Manila, 03rd August 2023 – The World Financial Innovation Series (WFIS) is back, drawing attention from banks, fintech organisations, and other key FSI players for its second year.

The Fintech Philippines Association, the country’s largest financial technology trade association, and Digital Pilipinas, the premier private sector-led movement advocating tech advancement in the Philippines, stand as the event’s “Supporting Partners”.

Scheduled for 22-23 August, the event culminates in a glamorous “Awards & Gala Dinner” on 24 August, celebrating top FSI talents.

WFIS, part of Tradepass events, is prepared to continue its legacy in the Philippines, following its success in key regions across ASEAN and Africa.

The event anticipates over 600 attendees from leading Banks, Insurance & Micro-Finance institutions.
