Money20/20 Executive Sundown

‍

This year's MONEY20/20 Asia show at Queen Sirikit National Convention Center (QSNCC) saw leaders, executives and critical personnel from the global payments industry gather for the biggest Fintech networking event in Asia. 

‍

Our private Executive Sundown — led by our CEO, Frederick Chung and CRO David Haynes, alongside UpPass CEO Palm Norchoovech— brought together a selected group of banking professionals for open, peer-to-peer dialogues across fraud, risk, compliance, and digital transformation.

‍

Among those in attendance were executives from Bangkok Bank, Siam Commercial Bank, Kasikornbank, Kiatnakin Phatra Bank, Krungsri Bank, Krung Thai Bank, alongside leaders from digital fintech platforms such as Omise, Bitkub, and Rabbit Cash.

‍

Here were some of the takeaways from the event:

The Rise of Embedded Finance

Financial services are increasingly being woven directly into non-financial platforms and ecosystems, blurring the lines between traditional banking and everyday consumer experiences.

‍

AI at the Forefront of Digital Payments

AI is becoming increasingly embedded within every segment of the payment gateway ecosystem, from handling transactions, mitigating risks, to incident response. 

‍

Emphasis on Interoperability

Data siloes and fragmented departments plague our current models of operations, with experts increasingly proposing more unified approaches in handling payment journeys.

‍

Evolving Compliance Complexity

Regulatory frameworks and compliance measures are constantly adapting to an increasingly digital environment, prompting the necessity of new approaches and solutions.

Our CEO Frederick Chung, CRO David Haynes and the Thai team spent this opportunity to learn and share from the best in the industry, fortifying connections that will help decide the future of the digital banking industry in Southeast Asia and beyond.
