As we wave goodbye to 2023, we would like to reflect on some of the key happenings that defined this past year. With immense gratitude, we extend our heartfelt appreciation to our stakeholders – be it clients, partners, or M-DAQer – for standing by us in our journey.

Forging Partnerships, Amplifying Reach

Back in February, we inked a strategic partnership with TSFC Securities Thailand, setting the stage for an innovative multi-currency solution powered by our Trading the Right Chart ^TM  (TRC) solution. With the solution, Thai investors would be able to purchase overseas securities and mutual funds in Thai Baht without holding or converting into a foreign currency.

Moving on to November, we kicked off a feasibility study in partnership with Fukuoka Stock Exchange on the implementation of the Fukuoka TRC to enable investors outside of Japan to trade in their preferred currency.

ESG Initiatives: Incremental Change, Unfolding Impact

As a growing company, we firmly believe that lasting positive change stems from the accumulation of small, purposeful steps where the journey to a better world begins with the first step, no matter how small.

In May, we announced our pledge to achieve net-zero emissions for scope 1 and 2 carbon emissions by end of 2023. As a recognition of our dedication in tracking carbon emissions, we officially joined the LowCarbonSG programme in October. Helmed by UN GlobalCompact Network Singapore and supported by the National Environment Agency and Enterprise Singapore, this initiative not only acknowledges our ongoing decarbonisation efforts but also serves as a significant milestone in our sustainability journey.

But that’s not all - at M-DAQ, we are also on a mission to give back to the community we serve. In June, our employees spent a rewarding day volunteering at a local charity food kitchen, creating tangible impact where it mattered most. Fast forward to December, we rounded off the year with an annual beach cleanup day, making a small yet purposeful stride towards creating a sustainable, greener future for all.

Engaging Global Players, Eliminating Borders

Beyond navigating the fintech landscape, we also aspire to shape it by transcending borders for impactful collaborations. Our journey took us to international events including City-Tech Tokyo and Korea Fintech Week, where we showcased our solutions and immersed ourselves in dynamic dialogues with global industry players. Back on our home turf, we were also part of the Singapore FinTech Festival by hosting our Innovation Lab Crawl webinar that unveiled the latest trends and opportunities in eCommerce industry.

These are merely glimpses of the strides we’ve made in 2023. As we look forward to a new year filled with promise, our commitment to supporting businesses in seamless cross-border transactions remains unwavering. For those interested to join forces with us to eliminate currency borders, please reach us at sales@m-daq.com.

Here's to a new chapter sparked by continuous innovation and collaboration!
