  FWA thanks AMEX & the SFA for their kind sponsorship of the venue and lun
 ch. FWA in collaboration with American Express and the Singapore Fintech A
 ssociation is pleased to present a session on the future of payments. In r
 ecent years\, there has been exponential growth in the adoption of digital
  payments\, with some cities and governments looking towards a ‘cashless
 ’ future. Increasingly\, consumers are choosing their cards and phones a
 s the way to pay over cash\, with hawker centres\, drivers and friends pre
 fer to be paid via QR\, mobile wallet\, or instant transfer. Singapore’s
  central bank\, the Monetary Authority of Singapore (MAS)\, has a pivotal 
 role to play in the digital payments industry as they seek to encourage in
 novation and new FinTech tools\, while also providing safeguards for consu
 mers and merchants. Already at the forefront of innovation in the payments
  ecosystem\, Singapore will set the stage for others to follow. With a boo
 m of new digital payment players in the market\, what will determine which
  will succeed? How can regulations help spur innovation among digital paym
 ent players? What will a future of digital banks and Open Banking look lik
 e for consumers? We have invited a team of esteemed panellists to share th
 eir views on this topic. Event Agenda 12.00pm: Registration\, lunch & netw
