Representatives of The Access Bank Malta Limited, Mr Vincent Farrugia – Chief Operations Officer and Mr Giovanni Farrugia – Head of Treasury, recently attended the Sibos 2025 Conference in Frankfurt – the premier annual conference, exhibition and networking event organised by Swift for the financial industry where 12,500 participants, 500 speakers and 200 exhibitors gathered to explore ‘The next frontiers of global finance’.
Sibos drives the agenda for the transformation of the financial service industry, bringing together an expansive range of viewpoints from around the world. Sibos brings together thousands of participants, allowing the community to reconnect and build new relationships. Condensing a year’s worth of conversation into four days, Sibos offers networking opportunities and events to support business development, collaborative learning and shared experiences.
The 2025 conference programme explored the digital evolution of payments and securities, increasing financial access, bolstering financial crime compliance, cybersecurity, regulatory shifts, and the role of technologies such as AI, quantum and Distributed Ledger Technologies (DLT). The main topics in focus during the four days of SIBOS were Payments, Securities and FX, Trade, Artificial Intelligence (AI) & Innovation, and Environmental Social and Governance (ESG) & Diversity Equity and Inclusion (DEI).
Sibos continues to be a powerful platform for collaboration, learning, and driving innovation. For The Access Bank Malta Limited, it was an invaluable opportunity to connect with global stakeholders, exchange insights and reinforce our commitment to sustainable international growth.
