Fintech firms from Airwallex to Revolut are on hiring spree in Singapore amid AI-driven boom

These companies are looking to fill roles in product, engineering and design, among others

Fintech firms including Airwallex and Revolut are aggressively hiring in Singapore due to the AI-driven boom. While fears of job losses from rapid AI adoption have surfaced, these companies are expanding their workforce to leverage AI capabilities. Airwallex aims to double its Singapore headcount to nearly 800 by 2026, focusing on product, engineering, design, and AI-driven functions.

Revolut, Singapore's headcount nearly doubled to over 300 by 2025, targeting further growth as AI increasingly supports product development and business operations. Other firms like YouTrip and domestic payment platform Marco Polo Marine are also expanding their Singapore teams to capitalize on AI's ability to free up talent for higher-value work.

The shift in hiring priorities reflects a growing emphasis on critical thinking, domain expertise, adaptability, and problem-solving in the fintech sector.
