The event is set to showcase speakers from the largest cross-section of experts and influencers from Asia, who will examine challenges and opportunities unique to each country, as well as the effects of changing technology and business models, more consumer choice and shifting profit margins. They’re bold, opinionated, and not afraid to shake up the status quo. 

Asia is one of the most exciting regions on the planet right now for fintech. Acknowledging its transformative role and the exciting developments it has jumpstarted, Tracey Davies, President, Money20/20, notes the need for a collaborative platform in facilitating its growth: “Asia is a diverse and dynamic region and we have seen it taking fintech forward at an unprecedented pace. Collaboration is key in accelerating fintech innovation and we are excited to create access and open opportunities for all, from the latest disruptors to the world’s largest incumbents.” 

Designed and curated to empower participants with actionable, hyper-local, and profitable insights, this year’s programme will champion ten key themes, including some of the hottest disruption battlegrounds driving Asia forward: Challenger Bank and Superapp Models, Social Seamless Retail, and Payments Wars.

This year, all four content stages, 160+ exhibitors and multiple networking zones, are brought together on one floor, a new format designed to allow attendees to learn, connect, and accelerate business—at speed.
