MAS

MAS (Monetary Authority of Singapore) is Singapore's central bank and financial regulator, established in 1971. It manages monetary policy, banking regulation, and the entire financial services sector under one roof. Thanks to Singapore's status as a regional financial hub, MAS licensing stands out as one of the most valued regulatory approvals in the Asia-Pacific region. MAS requires brokers to maintain strong capital structures, hold segregated client accounts, and establish robust internal control mechanisms.
