HKFIA Supports Money20/20 Asia 2026 in Bangkok: From Infrastructure to Impact

The Hong Kong Fintech Industry Association (HKFIA) is pleased to support Money20/20 Asia 2026, taking place on 21 to 23 April 2026 at the Queen Sirikit National Convention Center (QSNCC) in Bangkok.

Money20/20 is widely recognised as a fintech show built for outcomes. It brings banks, payment leaders, fintech builders, regulators, and investors into the same room to move from conversations to partnerships, and from partnerships to real execution.

For the HKFIA community, this is a timely platform to deepen cross-border collaboration across APAC, connect with senior decision-makers, and stay close to the policy and infrastructure shifts shaping the next decade of financial services.

A powerhouse lineup and a clear 2026 focus

Money20/20 Asia has announced 250 confirmed speakers from 39 countries, under the 2026 theme:

“From Infrastructure to Impact: Where Technology Meets Humanity”.

The program is designed to explore how the next wave of financial innovation can translate into real outcomes across APAC, spanning digital public infrastructure, embedded finance, AI-powered services, and inclusive financial design.

The lineup brings together leaders from over 40 global and regional banks, including Standard Chartered, HSBC, Bank of America, Citi, Deutsche Bank, World Bank, Kotak Mahindra Bank, Tonik Bank, Maybank, J.P. Morgan, KASIKORNBANK, and Trust Bank Singapore.

It also features experts from payment and infrastructure leaders such as Visa, Nium, Thunes, PPRO, Tazapay, Mastercard, Razorpay, Fiserv, Brankas, and JusPay, reflecting the show’s strong focus on payments evolution and cross-border rails.

What to expect: experiences built for business outcomes

Money20/20 Asia is not only about stages and panels. The show is structured around experiences designed to maximise senior-level interaction, high-quality meetings, and actionable takeaways.

Policy20: the regulatory track that matters

Policy20 is the show’s dedicated regulatory summit, designed for high-impact dialogue between policymakers, central bankers, regulators, and industry leaders. It is positioned as a by-invite initiative and focuses on practical pathways to strengthen innovation, harmonisation, and resilience across the financial system.

Closed-door leadership sessions for banks

Money20/20 Asia also features by-invitation leadership forums, including closed-door banking sessions built for candid exchange among senior banking executives, away from cameras and press.

Money by Night

Networking continues beyond the day program through curated evening experiences, reflecting how relationship-building often accelerates after hours.

New for 2026: The Intersection Stage and the convergence conversation

A major 2026 addition is the Intersection Stage, focused on the convergence of traditional finance and decentralised finance. The program highlights how banks, fintechs, and emerging technologies are reshaping areas such as digital assets, trust and cybersecurity, and cross-border payments.

The Intersection track features speakers from major financial institutions and fintech companies, with topics including stablecoins, tokenisation, blockchain-enabled settlement, regulatory innovation, and new payment rails enabling faster and more efficient cross-border transactions.

Startup and Investor Park: where innovation meets capital
