Southeast Asia has emerged as a Fintech Hotspot and a recent digital economy report indicates huge growth opportunity for digital financial services in the region.

Recognising this huge potential in the FinTech sector, TRADEPASS is bringing the 6th Edition World Financial Innovation Series to ASEAN on the 7–8 April 2021.

Focused on the theme, ‘Revolutionizing Banking and Financial Services in ASEAN’, World Financial Innovation Series 2021: LIVE — ASEAN will bring together 1500+ participants including BFSI leaders, key decision makers, c-level experts/influencers from 200+ top organisations and government authorities along with 20+ world-class solution providers from the industry.

In South Asian countries like Indonesia, a number of technology firms have acquired small banks. This, in turn, has acted as a catalyst for fintech entrants to understand the potential and competition in the banking market in ASEAN.

With endless networking opportunities, the virtual summit is an unmissable event to learn about the latest FinTech developments, market dynamics, business issues and best practices that are critical to fuel the economies of the 10 countries.

“I am keen to explore some of the latest technologies and WFIS 2021: LIVE — ASEAN is definitely a good platform to help facilitate this”, says the CISO of Maybank, Mr. Marlon Sorongon.
