DBS Bank and Nest Launch DBS Accelerator Program Format

With an evolving FinTech landscape that is rapidly maturing into the mainstream, DBS Bank (Hong Kong) and Nest, a global innovation platform supporting entrepreneurs, are enabling startup success with a dynamic new “always-on” DBS Accelerator programme format.

DBS Accelerator aims to better embed new FinTech technologies in banks by creating opportunities for innovators from across Asia and around the world to transform the digital agenda. Now in its third year, the programme is a key go-to hub in Hong Kong for startups with the vision and potential to shape the future of finance with innovative FinTech solutions.

Under the new “always-on” programme format, DBS Accelerator will host startups year round to continuously help strengthen the bank’s key transformational journey, which will be refreshed throughout the year. Participating startups will have the chance to explore collaborative opportunities with the bank. The first batch of startups will be focused on impactful ways to enhance the customer’s digital journey, the bank’s risk management, as well as cryptocurrency, blockchain and cybersecurity.
