Singapore FinTech Festival 2026: Dates, Pass Prices, Venue & Who Should Attend

Singapore FinTech Festival 2026 runs from 18 to 20 November at Singapore EXPO, with the wider festival week beginning on 16 November. Here are the current pass prices and practical differences.

When and where is SFF 2026?

The main Singapore FinTech Festival 2026 takes place from 18 to 20 November at Singapore EXPO, Halls 1–6. The wider festival week begins earlier, with senior-level Insights2040 Annual Meetings scheduled at Sands Expo and Convention Centre on 16–17 November.

SFF is organised by the Monetary Authority of Singapore and the Global Finance & Technology Network, in collaboration with The Association of Banks in Singapore. For most public and business attendees, the three EXPO days are the core dates to plan around.

Current pass prices

The current official FAQ lists the Executive Pass at S$6,000, Delegate Pass at S$1,500, Startup Pass at S$650 and MeetUp Pass at S$380. Group Delegate pricing is also available: the festival currently lists S$1,050 per pass for teams of three to five and S$800 per pass for groups of 10 or more.

Some professional categories, including qualifying policy, academic or trade participants, can have different access routes. Do not buy the most expensive pass by default; compare the official access table against the sessions and networking you actually need.

Which pass makes sense for you?

The Delegate Pass is the broad all-round option for premium content, SFF MeetUp and SFF After Hours. The Startup Pass is aimed at eligible young companies and keeps the price lower while retaining substantial festival access. The MeetUp Pass is more targeted at people whose main reason for attending is scheduled one-to-one meetings and the exhibition.

The Executive Pass adds the senior-level Insights2040 programme, Executive Lounge and concierge-style networking. It is a very different product from simply “a better Delegate ticket”, so it only makes sense if those executive features match your role and objectives.

What is on the 2026 programme?

The 2026 theme is The Coming Rewiring of the Financial System: New Risks. New Rules. New Growth. The programme is organised around five forces: technology, geoeconomics, capital, talent and policy. Across the EXPO halls, the festival includes conference stages, an exhibition, networking programmes and founder/investor activity.

Technology sessions include AI, cyber resilience, quantum and emerging financial infrastructure. Capital programming includes the Founders Stage, investor hours and the Global FinTech Hackcelerator. If you are attending for work, identify your two or three highest-value tracks before the event rather than wandering the exhibition without a plan.

How SFF MeetUp works

SFF MeetUp uses scheduled 15-minute one-to-one meetings that proceed only when both participants agree. The official networking page says meetings run during the three EXPO days and are included with several pass types, including Executive, Delegate, Startup and MeetUp.

For founders and job-seekers, this structure can be more valuable than passive conference attendance. Prepare a concise objective for each meeting. Investor and mentor office hours are also scheduled during the festival for focused conversations on fundraising, product fit, sales, careers and related topics.

Getting to Singapore EXPO

Singapore EXPO is at 1 Expo Drive. The official venue guide points attendees to Expo MRT station (CG1/DT35), served by the East-West and Downtown lines. The venue is one MRT stop from Changi Airport and has multiple bus services and more than 1,600 parking lots.

Because SFF attracts a large international crowd, public transport is usually the simplest option during peak arrival and departure times. Badge-collection details and final hall-access timings may be updated closer to the event, so check the official FAQ again in November.
