London, 25 November 2015 – Singapore played host to SWIFT’s second-largest Sibos of all time and its largest in the Asian region. The standout topic of conversation throughout the 2015 event was undoubtedly blockchain, but many recurring themes from recent years, such as cybersecurity, Know Your Customer and sanctions compliance, and the evolution of global market infrastructures, made the agenda. Many of these topics reflect SWIFT’s new five-year strategy, which was unveiled by the executive team on the first day of the conference. Innotribe also took center stage, and its presence on the exhibition floor highlights the industry focus on innovation and fintech.
