How banks and fintechs win together

Interview with Chin Tah Ang, Crypto.com

How do banks and fintechs truly succeed together? Chin Tah Ang, General Manager at Crypto.com, explains why trust, collaboration, and the unique strengths of banks and digital asset companies are reshaping the global financial landscape.

Chin Tah Ang shared his insights as a guest speaker at DB Innovation Day in Singapore last November, highlighting how dynamic partnerships between banks and fintechs are shaping the future of finance.

Here’s the full transcript of the video:

“Banks and digital asset companies are both in the business of trust. Crypto.com has tried to build that trust with 150 million global customers by investing in our portfolio of licenses and registrations worldwide.

We have over 100 of these right now from across the world, the United States, the UK, Europe and across Asia. And we are very proud of it. However, to have a successful partnership with banks, it's all about having open communication and building up their trust over time.

Banks bring to the table decades of our compliance capability, hardened Fiat rails and infrastructure, while we bring the nimbleness, speed and agility as well as blockchain technology and is in the coming together on these two groups of organizations that the magic will happen and the trust is where we'll deliver value to our customers worldwide.”
