###### Don't have FOMO.  Check out our Singapore FinTech Festival coverage:

We were honored to partner with the Monetary Authority of Singapore on their first week-long global [Singapore](https://www.fintechfestival.sg/) [FinTech Festival](https://www.fintechfestival.sg/) in November which coincided with our Singapore campus opening.  The Festival attracted more than 11,000 from all over the world.

To kick-off the event, we teamed up with [Startupbootcamp FinTech](https://www.startupbootcamp.org/accelerator/fintech-singapore/) to throw a FinTech hackathon.  Partners from companies such as [Xignite](http://www.xignite.com/), [Yodlee/Envestnet](https://www.yodlee.com/), [Quantopian](https://www.quantopian.com/), IBM, Mastercard and more sponsored, mentored, judged and added brainpower to the event.  Check out our video for hackathon coverage.
