Overview
The 16th Annual Conference and Exhibtion of BankTech Asia 2026: Kuala Lumpur Series, will bring together senior bankers, regulators, fintech leaders, and technology providers under the theme “Intelligent Finance Networks: Tokenised Value, Autonomous Risk, and Invisible Banking.” This full-day conference focuses on the strategic and technological shifts reshaping the BFSI sector, from real-world asset tokenisation and instant cross-border payments to AI-driven risk management, zero-trust security, embedded finance, and the rise of invisible banking. Through high-level keynotes, panel discussions, and interactive fireside chats, attendees will explore practical pathways to integrate tokenised assets, scale AI governance, build shared cyber resilience, monetise sustainability, and redefine wealth advisory in a hybrid human-AI era. The event concludes with an essential closing debate on customer ownership in an era where banking disappears into everyday platforms, offering delegates actionable insights and valuable networking opportunities with Malaysia’s and ASEAN’s banking and fintech decision-makers.
