"Money20/20 Asia is where Asia does business. The record attendance we're seeing, combined with our relentless focus on quality - of audience, conversations, content, and experience - is translating into real partnerships and outcomes for the leaders shaping the future of financial services in the region. It's why we are firmly established as Asia's #1 quality fintech show." said Danny Levy, Money20/20's Executive Vice President & Managing Director for Money20/20 Asia and Middle East.
AI, cross?border payments, digital banking, and the accelerating rise of digital assets, including stablecoins, tokenisation, and CBDCs shaped the headline sessions at Money20/20 Asia. Leaders from global banks, fintechs, and regulators unpacked these themes across discussions on trust in banking, invisible finance, intelligent infrastructure, the future of digital banks, and ASEAN's sustainability transition.
"Our goal is not just to digitise finance, but to humanise it," said Daranee Saeju, Assistant Governor, Bank of Thailand, reinforcing the event's focus on people?centred innovation and trusted digital ecosystems.
These themes came to life across the agenda's most talked about sessions. On Day 1, Technology, Trust and the Future of Banking in Asia brought together Scarlett Sieber of Money20/20 and Kattiya Indaravijaya of KASIKORNBANK to explore how modern infrastructure and AI?driven intelligence are redefining trust and resilience in banking. "Uncertainty is a new normal. Banking will exist, but the way banks have to do the business will totally change," said Kattiya Indaravijaya, Chief Executive Officer, KASIKORNBANK.
Day 2 spotlighted the rapid evolution of digital assets with The Rise of Blockchain and Stablecoin Payment Rails, featuring leaders from Uquid, Pantera Capital, VelaFi, and Trace Finance in a forward looking discussion on next?generation cross?border payment rails. On Day 3, The New Paradigm of Cross?Border Money Flows and International Expansion saw speakers from Money20/20, TenPay Global (Tencent), Fiserv, and Ant International unpack how Asia's payment giants are building interoperable, multi?rail systems to power global expansion.
Along with KASIKORNBANK, the programme saw strong participation from leading global and regional banks, with senior executives from Standard Chartered, Deutsche Bank, J.P. Morgan, Citi, and DBS Bank present across the three days.
FXC Intelligence and Money20/20 presented new findings from The New Era of Asia's Cross?Border Payments, underscoring Asia's rapid growth, rising interoperability, and the convergence of key technologies shaping cross?border finance. The Press Lunch additionally marked the debut of Money20/20's new book, The New Intersection of Money - Where TradFi and DeFi Converge, exploring how traditional and decentralised finance are now co?creating the future of financial services.
Money20/20 Asia spotlighted five rising startups Boost Capital, TrustPlus AI, Continuum, Eazy Digital, and zkMe, Money20/20's Startup pitch winner during its Startup Media Panel. The show also hosted the Startup and Investor Park, where APAC startups met global investors and competed for a Golden Ticket to the 2026 Startupbootcamp Sustainability Singapore Accelerator. The program supports founders with pitching opportunities, investor access, and pathways to scale across Asia's fast-growing fintech markets.
Policy20 at Money20/20 Asia 2026 brought together more than 80 of Asia's top policymakers, regulators, and industry leaders to address the rise of sovereign intelligence in global finance. In a closed door Governors' and Chairs' Roundtable, participants aligned on three priorities: embedding regional values into global standards, building harmonised but sovereignty?respecting cross?border rails, and advancing intelligence?led governance through AI and real?time data.
After a highly successful third year in Bangkok, Money20/20 has confirmed its return to the Queen Sirikit National Convention Center in April 2027.
