The Monetary Authority of Singapore (MAS) has taken decisive action against five major payment institutions, imposing composition penalties totalling $960,000 for breaches of anti-money laundering and countering the financing of terrorism requirements. The penalties, announced on 27 June 2025, target Remsea Pte Ltd, Arcade Plaza Traders Pte Ltd, J-Dee Remittance Services Pte Ltd, Mobile Community Tech Pte Ltd, and OxPay SG Pte Ltd.
MAS’s enforcement actions serve as a deterrent against misconduct and aim to maintain the integrity of Singapore as a financial centre. The authority evaluates the type of enforcement action based on the severity of the breach and its potential impact on the financial system.
The penalties highlight MAS’s commitment to stringent regulatory oversight and its zero-tolerance approach towards financial misconduct. By enforcing these measures, MAS seeks to uphold Singapore’s reputation as a secure and reliable financial hub.
For further details on the regulatory and enforcement actions, MAS directs interested parties to its Enforcement Actions page on their website. This move underscores the authority’s transparency and dedication to public accountability in its regulatory processes.
