Singapore, 20 May 2026… The Monetary Authority of Singapore (MAS) has revoked the Major Payment Institution Licence of Bsquared Technology Pte Ltd (Bsquared) with effect from 14 May 2026. Bsquared is no longer permitted to provide digital payment token services in Singapore under the Payment Services Act 2019 (PS Act) from the same date.

2. Bsquared was licensed on 1 January 2025 to carry on digital payment token services. MAS’ onsite inspection of Bsquared in 2025 uncovered serious breaches by Bsquared of regulatory requirements. These included significant weaknesses in Bsquared’s risk management practices and conflict of interest policies, as well as failure to meet MAS’ Guidelines on Outsourcing in its arrangements with related entities. MAS also found that Bsquared had provided information to MAS that was false or misleading in material particulars on multiple occasions, from the time of its licence application up to and including during MAS’ inspection.

3. Bsquared’s activities while it was licensed were limited, and it has informed MAS that there are no outstanding customers’ monies or assets held by Bsquared. Bsquared is required to submit a closure certificate issued by its auditors under section 22(7) of the PS Act to confirm that all moneys received from customers have been received by the intended recipients of those moneys and adequate provision has been made to meet any unforeseen liabilities in respect of the regulated activities.

4. MAS takes a serious view of the breaches committed by Bsquared, and is reviewing the responsibilities of key officers of Bsquared. Entities that breach regulatory requirements or provide inaccurate information to MAS will face consequences.

Addendum (16 July 2026): The earlier reference to “BSQ” has been replaced with “Bsquared” to avoid potential confusion with other unrelated regulated entities with the same acronym in their registered names.
