“The Future of Payments: AI, Compliance, and Connectivity Across Borders.”

We were privileged to host foreign leaders of a bank for a closed-door session at 80RR Fintech Hub SG on the technology and governance shaping tomorrow’s payment infrastructure.

✨ Our sincere thanks to:

Speaker: Prof James (Kayliang) Ong, Founder and Managing Director, Artificial Intelligence International Institute (AIII) and Head of AI | GFI Industry Fellow
Speaker: Michael H. Conn, CFtP, GFI Chartered Fellow, Chairman and CEO, Rule72
Moderator: Adeline M. Chan, GFI Industry Fellow
Guest Speaker: Dr. Xiao Zhang, Founder, Zcloak Network | GFI Chartered Fellow

Their insights helped surface the questions institutions are actively navigating today: how intelligence strengthens trust, how interoperability keeps pace with innovation, and how global systems evolve without compromising safety and integrity.

The discussion explored four key themes:

• How governable AI is strengthening fraud detection, sanctions screening, and operational resilience
• What tokenisation, stablecoins, and CBDCs mean for institutional connectivity and settlement
• Why bank–fintech–regulator collaboration will shape Asia’s next wave of payment innovation
• How intelligence and trust will define the next five years of cross-border systems

Sessions like this deepen the collective understanding needed to build a secure, interoperable, and globally connected payments ecosystem. We look forward to continuing the dialogue with our community.
