iWise Group (IWG)

The Group was founded in 2016 by a team that has managed national credit bureau projects in ASEAN and also worked on similar projects with World Bank and the Asian Development Bank. On 26th February 2017, IWG officially inked an International Strategic Partnership Framework Agreement with its Chongqing partners at a Signing Ceremony for Cooperation Projects witnessed by Singapore’s Minister Chan Chun Sing. The ceremony is part of the Chongqing Connectivity Initiative (CCI), which was launched in November 2015, is the third Singapore-China government-led project. The CCI is aimed at enhancing connectivity in the areas of finance, aviation, transport and logistics, and information technology. IWG was the only Information & Communications Technology firm present at the Signing Ceremony and was held alongside the 13th Joint Council for Bilateral Cooperation (JCBC) - the highest-level bilateral forum between Singapore and China. IWG recognizes how digital technologies are changing the way we live, work, consume and create. The team began by dramatically improving and changing the way global data is distributed, insights being discovered, and information consumed. Its initial focus centered on providing business information for due diligence checks before venturing into data verification products. Presently, it is advising central banks in data, KYC and AML strategies. Consistently, as a team, we are working to exploit rapid digitalization of industries whilst recognizing the disruption of value chains, alteration of industry structures and redefinition of the rules of competition globally being an inevitable path. IWG is also leveraging artificial intelligence technology, blockchain technology, machine learning, statistical modelling and web interface designing as it moves into the space of developing digital assets trading platforms with a view towards enhancing alternative financial services in the non-bank world.
