In September 2024, Elevandi hosted a roundtable “FinTech Above the Fray: Building a Resilient Payments Ecosystem” in collaboration with the Milken Institute at the 2024 Asia Summit. The discussion centered on how the digital economy and fintech services have significantly improved peoples’ abilities to access financial services and transact online.
 
We are pleased to continue the dialogue on how payments systems, being the first point of entry into the formal economy for many, play a critical role in ensuring that financial flows serve the common good. But the exponential availability of opportunities to participate in the digital economy can be a double-edged sword; the boom of companies and services seeking to facilitate transaction also opens the doors to new risks and concerns.
 
Bringing together global providers of payments infrastructure and innovative regulators, this roundtable will consider how concerns over data privacy, ownership, and sovereignty, fraud and cybersecurity, nefarious financial activities, and geopolitics are being addressed, and what this implies for businesses and consumers. Participants will discuss how the payments ecosystem can be both safe and trustworthy, but also more efficient, pragmatic, and innovative.
