FSTI 3.0 — ESG FinTech Grant

The ESG FinTech Grant sits under the Monetary Authority of Singapore's FSTI 3.0 programme and is designed to help the financial sector build technology around ESG data, infrastructure, capital mobilisation to sustainable activity, and net-zero tracking. It is aimed at Singapore-based financial institutions, market and professional organisations, industry consortiums, and non-FI solution providers, with non-FI applicants required to include at least one participating financial institution. The scheme is part of the broader Financial Sector Development Fund and has been extended until 16 July 2026. MAS funds up to 50% of qualifying expenses, with a cap of SGD 500,000 over 18 months. Eligible work spans ESG RegTech, ESG Risk and InsurTech, Carbon Services, ESG Investment Management, ESG Lending, and ESG Payments. The application route is rolling, and projects need a strong nexus to Singapore's ESG FinTech ecosystem, with submissions due at least three months before commencement. The strongest fit is a project that can point to a defined operational problem in Singapore and a credible deployment path, rather than a broad sustainability concept. MAS is looking for work that can be used by the financial sector, so the proposal has to show the participating institutions, the qualifying cost base, and the market use case with enough clarity to justify public co-funding. Teams that can connect ESG reporting, risk, or financing workflows to a live Singapore implementation are best placed to succeed.

Each grant below is a distinct funding opportunity with its own eligibility, scope, and deliverables.
