About the Summit

A Strategic Convening of Singapore Banking Leaders

The Singapore Summit, curated by Cedar and IBSi, convenes CXOs and senior leaders from challenger banks, established lenders, technology platforms, and regulatory bodies for a focused half-day of dialogue on what it takes to build a future-ready bank.

The agenda centres on the strategic, technological, and operational levers reshaping banking — AI-driven decisioning, modern core platforms, embedded finance models, financial crime resilience, and the regulatory architecture defining the next decade.
