In Singapore, the MAS (Monetary Authority of Singapore) has given an exemption to SVF (Stored Value Facility) from the Payment Systems (Oversight) Act when the stored value outstanding are under a certain threshold. Currently that bar is set at $30 Million. MAS approval is required for the operator when the SVF exceeds the $30 Million mark, and hence changing its status from SVF to WA-SVF (Widely Accepted Stored Value Facility).
If you're under the limit, you are not required to get approval.
