WFIS - Vietnam
The rising tide of digital investment is the sure bedrock for fintech growth in Vietnam. While international investors have started uncovering the vast opportunities and untapped market potential, the country’s financial institutions are now racing to realign their tech infrastructure.
With the rise of novel platforms like digital wallets, mobile payment apps, blockchain, cryptography, digital banking and online payment gateways, Vietnam’s fintech market is forecasted to reach $41.76 billion by 2029.
Furthermore, the release of a new draft decree in March 2024 by the State Bank of Vietnam (SBV) concerning banking sector’s regulatory sandbox is anticipated to pave new approaches for the controlled testing and introduction of innovative fintech solutions.
To provide a direct gateway to the country’s booming financial sector, World Financial Innovation Series (WFIS) is coming to Meliá Hanoi again on 15 – 16 April 2025. The event will host over 500 technology and business heads from the leading Banks, Insurance & Micro-Finance institutions across the country.
