About Us

ACI Singapore – The Financial Markets Association (formerly known as the Forex Association of Singapore) has undergone significant changes in recent years to structural changes taking place in the financial market. In July, 1998, the Association was officially renamed ACI Singapore - The Financial Markets Association, to become the standard bearer for financial markets' professionals in Singapore.

The Association was formed in 1973 and is today 35 years young. During this period, Singapore emerged as a leading financial centre in the world. ACI Singapore now serves about 500 members.

ACI Singapore is affiliated to ACI - The Financial Markets Association, the global umbrella body of national associations. The Paris-based body, founded as Association Cambiste Internationale, has more than 13,000 members worldwide in more than 80 countries. This makes ACI the largest international association in the wholesale financial markets. ACI - The Financial Markets Association was founded in France in 1955 following an agreement between foreign exchange dealers in Paris and London.

ACI Singapore seeks to add value to the industry and its members by promoting continuous education and social awareness. The Association partners Monetary Authority of Singapore in manpower training matters -- Settlements Operations Training Course and Middle Office Training Course. We were a member of the Institute of Banking & Finance’s training and assessment industry feedback panel in the formulation of Financial Industry Competencies and Standards. We are now a partner of FTI@SMU in providing ops training to the financial sector.

For 15 years, we have been raising funds for the needy in society in our annual Charity Golf tournaments. This charity drive is well recognised and actively supported by our fellow members, the dealing fraternity and financial institutions.
