The AMTD Asean-Solidarity Fund is available via a grant or an investment to regional fintechs registered on the API Exchange Platform . APIX is an online global marketplace and sandbox for collaboration and sales.

It is to support proof-of-concept exercises conducted with Asean financial institutions on APIX. Details on applying through the association will be available soon.
