Payments as a Global Village – Fostering Regional Solutions

It is a small world we are living in and globalization has made it even smaller!

Global Payment Summit-Asia 2018 takes a new direction onboarding creative initiatives starting with a special collaboration forged with PayNet Group, Malaysia’s premier payment system network and central infrastructure for financial markets. Together, we will deep-dive into key developments in the payments and transaction space. GPS will focus on debate and discuss essentials on instant/faster payments, security issues, regulatory reform, easy x-border payments, efficient remittances solutions and many more aspects within our ‘space’.

Have a look at our detailed program including plenary and track sessions. Our program is a living document and we continuously work on offering the best content with relevant topics, the right experts as speakers and creating room for relevant debates. If you have suggestions, please email direct to: harry@smorenberg.nl

Jointly with the Malaysian Association of Money Services Business, we will offer a special afternoon program tailored to address the key topics central to remittances. This professional update is open at a very special, low fee to members and non-members of MAMSB and registered delegates of GPS.
