 chtime Series: Payments – Then\, Now &amp\; What’s in Store? Thursday\
 , 29 August\, 12:00 – 2:00 pm</a>\nPlease note that lunch will be provid
 ed. FWA thanks AMEX & the SFA for their kind sponsorship of the venue and 
 lunch. FWA in collaboration with American Express and the Singapore Fintec
 h Association is pleased to present a session on the future of payments. I
 n recent years\, there has been exponential growth in the adoption of digi
 tal payments\, with some cities and governments looking towards a ‘cashl
 ess’ future. Increasingly\, consumers are choosing their cards and phone
 s as the way to pay over cash\, with hawker centres\, drivers and friends 
 prefer to be paid via QR\, mobile wallet\, or instant transfer. Singapore
 ’s central bank\, the Monetary Authority of Singapore (MAS)\, has a pivo
 tal role to play in the digital payments industry as they seek to encourag
 e innovation and new FinTech tools\, while also providing safeguards for c
 onsumers and merchants. Already at the forefront of innovation in the paym
 ents ecosystem\, Singapore will set the stage for others to follow. With a
  boom of new digital payment players in the market\, what will determine w
 hich will succeed? How can regulations help spur innovation among digital 
 payment players? What will a future of digital banks and Open Banking look
  like for consumers? We have invited a team of esteemed panellists to shar
 e their views on this topic. Event Agenda 12.00pm: Registration\, lunch &
