A Blueprint for Asia's Human-Centric Payment Ecosystems

Asia’s payments landscape is shifting from digitising transactions to building intelligent, human-centric financial ecosystems. This keynote panel examines how the next decade of inclusion, resilience, and cross-border connectivity will be driven by collaboration across public and private payment networks. It explores how commercial networks are evolving into intelligence layers—leveraging AI, hybrid cloud, tokenised value, and APIs—working alongside RTGS, fast payment systems, QR linkages, and emerging CBDC corridors to create secure, interoperable environments across ASEAN.
