Singapore, Singapore -- (SBWIRE) -- 05/31/2022 -- Singapore continues to prove its position as a vital centre for fintech in the APAC region, attracting a wealth of investment and incubating some exciting enterprises. Aquariux, which is based in Singapore is one of those enterprises, a fintech start-up that has recently announced an opportunity for significant growth. The start-up revealed in April that it has raised US$2.2 million in pre-seed money from private investors, capital that the company plans to use to expand its workforce beyond the current team of 30 employees. Aquariux was established back in October 2020 and its business is focused on tech solutions in payments and trading, among other areas. It also provides a range of other services, including blockchain integration. In addition to the investment capital, the start-up also announced Kelvin Chia as its CEO. Chia brings more than a decade of building business strategy, subscription revenue, and B2B customer ecosystems that will be vital to Aquariux as the business develops.
