Woori Bank, one of South Korea's leading financial institutions, was embarking on an enlightening journey to Singapore. This 3-day, 2-night Singapore Banking & Fintech Exploratory Program, organized by Flying Chalks, is meticulously designed to offer participants an in-depth understanding into Singapore's dynamic banking landscape. As the Global Financial Centres Index (GFCI) recently recognized Singapore as Asia's premier financial hub, surpassing Hong Kong, the city-state stands as a beacon of financial expertise and innovation.
The primary objective of this customized program is to immerse Woori Bank's delegates in the thriving financial ecosystem of Singapore. By engaging with top-tier banks and renowned FinTech companies, the participants gained invaluable insights into cutting-edge financial practices and technologies. Moreover, this study tour opened avenues for exploring potential business opportunities and fostering collaborations, thereby strengthening Woori Bank's strategic foothold in the global financial arena.
The companies to which we arranged the study tour included:
1. Wise

Listed on the London Stock Exchange, Wise has cemented its status as one of the largest and most influential FinTech companies in the world. With its five main offices worldwide, Wise continues to push the boundaries of financial technology and disrupt traditional models. The Singapore office, one of Wise's pivotal hubs, plays a crucial role in its global operations; this strategically located office not only oversees regional activities but also contributes significantly to the company's overall growth and innovation strategies.

The visit to the three companies was significant for gaining comprehensive insights into the forefront of financial technology and innovation in Singapore.
