Regulatory Notice

This notice explains what Factarize Pte. Ltd. ("Factarize") does and does not do, and the basis on which the information on this Site is provided. It applies to the whole Site, including the pages describing our services and investment activity.

1. What Factarize does

Factarize is an operator-led technology company. It makes selective investments of its own capital in technology companies, and contributes commercial judgment and operating experience alongside that capital. Its work consists of assessing markets and technologies, commercial and product strategy, partnership development, rights and IP strategy, and technical evaluation.

Factarize does not carry on any regulated activity. In particular, and without limitation, Factarize does not:

  • deal in, or facilitate the exchange of, digital tokens;
  • accept, transmit, or arrange the transmission of digital tokens or of any money;
  • hold, safeguard, or exercise control over any digital token, digital token instrument, private key, or client asset, at any time;
  • convert digital tokens into fiat currency, or fiat currency into digital tokens, for any client or other person;
  • operate any token sale, offering, exchange, or marketplace;
  • manage assets, money, or investments belonging to any other person; or
  • provide financial advice, or advice on any capital markets product, to any person.

Where a company Factarize works with or invests in carries on any of the above, that activity is carried on by that company under its own licences, registrations or exemptions where these are required. Factarize contributes capital, infrastructure and commercial judgment; the company operates its own business and is responsible for its own regulatory position.

Third-party funds and third-party tokens do not pass through Factarize at any point. Where a project involves the movement of money or of tokens, that movement is between the company concerned, its own payment providers or custodians, and its end users. Factarize is not a party to it and does not at any time hold or control the assets involved.

2. Not licensed or regulated by MAS

Factarize is not licensed, registered, approved, regulated or supervised by the Monetary Authority of Singapore ("MAS"), and does not hold any capital markets services licence, financial adviser's licence, payment services licence, or digital token service provider licence. MAS has not reviewed, endorsed or approved this Site or any of its contents.

It is not an offer of any investment opportunity, not an invitation to invest in or alongside Factarize, and not a solicitation of funds from any person.

Submitting information to us creates no obligation on either side.
