Aligning Real Time Payments
– Towards Seamless Interoperability
As central banks in the region continue with cashless initiatives, further collaborations on real time cross border funds transfer could become a reality. Regulators are also driving standardisation to encourage innovation, so the prospect of regional alignment is getting stronger. This could herald the advent of a fully interoperable, standardised payments system. Pan-regional mobile payment wallets will make way for a less fragmented payment ecosystem, furthering Financial Inclusion and making us less dependent on cash. At GPS 2019, we look at the latest national developments in e-payments as well as the larger, cross-border regional platforms that are transforming the Asian payments landscape.
GPS 2019 Key Topics Include:
- Regulatory Challenges in Emerging Markets (central bank panel)
- eKYC and Biometric Authentication
- Digital Only Banks – Creating Revenue via Data-Driven Products
- QR Codes Standardization
- Social Commerce Platforms
- The Big Deal – How Would You Transform a Bank?
- Harmonization in Cross Border Payments
- Rural and Regional Banks in Indonesia – Digital Transformation
- Fintech Regulation in Southeast Asia – Beyond the Sandbox
- Digital Financial Inclusion – Improving Lives
