Powered by Matchi, BankTech Asia is scanning the globe for five leading fintech solutions to showcase to an audience of over 200 bankers from Asia at their ninth annual event in Kuala Lumpur from July 5 to 6 to foster more fintech partnerships between the incumbents and the disruptors. The organisers of the international conference said that Sri Lanka is among the countries they hope to receive applications from. In tandem with the direction of regulators from Asia, BankTech Asia aims to use this challenge to introduce innovative world class fintech solutions to banks from around the region. Preparations for the BankTech Asia’s Fin5ive challenge kicked off with a fintech survey of 70 participating financial institutions from the Asia Pacific region to identify solutions that were the most strategically important for their bank.
Survey responses were collated to determine key focus areas which now form the five entry categories for the challenge.
To enter, fintech firms must have an approved solution on the Matchi portal that is aligned with any of the five categories.
General Manager of Knowledge Group said, “The partnership with Matchi is very strategic for both parties with our reach to over 4000 bankers from around Asia and Matchi’s global reach to over 3000 fintech firms.” .
Entries for the BankTech Asia Fin5ive challenge close on May 31. All entries will be validated and a shortlist will be individually scored against a set of criteria by an esteemed panel of judges. The Fin5ive winners will be announced on June 9.
Each of the winning fintech solution providers will have the opportunity to demonstrate their solution live on stage at the BankTech Asia event in Kuala Lumpur.
