Previously, the regulatory framework for such arrangements depended on the type of entity that was delivering the service to customers in Singapore. Foreign branches of Singapore FIs in such arrangements were subject to more stringent conduct and representative requirements, compared to foreign related corporations (FRCs) of Singapore FIs in such arrangements. This has just changed.
