The banking & financial sector has gone through many changes in the past century. Long gone are the days when we had to run down to our local bank carrying our passbook to perform a simple transaction. Nowadays, with a click of a mouse, one can perform financial transactions with bankers on the other side of the world.

The advancement in Information Technology has propelled the banking sector to greater heights. Today's banking lifestyle allows you to transact electronically through the telephone, mobile, computer, ATM and other Self-Service Terminals. However, these advancements open up a completely new spectrum of complexities and threats.

The current primary concern is whether your money is safe left in the hands of these banks and financial institutions. Technology has opened the floodgates for a multitude of security threats and breaches. Governmental and non-governmental organizations as well as the private sector realises these concerns and have been working hand in hand over the past century, developing policies, guidelines and regulations to help the financial and banking sector operate more efficiently and securely.

The success of previous BankTech Asia Conference & Exhibition has established the event as the platform where concerns of Asia’s banking and financial sector are discussed.
