🏦 MAS Singapore Financial Institutions Directory Scraper

⚡️ Every regulated financial institution in Singapore — banks, insurers, payment-service providers, capital-markets licensees, financial advisers, money changers — with their full licence breakdowns, key officers, and contact details. Fresh JSON / CSV / Excel in minutes.

🎯 What you get

Built on top of the MAS Financial Institutions Directory — Singapore's authoritative register of every entity the Monetary Authority of Singapore has licensed, exempted, recognised, or approved. ~5,000+ institutions across 48 licence categories.

Every record carries:

• 🏷️ Legal name, MAS ID, jurisdiction of incorporation
• 📜 Every licence the institution holds — not just the one you searched under. A "Full Bank" record will also show its capital-markets services, financial-adviser exemption, trust-company exemption, and SGS primary-dealer status, with the regulated sub-activities and product types under each licence.
• 👤 Key personnel — Chief Executive, CFO, Treasurer, Country Manager — with designations and named officers.
• 📞 Phone, address, website, Singapore postal code.
• ⏱️ Timestamped — know exactly when each record was pulled.

🚀 Quick start

1. Click Try for free above.
2. Tick the licence categories you care about — or leave the default to scrape every institution in the directory.
3. Hit Start.
4. Download the data as JSON, CSV, or Excel — or pull it from the Apify API.

That's it. No API keys, no proxy setup, no fiddling.

💡 Tips & tricks

• 🎯 Scrape one category at a time for cleaner CSV exports — every licence type has its own field structure.
• 🏎️ Capital Markets Services Licensee is the largest category (1,500+ records). Bump concurrency to 10–15 for a fast sweep.
• 🔁 Re-run daily / weekly to catch new licensees and licence changes. The directory is the source of truth, updated by MAS itself.
• 📝 Open the dataset in Excel — the licence_names column gives you a comma-separated flat list, the nested licences column has full structure.

❓ FAQ

Q: Is the data official? Yes. It comes straight from the MAS Financial Institutions Directory at eservices.mas.gov.sg/fid — MAS's own regulatory register.

Q: How fresh is each run? Live. Every run hits the directory in real time — there is no intermediate cache.

Q: How big is a full sweep? Roughly 5,000 institutions across all 48 licence categories. A complete run takes 15–25 minutes at default concurrency.

Q: Can I get only new / changed records since yesterday? Use maxItems: 0 with a focused categories list — full sweeps are cheap. The directory itself does not expose per-record "last modified" timestamps.

Q: Does this cover Investor Alert List entries (warning list)? No — that's a separate MAS dataset. Open an issue if you'd like a companion actor.
