🇸🇬🏦 Singapore MAS Financial Institutions Directory — Live Licence, Activity & Address Lookup

Look up the official Monetary Authority of Singapore (MAS) Financial Institutions Directory in real time. Give this Actor a name, licence type, or activity keyword — or a whole sector — and it queries eservices.mas.gov.sg/fid live, paginates the results, and returns each institution's licence type/status, full list of regulated activities, registered Singapore address, website, phone, key personnel, and incorporation status exactly as MAS publishes them today. On top of the live regulatory data it adds an optional curated enrichment overlay (parent company, AUM in SGD, business focus, MAS-licence inception year) for the major banks, CMS firms, and insurers — clearly labelled enrichment_source: "curated" so you always know what came straight from MAS versus what was enriched. It is purpose-built for KYC / AML onboarding, counterparty due diligence, regulatory mapping, and B2B targeting of Singapore's regulated financial sector.

This is genuinely live lookup across the MAS directory (~5,000 licensed financial institutions), not a static snapshot.

Use cases

• KYC / AML onboarding — verify a counterparty is a currently MAS-licensed institution, capture its exact licence types and regulated activities, and snapshot the registered address for your file.
• Counterparty & vendor due diligence — confirm what a Singapore entity is actually authorised to do (dealing in capital markets products, fund management, providing custodial services, advising on corporate finance, etc.) before signing.
• Regulatory mapping — enumerate every institution in a sector (Banking, Insurance, Payments, Capital Markets) to size a market or build a compliance universe.
• B2B sales & lead generation — build targeted lists of MAS-licensed banks, fund managers, insurers, or payment institutions with live contact details.
• RegTech / data pipelines — pipe live MAS directory data into your screening stack as a low-cost complement to Bloomberg / Refinitiv World-Check / BvD Orbis / LexisNexis Risk.

FAQ

Is this live data? Yes. The licence types, regulated activities, status, address, contact, key personnel, and incorporation are fetched live from the official MAS Financial Institutions Directory (eservices.mas.gov.sg/fid) at run time. Only the enrichment fields (parent company, AUM, business focus, inception year, HQ country) are curated, and they are explicitly labelled enrichment_source: "curated".

Is this the official MAS API? No. MAS does not offer a public API for the directory. This Actor reads the same server-rendered public directory pages a human would see at eservices.mas.gov.sg/fid, and structures them.

How do I list every institution in a sector? Set sector (e.g. "Banking", "Insurance", "Payments", "Capital Markets") and leave term empty. The Actor paginates the live results up to your limit.

Why are some enrichment fields null? The curated overlay only covers Singapore's major banks, CMS firms, and insurers. For the long tail of licensees, the live MAS fields are still fully populated; the enrichment fields are simply null and enrichment_source is null.

Is the data commercially usable? The MAS Financial Institutions Directory is a public regulatory register published by a Singapore government statutory body. Licence status, registered addresses, and regulated activities are public information. Confirm your specific redistribution use case with your legal team.
