World Financial Innovation Series (WFIS)
World Financial Innovation Series (WFIS) is a global platform shaping the next chapter of financial services. Hosted annually across multiple international markets, WFIS brings together the most influential voices from banking, insurance, fintech, policy, microfinance and technology to reimagine how the financial ecosystem evolves.
Over the past eight years, with the support of numerous government organisations, the event has continued to serve as a convergence point for bold ideas, transformative technologies, and real-world use cases. By addressing a wide spectrum of priorities including customer experience, operational resilience, security, and growth – WFIS delivers meaningful engagement through high-value networking and strategic collaborations.
As financial institutions accelerate toward digital-first models, WFIS stands at the intersection of technology and finance – bridging solution providers with decision-makers to enable faster adoption, smarter transformation, and future-ready financial systems.
