Hosted by Bank Negara Malaysia, MyFintech Week is one of Southeast Asia’s most influential fintech events, spotlighting key themes including payment innovation, financial inclusion, sustainable finance, and RegTech. The platform served as a vital gateway for startups seeking global exposure and partnerships.
Through forum participation, on-site visits, and ecosystem networking, the Taiwan delegation gained deeper insights into Malaysia’s fintech trends and explored potential partnerships, opening new doors for Taiwanese innovation in the Southeast Asian market.
Taiwan’s Diverse FinTech Capabilities
The delegation represented a broad range of capabilities — from RegTech, data integration to enterprise solutions — with mature, market-ready products and strong global potential:
- TOPPAN Security – Specializes in mobile identity verification and FIDO passwordless authentication. In 2024, with support from FinTechSpace, the company successfully deployed its TOPPAN Security facial recognition eKYC solutions in Malaysia’s AEON Bank and Hong Leong Assurance, marking a significant milestone in Southeast Asian market adoption and demonstrating strong institutional trust.
- On-us – Utilizes AI-powered marketing tools for financial institutions, integrating digital vouchers and modular analytics to deliver data-driven, precision marketing solutions.

The five teams also visited key partners in Malaysia’s fintech ecosystem, exploring market trends and opportunities for collaboration.
Deepening Taiwan – Malaysia FinTech Ties
Malaysia, with strong government support for its digital economy, has become a prime market for Taiwanese fintech expansion. In July 2024, FinTechSpace led nine startups to Malaysia, signing an MoU with the Fintech Association of Malaysia (FAOM) and co-hosting “Taiwan Fintech Day” with Malaysia Digital Economy Corporation (MDEC), significantly boosting Taiwan’s visibility and market connections.
Global Expansion Beyond Malaysia
In addition to MyFintech Week, FinTechSpace supports delegations to Japan and the Singapore Fintech Festival later this year, reinforcing its role as a cross-border cooperation platform to help Taiwan’s fintech innovators making their mark on the global stage.
