Singapore will act as a key hub for United Fintech’s expansion in the region after establishing a presence in western markets.

«Strategically growing our physical footprint across the US, Europe and now Singapore, gives us the power and presence to deliver a truly global offering to our clients,» said United Fintech founder and CEO Christian Frahm. «While the world has become more used to a hybrid way of working, having key experts on the ground in the main financial services hubs across the world is critical to delivering the value our clients have come to expect from us.»

United Fintech was founded in 2020 with the aim of providing digital capital markets solutions. Its capabilities are powered by partner companies including NetDania, Athena, TTM zero and Fair Exchange.
