🇸🇬 Built for Singapore & APAC payments compliance

Compliance tooling built
for APAC payment teams

ISO 20022, MAS PSA, AML screening, cross-border rails, vendor risk — all in one platform purpose-built for Singapore and the wider APAC region.

Built by someone who's done this job

PayOpsApp is built by a product manager with 16 years in banking, working hands-on with SWIFT messaging, AML compliance, and ISO 20022 migrations. The tools here come from firsthand operational experience — the problems he actually had to solve on the job — not a generic SaaS feature checklist built by people who've never worked payments ops.

AML / Sanctions17 Aug

FATF's comment window on how banks should actually apply the tougher R.16 payment-transparency rule is now down to its final four days

The draft implementation guidance behind June 2025's revised Recommendation 16 stays open only until 21 August, and FATF has said explicitly it wants worked-example pushback from payment operators, not restated policy positions from trade bodies. Compliance and payments-ops teams sitting on unflagged corridor-specific edge cases should treat this week, not the 21st itself, as their real internal deadline.
