Made in Singapore: Future of Payments | Online
About this event
This event is part of Made in Singapore 2021, a two-week-long free virtual event series showcasing pioneers and dreamers reinventing the way we live, work, and play on our little red dot and beyond.
Singapore’s position at the forefront of digital financial technologies is not a novel phenomenon, but today, it might be better placed than ever to lead the region.
With Covid-19 acting as a catalyst for digitalization, firms, both traditional financial services players as well as leading retailers and technology companies alike, are competing to provide the lowest-cost remittances, highest-speed transitions, and most user-friendly interfaces. On the other side of the coin, ever more consumers readily embrace digital wallet services and mobile payments that support their lifestyle.
With the seemingly endless arrays of possibilities, from interoperable QR payments to central bank-backed digital currencies, on the horizon, Singapore is well on its way to accomplish the Smart Nation Vision and maintain its position as the financial heart of Asia.
We’ve assembled a panel of digital payments experts to discuss the current and future payments landscape of our little red dot. They’ll take a deep dive into the opportunities and challenges of Singapore’s digital payments ecosystem, the implications of a fully digital payment system for consumers and businesses, and emerging regional and global payment trends.
