Singapore: 190 financial practitioners recognised at Asia Pacific Financial Services Awards
Some 190 financial practitioners were recognised at the Asia Pacific Financial Services Awards held on 22 October 2021, as the organisation celebrates its 30th anniversary.
The annual APFinSA Awards recognises top financial services professionals not only in their respective countries but also across the Asia Pacific region.
All recipients of the APFinSA awards are licensed financial practitioners who belong to member organisations in APFinSA – the largest financial services council in Asia Pacific, represented by the respective national associations.
The annual APFinSA Awards was launched last year with two main categories of awards and three tiers under each category. The higher the award, the more lives the award recipients have secured and protected in the course of their work.

Kudos to financial practitioners and awardees
Guest of Honour Chee Hong Tat, Senior Minister of State for Transport, said, “In response to the Covid-19 pandemic, Singaporeans have adapted well to changes and equipped ourselves with skills for the new jobs created, including in our fast-growing financial sector.”
“While technology can improve work processes, all of us know that in this industry, nothing can replace the human touch. High tech still needs high touch.”
