Vietnam to Rethink Financial Services After a Cutting-edge Show at WFIS

In an exclusive setup that convened over 500 financial sector professionals, the second annual edition of World Financial Innovation Series (WFIS) in Vietnam gave an industrywide push to accommodate the latest tech advancements in FSI.

Held at one of the poshest 5-star venue, Melia Hanoi, the event took place on 15 – 16 April 2024 and got inaugurated by the Vice Chairman & Secretary General of Vietnam Banks Association (VNBA), Dr Nguyen Quoc Hung and the event organizer, Sudhir Ranjan Jena (Co-founder & CEO, Tradepass).

Unveiling a whole spectrum of discussion around areas like Cloud Technologies, Generative AI, Fintech Leaps and Digital Banking, the platform very precisely depicted the pulse of the industry and got numerous verticals together to engage in meaningful dialogues.

While Generative AI has taken the whole world by storm, it found a significant spot in the conference’s agenda as well. A strong testament to its widespread popularity is the fact that it got highlighted during two distinct keynote sessions titled “Generative AI for Financial Services” by AWS Vietnam & Indochina and “Revolutionizing Banking: The power of Generative AI” by VinBigdata.

During a face-to-face interview, the Chief Digital Officer from Techcombank, Pranav Seth who was also a key speaker at the event, gave an impressive reply explaining how the bank’s recent 22 percent year-on-year Profit Before Tax (PBT) can be attributed to the its digital side.

He expressed, “As a universal bank I think there’s a lot in terms of transformation that needs to come together, so I think digital is a large part of it. On the digital side what we have been able to do is massively scale up our acquisition efforts. So, last year we were able to acquire about 2.3 million high quality customers and create one of the highest engagements with them digitally. Our customers interact with us around 50 times a month and for each of those opportunity we use all the data that we have.”

Furthermore, he went on to talk about what he liked the most about the platform WFIS, “I am really surprised and impressed by the turnout and professionalism of the whole setup and excited to see so many people from the industry in Vietnam. It seems like a very high-quality international event and I am thankful to Tradepass for hosting this in Hanoi.”

The event witnessed a magnificent lineup of thought leaders from Vietnam’s top-notch banks, financial institutions, and technology companies. Even Southeast Asia’s very first fintech to win a digital banking license, UNObank was seen participating in a very insightful fireside chat on MSME Banking.

Its Chairman, Kalidas Ghose even elucidated on the bank’s remarkable journey, he expressed, “So, the journey has obviously been very encouraging and motivating to look at. First of all, we found that with modern technology you can establish a fully compliant bank in a relatively short span of time. But what is more interesting is that the UNObanking model is purely digital so we do not have any physical presence like branches or ATMs. While on one hand that can act as a constraint on the other it can really open up a huge world of opportunities for reaching out to a larger audience of customers”.

Talking in numbers, he further stated, “We have been able to acquire close to 1.5 million customers in less than 15 months’ time and this has been possible because of the strong partnerships but also very efficient organic channels through which we acquire customers.”

The attendees were spoilt for choice as they got a splendid opportunity to explore a wide array of fintech solutions from top technology giants like AWS, VinBigdata, Oracle, Coreium, iProov and many others.

All in all, the two-days at WFIS 2024 – Vietnam gave a glimpse of the country’s progressive future and its vibrant financial sector that’s poised to undertake the latest tech advancements. The participating financial institutions received some eye-opening intel and evaluated cutting-edge products and strategies for enhanced delivery of their services.

DCCI will initiate dialogue on some crucial industry topics like ‘Green Datacentres’, ‘The Symbiosis of Datacentres and 5G’, ‘Edge Computing Infrastructure’, ‘Embracing a Cloud-First Approach’, ‘Hybrid Cloud Infrastructure’, ‘Adopting Cloud Automation Solutions to Enhance Business Operations’, ‘Datacentre Cooling’ and many others.

Considering the response so far, it will only be fair to say that the delegates attending the summit will be totally spoilt for choice while deciding the most befitting datacentre or cloud vendor for their organisations. Few names from the list of solution providers who will be putting a grand show at the exhibition hall include Cloudflare, CETM, Fluke and others.

In a statement issued, post-confirming Cloudflare’s participation at the summit, Ben Munroe, Sr. Marketing Director, APJC, Cloudflare, said, “We are delighted to participate in this year’s Datacentre & Cloud Infrastructure Summit (DCCI) in Malaysia. At Cloudflare, we look forward to working with our various partners and stakeholders in Malaysia to help businesses leverage the cloud as part of their digital transformation, while ensuring they prioritise cybersecurity at every step of the way.”            

