Sea Limited has inaugurated its new global headquarters for digital financial services in Singapore, marking a significant milestone with the rebranding of SeaMoney to Monee. The announcement was made on 8 May 2025, with the opening ceremony officiated by Dr Tan See Leng, Minister for Manpower and Second Minister for Trade and Industry. The new headquarters, located at Rochester Commons, is set to become a hub for innovation and collaboration, accommodating over 1,000 professionals with a capacity for up to 1,500.
The rebranding to Monee signifies a strategic move to enhance trust and accessibility in financial services. Forrest Li, Chairman and CEO of Sea, stated, “Whilst Monee is already one of the largest digital financial services businesses in our region, I believe we are only seeing the start of its potential.” The rebrand aims to reflect the company’s mission to improve the lives of consumers and small businesses through technology.
The new headquarters will house Monee’s Centres of Excellence, focusing on product management, artificial intelligence, and anti-money laundering. It features over 100 collaborative meeting rooms, innovation spaces, and facilities designed to promote employee well-being. Monee, since its inception in 2014, has grown to become a major digital financial platform in Southeast Asia, offering services such as mobile wallets, payment processing, and digital banking.
The establishment of a digital banking group under MariBank further underscores Monee’s commitment to expanding financial access across the region. This development is poised to strengthen Monee’s position as a leader in digital financial services, fostering greater financial inclusion and accessibility.
