Australia’s growing financial technology (fintech) capabilities were highlighted during a major industry conference in Kuala Lumpur earlier this year.
Malaysia: The Rise of Fintech Innovation and Disruption – a two-day event organised by the Australian Trade and Investment Commission (Austrade) in collaboration with the NSW Government – outlined how Australia’s fintech capability aligns with Malaysia’s financial services sector ambitions.
