The road to Singapore FinTech Festival 2026 has begun. Last week, we brought together leaders from wealth management, AI, banking, and technology at GFTN Connect: AI x Wealth Management, the first community conversation of the year, building toward this November's Festival. Singapore FinTech Festival has always been a moment for the ecosystem to take stock: where the industry has moved, where the gaps remain, and what the next wave of finance looks like in practice. Those conversations do not begin in November. They begin here. More communities. More conversations. More to come.

“Responsibility cannot be automated.” At #SFF2025, @RalphR3m1X, The Ethical Hacker, challenged the industry to think beyond AI capability and focus instead on accountability, ethics, and safety. “The systems that we are designing today will define what it means to be human tomorrow.” As AI, quantum technologies, and intelligent automation accelerate, the question is no longer just what technology can do, but how responsibly we choose to deploy it. These are the conversations shaping the future of finance, technology, and trust at #SingaporeFinTechFestival2026. 🔗 Get your delegate pass now.

The real outcome is often not what gets announced on stage. James Pereira-Stubbs from Oxford Risk, one of the Global FinTech Hackcelerator 2025 winners, shared the one thing he did not expect from the programme: how much it helped them build real connections with Singapore's friendly and exciting fintech community, and how welcomed they felt along the way. It is the relationships built in the room.

Throwback to #SFF2025, where Makoto Shibata, Head of @finolab_pr and Chief Community Officer, shared how Japan’s greying population is shaping the next wave of FinTech innovation. During the panel, moderator, Manisha Tank asked: how did Japan find the demand to stay relevant in this new tech age? As Japan moves into a super-senior society, the question for financial institutions is practical and urgent: how do we serve seniors with simple, user-friendly experiences, while supporting those living independently? That real-world demand is already driving new products, and opening the door for startups to solve everyday needs. The conversation continues at #GFJ2026.

#SFF2025 highlighted a critical truth many organisations still underestimate. “For us… our number one proposition is trust, right? And this is really, really important. There are many elements to trust, but ultimately, if our data isn’t safe, if our customers’ data isn’t safe, then where are we going to go, and what is our value proposition?” — Nimish Panchmatia, Chief Data & Transformation Officer, DBS Bank 𝗔𝗻𝗱 𝘁𝗵𝗲 𝘁𝗵𝗿𝗲𝗮𝘁 𝗶𝘀 𝗿𝗲𝗮𝗹. "𝗣𝗿𝗲𝗽𝗮𝗿𝗶𝗻𝗴 𝗳𝗼𝗿 𝗤-𝗗𝗮𝘆: 𝗤𝘂𝗮𝗻𝘁𝘂𝗺 𝗠𝗶𝗴𝗿𝗮𝘁𝗶𝗼𝗻 𝗳𝗼𝗿 𝗣𝗮𝘆𝗺𝗲𝗻𝘁𝘀, 𝗖𝗼𝗿𝗲 𝗕𝗮𝗻𝗸𝗶𝗻𝗴, 𝗮𝗻𝗱 𝗙𝗶𝗻𝗮𝗻𝗰𝗶𝗮𝗹 𝗦𝗲𝗿𝘃𝗶𝗰𝗲𝘀" explored a future where today’s encryption breaks overnight, exposing payments, customer data, and digital assets to unprecedented risk. Panellists Camilla Bullock, Chief Executive Officer, Emerging Payments Association Asia, Colin Payne, Head of Innovation, Financial Conduct Authority, Vincent Loy, Assistant Managing Director & Chief Technology Officer, @MAS_sg and moderator, Rich Tong, Co-founder & Chief Executive Officer, Total Neural Enterprises, made one thing clear: quantum-safe migration must start now, not “𝗼𝗻𝗲 𝗱𝗮𝘆.” Join us at #SFF2026 as we go deeper into the technologies, risks, and regulations shaping the next decade of trust: fintechfestival.sg/?&utm_sou…

“In terms of financial inclusion, there’s still a lot to be done. In Kenya, in Africa, and around the world, there are still 1.4 billion people who are excluded. But as we navigate this space, I want to underscore the risks. It’s important to use the technologies available to us, but to do so while addressing those risks.” @njorogep, Former Governor, @CBKKenya, #SFF2025 This powerful message anchored one of #SFF2025’s most anticipated conversations on geopolitics, globalisation, and the future of cooperation. Joined by global leaders George Lee, Co-head, @GoldmanSachs Global Institute, Jawed Ashraf, Former High Commissioner of India in Singapore & Ambassador to France & Monaco, Indian Foreign Service, Prof. Kishore Mahbubani, Distinguished Fellow, Asia Research Institute, @NUSingapore, and moderator, Alex Capri, Author, Professor & Thought Leader, NUS Business School.
