2019: FinTech and Next-Gen Banks

 [FinTech World Forum | FTWF]( FinTech and Next-Gen Banks China has been at the forefront of fintech growth and is the largest fintech market in the world. In terms of investments.China’s leadership in fintech is not surprising. Fintech lets it leapfrog over traditional banking systems emblematic of developed nations because Chinese financial services were not well-developed. This opened up an opportunity for tech companies such as Alibaba and Tencent to offer financial services. Now, most Chinese transact through mobile phones. Also, the regulatory environment in China is less constraining towards fintechs compared to the West, which also boosts fintech firms. The FinTech World Forum ( BEIJING | October 24-25, 2019 | VISIT [Event Website]( ) will bring together the FinTech ecosystem, help build relationships, share knowledge, and create business opportunities. The multi-format conference will cover technology topics such as authentication, advanced sensors, digital and mobile payments, APIs, blockchain, big data and learning machines, as well as case studies and panels in consumer banking, corporate banking, financial markets, and insurance. The FTWF explores current trends and expanding, new market opportunities in the financial services sector.

These challengers, spurred by consumer dissatisfaction with the incumbents are charging zero or low fees and offering faster services and better user experience, while saving the costs of running physical branches. • Blockchain in Finance Adopting blockchain across industries can bring a lot of benefits. When it comes to FinTech, it is safe to predict that it is becoming a core technology in the industry. We are no longer associating blockchain with only stablecoins, but rather try to leverage DLT to its most advantage. In order to do that, we need to understand the rationale behind blockchain, enhance the literacy and utilise the power across all industries. • Payments & Remittances Big banks and credit card companies dominance in the payment industry have been increasingly threatened by tech companies and businesses that are leveraging the prominence of smartphones. Although payment behaviour is harder to change, the disruptions are patiently accelerating. Where does the future lie? • InsurTech McKinsey predicts Asia-pacific will account for nearly 50% of top line gross written premium growth in the upcoming years; China alone represents 25% of global market growth with the world’s most valuable insurer Ping An as a successful example. On-demand and peer-to-peer models, use of AI and big data are reimagining the way insurance is both offered and consumed. What will be insurance’s biggest challenges in the years to come? • WealthTech & InvestTech Today we have over 600 WealthTech players worldwide, encouraging broader society to invest in innovative manners. The industry has over $6Bn in global funding and the numbers are anticipated to further rise. • Hardcore Tech FinTech challengers are not only disruptors and have grown to be competitors with an increasing global reach. Technology-driven change is so pervasive that no financial institution is immune. The adoption rate has jumped up to 64% in 2019, far higher than predicted, according to EY. Over the next 3-5 years, over $150 billion could be invested in FinTech companies. By 2020, there will be 20 times more usable data than today, according to PwC. • RegTech The increasing need for risk and compliance management has led to the increased adoption of regulatory technology (RegTech) solutions. Implementation of these solutions helps reduce compliance costs and improves efficiency. It also speeds up business processes, enhances their reliability, and reduces hassle for customers and the risk of compliance failures. • Lending Over $220 billion of digital loans will be extended by tech companies by 2020, according to Boston Consulting Group. In Southeast Asia where many consumers don’t have credit cards or credit score, lending companies are implementing alternative credit scoring by collecting data on its drivers to build accurate risk profiles. • Global Markets Opportunities Get the latest updates on the global market outlook, future of market infrastructure, the trend of rising digital banks, cybersecurity technology and threats, international standards and cross-border collaboration here. • Future of Finance Ideas and innovation relating to the future of market infrastructure, banking, capital markets and insurance as well as investment opportunities will prevail in this track.
