While the mobile channel is already yielding tremendous success, the global pandemic has given mobile banking a new spotlight and delaying the inevitable is no longer an option.

Buy Now Pay Later (BNPL) is arguably one of the hottest trends to arrive in the South East Asian market and it's easy to see the appeal. For merchants, it is an easy way to increase conversion and for consumers, it grants them the instant gratification of being able to purchase something immediately by making several interest-free installments.
However, detractors have come out en masse to describe BNPL as a worrying trend that promotes unhealthy consumerism. The rising popularity has also caught the attention of regulators as well, with MAS issuing a public statement that they will be “reviewing the appropriate regulatory approach".
In this webinar, we discuss whether BNPL is a force for good or evil.
- Are concerns about BNPL exaggerated or warranted?
- Should BNPL be regulated
- How will BNPL evolve

Thu08Jul2021In recent years, cryptocurrencies and virtual assets have grown in popularity amongst institutional and retail investors and there has been a boom in new crypto providers coming to market. This has been coupled with an increased regulatory focus that aims to prevent the misuse of virtual assets for money laundering and terrorist financing, similar to the framework that governs traditional financial institutions and instruments.However, the global nature and client base of virtual asset service providers mean it can be challenging to understand what standards and regulations apply. This means that cryptocurrencies, often operating with very lean compliance teams, need to find agile and efficient ways to carry out onboarding and due diligence processes to allow them to manage the scale of the millions of customers and transactions that move through their platforms on a monthly basis.Join Refinitiv and some of the world’s leading cryptocurrency providers to discuss:
- Emerging cryptocurrency regulations: interpreting the latest FATF guidance and ‘travel rule’
- Manage onboarding and due diligence compliance challenges

SFF 2021, organised in partnership with The Association of Banks in Singapore (ABS) and in collaboration with Constellar Exhibitions, a subsidiary of Constellar Holdings (formerly known as SingEx-Sphere Holdings), will provide a combined online-offline platform for the global FinTech community to engage and connect in spite of the current challenges with international travel.
The theme for SFF2021 is “Web 3.0”. Over three days, SFF2021 will bring together global experts to discuss how Web 3.0 and key technological advances will power the future of financial services. In particular, the conference will examine three key structural drivers that could re-shape financial services in the coming decade:
- Re-configuration of financial products and services delivery through Embedded Finance (#EmFi), decentralised finance (#DeFi) and Digital Currencies
- Integration of ESG into the core design of financial services
- Pervasive adoption of foundational digital infrastructure (Digital Identity, Trusted Data Exchange, Interoperable Payment Systems and Consent Systems)
SFF2021 will also organise deep-dive sessions that will brainstorm how Web 3.0 technologies can be harnessed for more efficient financial intermediation, advance key objectives like green finance and financial inclusion, and examine implications for financial regulation and supervision.

The cloud is increasingly becoming the primary location for financial institutions to store and process data. Yet too often, financial institutions are moving rapidly to migrate to the cloud without paying enough attention upfront to security.
In light of this, the Monetary Authority of Singapore (MAS) issued a circular on 1 June 2021, detailing an advisory on addressing the technology and cyber security risks associated with public cloud adoption for financial institutions.
How can organisations adopt a conscious and integrated approach to embed security into their cloud DNA? Join our webinar to hear from subject matter experts from Deloitte and Thales and gain insights into the following key security considerations as your organisation embarks on the cloud migration journey:
- Implementing a public cloud risk management strategy
- Implementing strong controls in critical areas
- Expanding cybersecurity operations to cover public cloud
- Managing cloud resilience, outsourcing, vendor lock-in and concentration risks
- Ensuring adequate competence to manage public cloud and its risks
- Industry-leading data security solutions
