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 on-boarding 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’. Today, we see technology impacting fiercely our world of payments. Better infrastructures, ‘open-banking’ with API’s, new customer engagement with blockchain and even the next-gen quantum technology will align developments even more. We are all looking at scale and efficiency, but also easy-of-use and a truly global access of services to enhance the user experience. Cooperation between key stakeholders in the national and global transaction space will be key to secure best-of-class developments.

At GPS 2018 we blend-in the key lessons learned from global best practices. Offering you as professional the opportunity to experience proven international innovative concepts that will impact your local market(s).
