Banking in on the best-of-class developments in payment

Today, technology is leaving a significant impact on the world of payments due to better infrastructures, ‘open-banking’ with application programming interface (API)’s, new customer engagement with blockchain and even the next-gen quantum technology.

Now in its sixth year, the Global Payment Summit (GPS) is an international event designed to provide payment and transaction professionals and consultants from around the world with a networking and educational experience. Delegates will learn directly from industry experts and peers about the latest thinking and developments in the ‘transaction space’.

With the theme of “Payments as a Global Village”, the event also features a full two-day programme featuring key developments ‘for professionals – by professionals’ in the payments/transaction space.

Global Payment Summit-Asia 2018 will take a new direction on-boarding creative initiatives starting with a special collaboration forged with PayNet Group, Malaysia’s payment system network and central infrastructure for financial markets.

They aim to deep-dive into key developments in the payments and transaction space by focusing on debate and discuss essentials on instant/faster payments, security issues, regulatory reform, easy x-border payments, efficient remittances solutions and other aspects within the industry.

Together with news and analysis provider ThePaypers, the summit will present the Florin Asia Innovation Awards which will recognise new and innovative payment solutions that secure immediate hassle-free transacting for payer and payee at a low cost.

Bringing together banks, regulators, providers, innovators and fintech players in payments, the summit blends in the key lessons learned from global best practices to offer professionals the opportunity to experience proven international innovative concepts that will impact local markets, along with networking opportunities with top relevant international experts and stakeholders.
