At #SFF2024, Charles describes the future of finance as one that’s fluid and inclusive with the help of blockchain technology. “If you have a smartphone, you can have a wallet and you can have fund movements.” 🚀 📲 Want more insights like this to keep you and your business ahead in 2025 and beyond?

Last week was a big one as I made my debut at the incredible Singapore Fintech Festival! Making new connections with the fintech community from across Asia Pacific and experiencing the galaxy of innovations at #Mastercard’s futuristic booth were the perfect way to assimilate deeper into the payment ecosystem of this vibrant region. Another top highlight for me was exchanging views with fellow panelists Arif Khan Gajia Parsons Irina Chuchkina, Milind Sanghavi as we discussed what’s needed to make the global payment system more resilient and aligned with G20 goals.   In a nutshell, as I see it, when looking at cross-border payments, we must balance safety, trust, and transparency with the G20’s focus and priority on speed. Ultimately, we want to ensure businesses and consumers are confident when sending #payments.   For more on this and my time at #SFF2024, check out this short video.   #MastercardxSFF
