Banking-as-a-Service (BaaS) gaining momentum in APAC

Banking-as-a-Service (BaaS) is gaining momentum in APAC, with a significant number of banks and financial institutions recognizing the need to enhance their digital capabilities.

The company’s report indicates that the appetite for BaaS services in APAC exceeds that of other regions, with a high percentage of senior executives already implementing or planning to implement BaaS solutions. This trend is expected to drive substantial investment in financial products and service partnerships across APAC.
