Dubai-based fintech organisation FILPS, in association with City Bank, Prime Bank and AB Bank, is going to organise Bankers’ Meet 2025 on August 14, said a press release.
The event, to be held at Radisson Blu Water Garden Hotel in the capital, will be an evening of dialogue and discovery on what lies ahead as the ecosystem evolves, fuelled by artificial intelligence, fintech disruption and shift toward technology-first, customer-centric models.
According to the release, futurist Brett King will join the event as the keynote speaker. He is a globally recognised voice in banking and technology, renowned futurist and international bestselling author. He has spoken in over 80 countries and advised organisations and governments, including the Obama Administration, on fintech policy.
In an era defined by digital acceleration and evolving customer demands, Bangladesh’s banking sector faces both challenges and unique opportunities. As neighbouring markets in the region make rapid strides in real-time payments and digital financial infrastructure, Bangladesh is positioned to chart its own course by balancing regulatory evolution, technological adoption and financial innovations.
Bankers’ Meet 2025, an exclusive and invitation-only event for senior executives from the country’s leading financial institutions is being organised as a collective exploration to address this shift, the release said.
With a wealth of experience in the region’s financial sector, FILPS has worked with banking leaders in South Asia, East Asia and GCC to accelerate transformation, enhance customer experience and strengthen overall capabilities around digital banking.
‘Digital transformation is not a solo effort,’ said Tushar Hasan, FILPS country manager for Bangladesh, adding, ‘It requires a shared commitment from institutions, regulators, and partners to rethink how the entire ecosystem operates.’
At Bankers’ Meet 2025, Brett King is expected to share his insights on the forces redefining global banking, including growing gap between traditional financial institutions and digital-first fintechs. Drawing from regional examples such as India’s UPI and China’s mobile payments revolution, he will discuss how rapidly emerging technologies like AI, are pushing the industry toward a new paradigm, Bank 5.0, where digital infrastructure, real-time engagement, and tech-driven capabilities become fundamental to banking competitiveness.
