OpenPayd Spotlights the Future of Embedded Finance at Money20/20 Asia

OpenPayd made a powerful statement at the Money20/20 Asia event in Bangkok last week, not just by exhibiting its industry-leading embedded finance solutions, but also by taking centre stage in a key panel discussion on the future of financial innovation in Asia.

Asia Welcomes Money20/20 for the Second Time
Money20/20 has long been the world's most influential platform for fintech, payments, and banking innovation, with major events held annually in Las Vegas and Amsterdam. Now, with the growing dominance of Asia's digital economy, the conference expanded eastward, hosting its second Asia edition in Bangkok.
The event attracted 4,000+ attendees, 1,500+ companies, and 300+ speakers from over 70 countries. Discussions ranged from AI and blockchain to open banking and next-generation payment networks - all set against the backdrop of Southeast Asia's booming fintech sector.

OpenPayd's Strong Presence
OpenPayd, a leading provider of Banking-as-a-Service (BaaS) and embedded finance infrastructure, used the event to reinforce its commitment to the region. The company exhibited its single API platform that allows businesses to integrate services like virtual IBANs, multi-currency accounts, FX, open banking, and real-time payments.

Exhibiting was just one part of OpenPayd's engagement: Barry O'Sullivan, Head of Banking and Payments Infrastructure at OpenPayd, was invited to speak on one of the event's standout panels, The Future of Embedded Finance.
Barry O'Sullivan's Insights from the Future of Embedded Finance Panel
The panel explored how embedded finance is reshaping industries across Asia, the new partnerships forming between fintech and non-financial players, and where the biggest opportunities lie.

Speaking during the session, Barry O'Sullivan emphasised: "Embedded finance is about removing friction - it's about making financial services invisible and seamless, integrated right into the experiences people already love. Asia is uniquely positioned to leapfrog traditional financial models, and businesses here are showing how it's done."

O'Sullivan also discussed the challenges of regulation, customer trust, and the need for scalable infrastructure: "The winners in embedded finance will be those who understand that it's not just about plugging in payments. It's about offering complete, compliant, and user-centric financial experiences, with strong foundations in risk management and operational resilience."

The panel drew a large audience and sparked lively debate among fintech leaders, banks, and startups on how embedded finance will evolve across sectors like retail, gaming, travel, and B2B marketplaces.
Reflections from Dr. Ozan Ozerk
OpenPayd's founder Dr. Ozan Ozerk was also present at the event and spoke enthusiastically about the company's growing role in Asia: "Money20/20 Asia has confirmed that embedded finance is not a Western phenomenon - it's global. And in Asia, it's moving even faster. OpenPayd is committed to helping businesses here turn financial services into a true competitive advantage."
Dr. Ozerk added: "This event has shown how collaboration across industries - fintech, banking, technology - is the real driver of innovation. We are excited to be part of this movement."
