Move 78 and Data Republic Announce Strategic Partnership  

Strategic partnership for US Fintechs to enter Southeast Asian markets

Singapore and Sydney (May 14th, 2020) Move 78 Pte Ltd (Move 78), APAC’s leading fintech advisory firm, today announced that it has partnered with Data Republic, the leading platform and network for data collaboration. The partnership will provide Move 78’s clients unparalleled access to Southeast Asia’s institutional business community’s client data sets for regional POCs and business case validation.

Data Republic’s pioneering technology allows companies to collaborate on data with prospective partners, including across borders. It enables enterprise organisations to preserve the privacy of highly sensitive data, while providing access to companies to build/test live proof of concepts and pilots. 

Scott Albin, Data Republic’s Head of Ecosystem Services, commented, “Organisations in Singapore are eager to work with fintechs from around the world but struggle with the security, compliance and privacy challenges of enabling access to their sensitive data. As the leading data collaboration platform, we solve this challenge for fintechs, enabling more realistic proof of concepts using real data, which leads to faster commercial deals.”

“Data Republic’s extensive existing network platform (especially in Singapore) has laid the foundation that will enable our clients to gain access and demonstrate their capabilities on live, anonymised data for their prospective institutional partners. With Data Republic we identify, qualify and help commercialize these opportunities for our US clients,” added Mariko Braswell, Co-Founder and CEO of Move 78.

Both companies will focus their initial efforts in the Singaporean market and utilize the nation-state as a beach head across the APAC region.  The network today already consists of APAC’s leading banks, insurance companies, sovereign wealth funds, telcos, and health companies.
