Licensing

The Monetary Authority of Singapore (MAS) regulates most aspects of financial licensing. A detailed list of rules and regulations governing each class of participant is included.

MAS issues conduct guidelines for financial advisers to ensure professional standards are upheld and to enhance confidence in the industry. While no official codes of conduct exist for representatives of other financial sectors, MAS expects all market participants to follow Banking Act provisions pertaining to conduct in areas such as money laundering, confidentiality and conflict of interest.

MAS also provide policies to banks undertaking a role in securitization transactions. Participating banks must obtain prior approval from MAS, and follow a set of procedures such as filing for disclosure and separation requirements. MAS requirements vary depending on the bank's role in the securitization transaction. Full details are provided at the links below.
