Singapore, December 4, 2020 – Sea Limited (NYSE: SE) (“Sea” or the “Company”) today announced that it has been selected for the award of a license to operate a digital full bank in Singapore.

Its digital bank will draw on insights about the needs of these users from across Sea’s digital ecosystem to innovate processes, products, and services that will improve the lives of young consumers and SMEs in Singapore and support the growth of the country’s digital economy by reducing the barriers to accessing financial services through technology.
