The Future of Myanmar’s Banking-led Approach to Digitising Payments

Myanmar's banks are moving alongside Telecom operators in an attempt to claim market share for digital payments services to the unbanked. The process is made more exciting by the country's high penetration rate of mobile broadband, some of the fastest broadband speeds in Asia, and Myanmar's quick adoption of the use of smartphones.

Traditional banks across the region have found that working together to improve the digital payments space is effective for individual operators and the overall economic development of the country.

In this webinar, you will learn about how the leading banks in Myanmar are contributing to the country's financial inclusion, how the banks are pushing their digital channels, what their post-pandemic outlooks are, thoughts on how digitisation is encouraging cooperation in facing the digital age, the effects of regulations, challenges attracting customers amidst a myriad of mobile payment alternatives, and more.
