F10, supported by Swiss stock exchange operator SIX as well as Julius Baer and R3, will work with PwC Singapore to develop an accreditation program for fintechs that join its incubator and acceleration program.

The accreditation program aims to boost fintech adoption and lend credibility to the startups as they would be vetted across four key areas including compliance, their business model, team talent and financials, F10 explained in an announcement.