For Sudhir Ranjan Jena, the organizer and CEO of Tradepass, the platform is yet another feat towards moving the whole gamut of discussions around the country’s datacentre & cloud landscape to reality. He expressed, “Datacentre & Cloud Infrastructure Summit (DCCI) is on a mission to create a legacy in Malaysia’s technology realm. We work with market leaders and the top players to support Malaysia’s dynamic digital transformation journey, the likes the country has never seen before.  As we usher in a new era of datacentres & cloud technologies, an inclusive platform such as DCCI will bring diverse stakeholders closer, all the while doing wonders for the digital economy.”

Survival of the fintech – WFIS to unveil Indonesia’s market leaders

While the stakes are soaring high, fintech companies in Indonesia are vying to get on top and dominate the FSI market. With the World Financial Innovation Series (WFIS) scheduled for 24 – 25 October 2023, fintech buyers are coming in the hundreds to the country’s foremost FSI event and take back the best solutions for their firms. Furthermore, the platform will also be powering an Awards & Gala Dinner to reward and celebrate the best of FSI on 25 October from 5 pm to 9 pm.

Jakarta’s most iconic 5-star hotel, The Ritz-Carlton Jakarta, Pacific Place has been chosen as the venue for the 2-day event. As a long-standing annual platform, WFIS over the years has emerged as the home turf for Indonesia’s leading fintech companies to demonstrate their thought leadership and cutting-edge solutions. The reputation for hosting the strongest buyers from the region is the primary reason that entices the fintech companies to participate at WFIS. From the Heads of Cards, Payments, Retail Bankings to CIOs, CTOs, CISOs, and almost the entire band of key decision makers, the platform is a favourite amongst all.

Debuting this year with their stellar solutions at the exhibition arena and a keynote session during the conference, the industry giant IBM is leaving no stone unturned for a massive display of their expertise. Meanwhile, Roy Kosasih, President Director of IBM Indonesia, expressed his views, “The market of generative AI in finance is projected to reach $9.5 billion globally by 2032. Organizations today, especially in financial services, are under immense pressure to act now or risk falling behind AI-augmented competitors. To fully realize the potential of AI, the technology must, however, be built on a foundation of trust and transparency.”

“IBM Indonesia is working with banks and financial institutions to help them derive the full benefit of AI in increasing efficiency, automating processes, and improving customer experience. With ethical AI governance in place, we ensure Indonesia organizations will stay competitive in the digital era while meeting regulatory requirements”, he added.

To orchestrate the most advanced, next-gen fintech show, WFIS will be packed with the most influential line-up of organisations including IBM, Newgen, 8×8, Ab Initio Software, Credit Bureau Indonesia, Perfios Software Solution, Provenir, iProov, BUSINESSNEXT, OpenText™ AI Cloud, Effiya Technologies, Infosys Finacle, OutSystems, Perkasa, FEITIAN Technologies Co., Ltd., IntellectAI, Reward360, PowerCred, Veefin Solutions, AI Rudder, Eranyacloud, Synnex Metrodata Indonesia, Trejhara, Temenos, Systems and Sumsub.

Looking at the grandiosity of the event, Indonesia’s very own regulatory body for the financial services sector, Otoritas Jasa Keuangan (OJK) will be sharing crucial FSI wisdom through its Department Head of the Financial Sector Technology Innovation, Digital Assets and Crypto Assets Regulation and Licensing, Asep Iskandar. While stating his vision behind participating at the platform, Asep Iskandar said, “In the pursuit of ensuring integrity of digital financial service that is continue to be evolving through various financial innovations, OJK aims to fortify and enhance Digital Trust within the country’s financial ecosystem to promote consumer safety and confidence as well as financial stability.”

The platform’s buzz has gone so far and wide that the upcoming edition has even garnered the support from Indonesian Bankers Club and Center for Indonesian Policy Studies which have brought more recognition and better participation for the same.  

Another very population attraction of the event has been its curated agenda that has inspired many FSI professionals over the years and successfully brought to limelight some of the most topical and intriguing industry topics. Some of topics from the upcoming edition include, ‘Digital and AI-Driven Innovations and Disruptions in Banking’, ‘Empowering FSI with Cloud’, ‘Big Data Beyond the Hype’, ‘Unlock the Power of Hyperautomation’, ‘Elevating CX and Security in Digital Banking’, ‘Streamlining Legacy System in Banking’ and many others.
