Money20/20 Asia is in its final day in Bangkok on Thursday, April 23, bringing banks, payment firms, regulators and startups to one stage. (asia.money2020.com) The conference is running April 21–23 at the Queen Sirikit National Convention Center, and the organizer says more than 250 speakers from 39 countries were booked for the 2026 program. (nationthailand.com) Thursday’s agenda centers on cross-border money movement, tokenisation and sustainable finance, with sessions including “The New Paradigm of Cross-Border Money Flows and International Expansion” and “The Institutional Leap: Asia’s Tokenisation Playbook.” (asia.money2020.com) The lineup mixes private firms and public officials, including executives from Fiserv, Ant Digital Technologies, Maybank, Revolut and Ripple, alongside Bank of Thailand officials and regulators from Japan, Malaysia and the Philippines. (asia.money2020.com) Bangkok is a fitting host because Thailand already runs one of Southeast Asia’s most-used instant payment systems. The Bank of Thailand says PromptPay lets people send money using a phone number or national ID, and most banks have waived fees on many digital transactions since 2018. (bot.or.th) Thailand has also pushed those payment rails across borders. The Bank of Thailand says its ASEAN payment links now support cross-border QR payments and mobile-number remittances with countries including Malaysia, Vietnam, Singapore, Indonesia, Cambodia, Japan, Hong Kong, Laos, Korea and China. (bot.or.th) That regional plumbing helps explain why so many sessions focus on infrastructure rather than consumer apps. Money20/20’s 2026 theme is “From Infrastructure to Impact,” with panels on digital public infrastructure, embedded finance, artificial intelligence-powered services and inclusive financial design. (nationthailand.com) The show is also built as a dealmaking venue, not just a speaker circuit. The official program highlights a Startup & Investor Park, a Connections Lounge for meetings, and a show-floor report launch with FXC Intelligence on cross-border payments in Asia. (asia.money2020.com) By Thursday afternoon, the pitch is straightforward: if Asia’s next payments networks, digital asset rails and bank-fintech partnerships are being negotiated anywhere this week, a large share of them are being discussed inside QSNCC.
