 2000 with the launch of Fundsupermart.com, an online investment platform created to make investment products, research and pricing information more transparent and accessible to investors.
At a time when independent investment information was not widely available, the platform introduced investors to a more convenient way of researching, comparing and transacting in investment products online. This commitment to transparency, technology and investor empowerment became the foundation of the iFAST business.
Over the years, we expanded our product range beyond unit trusts to include bonds, stocks, exchange-traded funds, managed portfolios, cash products and other investment solutions. We also extended our platform capabilities to serve financial advisory companies, banks, financial institutions and wealth advisers.
Our business subsequently grew across Singapore, Hong Kong, Malaysia and China. In 2022, our acquisition of a UK bank marked another significant step in our transformation, enabling us to integrate digital banking and cross-border financial services into our wealth management ecosystem.
Today, iFAST has evolved from an online investment platform into a global digital banking and wealth management group with three core business divisions: Wealth Management, Digital Banking and ePension.
What We Do
Three Core Business Divisions
Our three business divisions work together within an integrated financial ecosystem serving individual customers, wealth advisers, financial institutions and pension stakeholders.
Wealth Management
Multi-product investment platforms and solutions serving individual investors, wealth advisers, financial advisory companies, banks and other financial institutions.
Digital Banking
Digital personal banking, business banking, deposits, payments and remittance services through iFAST Global Bank.
ePension
Digital pension administration and technology solutions supporting pension schemes, trustees, employers and scheme members.
Our Integrated Fintech Ecosystem
Our businesses are designed to complement one another within a connected fintech ecosystem.
This integrated model allows us to support the financial needs of individual customers, wealth advisers, financial institutions and business partners at different stages of their financial journeys.
It also enables the Group to introduce new services efficiently, build stronger connections across its businesses and pursue growth without relying solely on any one product, customer segment or geographical market.
Our Three-Year Plan: 2026–2028
The Group has communicated its multi-year plans since 2018 to provide greater clarity on our long-term direction and strategic priorities. Our latest Three-Year Plan outlines the key priorities and foundations needed to achieve Vision 2030.
Truly Global Business
Serve customers globally from key global centres, with Singapore, Hong Kong and London to support this highly scalable strategy.
Vision 2030
Scale towards S$100 billion in Group Assets Under Administration by the end of 2030.
This implies a compound annual growth rate (“CAGR”) of 25.6% or higher over the next five years. The AUA will be driven by contributions from the core wealth management platform business and the iFAST Global Bank’s deposits. Net revenue margin on AUA is targeted to be about 60 bps.
Deliver on ePension Services
As onboarding has been fully completed, the Group will continue to focus on improving service quality and operational efficiency.
Innovative Fintech Services
Develop payments and other services that complement our digital
banking and wealth management platforms.
Examples include expansion in paymentrelated services and a bond marketplace (Bondsupermart) targeting individual investors from around the world.
Broader Fintech Ecosystem
Expand the range of solutions offered and grow our network of business partners globally.
Embrace AI
Use AI to improve service quality, productivity, operational efficiency and long-term scalability, paving the way for improved profit margins.
Technology That Enables Scale
Technology has been central to iFAST's business since our establishment.
Our platforms and systems are largely developed through our in-house technology capabilities, allowing us to respond to the needs of customers, advisers, financial institutions and pension stakeholders across different markets.
We use technology to support investment transactions, banking services, pension administration, payments, reporting, customer service, regulatory requirements and operational processes.
Artificial intelligence is becoming an increasingly important part of this technology strategy. By applying AI across appropriate areas of the Group, we aim to enhance the customer experience, improve decision-making, increase productivity and enable our businesses to scale more efficiently.
Technology is not only a supporting function within iFAST. It is a core capability that connects our businesses and enables the continued development of our global financial ecosystem.
