In the quest to best demonstrate the real-world challenges of everyday transactions, Money20/20 and Fintech Finance are, once again, putting regional financial systems to the test. This time we are taking on Southeast Asia.

Starting in Hong Kong on 10th March with final destination the Money20/20 keynote stage at the Marina Bay Sands hotel, our 5 intrepid contenders had one goal: to be crowned the Payments Race Champion.

Sound easy, right? Well, this is the catch: Each racer was only allowed to use a single form of payment for the duration of the race to pay for their travel and expenses.

Did you miss their adventures? Don't worry, watch the highlights of The Payments Race Asia 2018 here
