  • 1. How the Company collects Personal Data of Individuals

    As a licensed and regulated financial service provider holding a Major Payment Institution (“MPI”) license issued by the Monetary Authority of Singapore (“MAS”), the Company is obliged to collect personal data from our prospects, customers, business partners (i.e. to do due diligence on ultimate beneficial owners, directors and ), before we do any on-boarding of customers i.e. account opening/registration, work with business partners, etc.

    Customer may give us information, including personal information when they sign up to use Skyee Services – Skyee onboarding form. This also includes information customer provide through the continued use of Skyee Services on Skyee’s Website through promotion or survey, and when customer report a problem with our Skyee Services (refer to Section 5 on Types of Information Collected).

    Skyee may also need additional commercial and/or identification information from customer e.g., where customer send or receive certain high-value or high-volume transactions or as needed to comply with Skyee’s anti-money laundering and countering the financing of terrorism (“AML/CFT”) obligations and review under applicable law.

    According to the MAS, financial institutions operating in Singapore are required to put in place robust controls to detect and deter the flow of illicit funds through Singapore’s financial system, i.e. to help fight money-laundering.

    The PDPA (together with its relevant regulations such as PDPR) provides the right for the Company to collect and process personal data when it is necessary to accurately establish or verify the identity of an individual to a high degree of fidelity where failure to accurately identify the individual would pose significant impact or harm to an individual and/or the organization. For example, the identity of an individual must be verified, particularly in the course of conducting Know Your Customer (“KYC”) checks to prevent fraudulent claims/activity in healthcare, financial or real estate matters.

    In order to provide guidance and compliance requirements on AML/CFT, MAS has issued AML/CFT notices and guidance papers. The Company as a MPI licence holder therefore needs to comply with Notice PSN01 Prevention of Money Laundering and Countering the Financing of Terrorism – Specified Payment Services (“PSN01”).

    The Company also collects personal data from employees as permissible by the PDPA and applicable laws i.e. Employment Act 1968. Under section 95 of the Employment Act 1968, all employers must maintain detailed employment records of employees covered by the Employment Act 1968, which includes employees’ NRIC number and other relevant information.
