Deputy Prime Minister and Chairman of the Monetary Authority of Singapore (MAS) Gan Kim Yong addressed the safety of digital banking services for minors under 16.
Bank accounts for minors can only be opened by parents, either as joint accounts or accounts solely in the child’s name.
Measures include lower daily transaction limits, monitoring tools for parents, and security measures such as real-time alerts and mechanisms to prevent unauthorized transactions.
The upcoming Shared Responsibility Framework will ensure banks compensate scam victims and outline investigation timelines for fraudulent activity.
