FinTechNZ is delighted to welcome Visa as the Diamond Sponsor for the FinTechNZ Hui Taumata 2023.

“Visa plays an important role in the New Zealand fintech ecosystem helping pioneer new modes of commerce, including consumer and merchant experiences,” says FinTechNZ’s Executive Director, Jason Roberts.

“Innovation in finance is changing the way we live, work and pay and it’s happening fast. Our FinTechNZ Hui Taumata is bringing together the brightest minds and global thought leaders to help cultivate tech that’s right-sized for the local market and ready to scale to the world,” he says.

Consumers are becoming increasingly comfortable with online transactions, which was dramatically accelerated by the pandemic. Contactless payments, click-to-pay, buy now pay later (BNPL), mobile point of sale (mPOS) and self-checkout kiosks have helped pave the way for the next wave of innovation 

“We look forward to hearing from Anthony Jones, Visa’s Head of Innovation and Partnerships, Australia, New Zealand and South Pacific, who will share his perspective on global payment trends and the future of commerce,” says Roberts.

Recent digital transformation has created a solid foundation for the fintech landscape. Emerging global trends are shaping the future of commerce with embedded finance, open data and superapps changing the way people manage their money. 

“Across the wider Asia Pacific region, non-financial service providers are integrating with financial services, such as payment processing or lending, to address specific pain points and to offer customers new digital experiences,” Anthony Jones says.

“With the line between commerce, financial services, and payments blurring, we believe that partnerships, collaboration, and investment are key to creating new and innovative payment solutions and I look forward to the FinTechNZ Hui as an opportunity to inspire and connect.”
