BANGKOK, THAILAND — 14 February 2025 — The global fintech community will turn its focus to Bangkok this April as Money20/20 Asia unveils its official agenda for its highly anticipated 2025 edition. Set to take place from April 22 to 24 at the Queen Sirikit National Convention Center (QSNCC), the event promises a comprehensive look into the forces shaping the next era of digital finance.
Centred around five core pillars—collaboration, security, frictionless user experiences, sustainability, and emerging technologies—the agenda highlights the critical themes where convergence between innovation and regulation will define the industry’s path forward.
The conference will host an influential roster of speakers and attendees from major financial institutions and technology providers. Senior leaders from regional and global banks such as JP Morgan, HSBC, Standard Chartered, Maybank, Kasikorn Bank, National Australia Bank, and Ambank Group are expected to participate. They will be joined by key figures in the payments ecosystem including Mastercard, VISA, TransferMate, Block, Worldpay, SeaMoney, and Terrapay.
Cross-border payments, a fast-growing segment within Asia’s fintech scene, will also feature prominently. Companies such as AirWallex, GCash, Goto, Wise, Nium, and LianLian Global will take the stage to explore market potential, challenges, and the latest solutions redefining financial connectivity across borders.
In a move signalling deeper collaboration between government and industry, this year’s programme includes notable participation from regulators across the region. Deputy governors and senior executives from the Bank of Thailand, Bank Negara Malaysia, Bangko Sentral ng Pilipinas, Hong Kong Monetary Authority, and Thailand’s Securities and Exchange Commission will headline discussions on public-private partnerships and regional policy development.
“Bangkok will be the epicentre of fintech innovation this April as Money20/20 Asia convenes regulators and industry leaders to explore the future of banking and cross-border payments. Our most ambitious agenda to date emphasises purposeful innovation and provides a unique platform for collaboration. We’re excited to facilitate the conversations that will define the next chapter of fintech in one of the world’s fastest-growing regions.” – Ian Fong, VP of Content, Money20/20 Asia.
