ABOUT the hackathon

NUS Fintech Summit hackathon is a 3-week innovation and development competition consisting of three main rounds, open to mainly university and tertiary students. Participants will not only need to come up with the most relevant and creative solutions in the finance industry but also produce elegant applications that are in line with current business challenges. 

The theme for this year will revolve around "Fintech As A Service" and for the purpose of the hackathon, we define Fintech as a Service (FaaS) as a means to provide interoperable solutions to embed financial-related capabilities into existing applications, products, and services.
