Our introductory video, specially commissioned for the Singapore FinTech Festival.
Ethikom was derived by a play of the words "ethics" and "compliance" - two critical factors for financial services firms.
Our logo is inspired from the Indonesian "tikar", a woven mat made from dried leaves. The logo underscores the strong interplay of different success factors in determining the success of an organisation, including having good governance, risk management, compliance and a strong ethical foundation.
