ANEXT Bank

Wrapping up a tech-filled week at #GITEXAsia, where KAI QIU joined a dynamic panel on “AI and the Future of Technology Leadership.” Here are key insights that every forward-looking business can relate to: 🔹 AI is no longer optional — it’s transforming operations, elevating customer experiences, and helping businesses stay competitive in an ever-evolving landscape. 🔹 Innovation needs balance. In highly-regulated industries like banking, progress thrives when paired with trust, compliance, and accountability — a principle relevant for any growth-focused business. 🔹 Mindset is the key to transformation. As Kai aptly puts it: “Open to new, reimagine the old.” Real growth starts by cultivating a culture that embraces change and adopting forward-thinking approaches. AI isn’t just a tool — it’s a catalyst reshaping how businesses think, innovate, and create limitless possibilities. #AI #techleadership #innovation #fintech #smebanking

Day 1 of #Money2020Asia sparked lively conversations on the evolution of financial services in the digital age. Our CEO Designate KAI QIU shared about how banks, whether physical or digital, need to provide a seamless banking experience to better serve customers. Alongside industry leaders Okan Ozaltin from 10x Banking and John Howard Medina from Philippine Bank of Communications (PBCOM), moderated by Anna Chiu from Reap on the panel: Navigating the Convergence of Physical and Digital Banking Services, Kai emphasised how #embeddedfinance could be the key to achieving this, by working with partners to embed financial solutions directly into the platforms #SMEs already rely on. The bold idea driving this vision? Financial services becoming so integrated with digital platforms and services, banking becomes 'invisible' - effortlessly part of the journey.

We know running a small business comes with its fair share of challenges, from managing finances to finding time to focus on growth. At ANEXT, we’re here to make banking one less thing to stress about. For us, #digitalbanking isn’t just about going online - it’s about removing barriers and making financial services easier to access and use. That’s why we integrate our solutions into the platforms and tools that #SMEs already rely on to run their businesses. We’re inspired by the passion and resourcefulness of #entrepreneurs and are committed to help them bring their growth plans to life. Because when businesses thrive, so do the communities they serve. https://lnkd.in/gyptC876

We’re very proud to have secured a podium finish at the CX ASIA Excellence Awards for Best Digital Experience! As a digital-only bank without physical customer interactions, delivering exceptional experiences across various digital channels and touchpoints is critical to our success. Achieving this requires a strategic approach to customer experience design (UI/UX), which is an iterative process of translating valuable insights on user behaviour and needs into creating delightful and seamless experience. This recognition validates our mission and efforts to make financial services accessible, effortless, and secure. But we’re just getting started. Last night’s awards ceremony, surrounded by industry peers and veterans, reminded us of how much more we can grow as a young bank. It’s an exciting journey, and we’re motivated to keep pushing boundaries to serve our customers better. #CXAsiaExcellenceAwards #BringingAboutWhatsNext #DigitalBanking #Innovation #FinancialInclusion
