Why Hong Kong and Asia-Pacific’s FinTech Sector…

• 59.6% of the world’s population (4.58 billion) live in the APAC (Asia Pacific) region
• By 2020 Millennials and Generation X will control 50% of all investable assets.
• APAC’s unbanked population is large
• 73% in SE Asia or 438
• 250 million in India
• 500 million in China
• 75% of Asian consumers use a smartphone
• According to a 2019 FICO survey of APAC banks and bankers:
• 91% of risk officers see themselves behind banks in the US and Europe in terms of implementing AI technologies
• 68% see credit decisions will benefit most from AI and machine learning
• 74% fraud will increase moderately or significantly in 2019
• 50% of banks simply block cards on first fraud alert
• Fraud is the leading indicator for 80% while only 6% ranked customer satisfaction as their No. 1 metric!
• 80% of AML budgets are related to headcounts…..done manually by large AML teams
• Six of the top 10 FinTech Hubs are in Asia

Cost benefits of participating in this Roadshow, a Certified Trade Mission

• The U.S. Consulate is the “convener of stature” for the Certified Trade Mission which lends a prestige to the event, helps guarantee the quality of the attendees, and limits the attrition prior to the event.
• Without the trade mission format it would be impossible to arrange and schedule up to 10 meetings in one day with pre-qualified Asia Pacific. It would require multiple days and multiple trips. This is a major benefit in terms of dollars, time, and energy saved.
• The same level of meetings would probably require a minimum of two to three trips to meet the same number of high-level people. Those additional trips are equivalent to many times more the cost than the Trade Mission in terms of airfare and hotel alone.
• Without U.S. Government support, and due to Hong Kong’s and the many APAC business environments, you would most likely need to hire an in-country representative, which would be a significant up-front cash expenditure.
• There are no commissions charged on any deal – investment, partnership, or sale you generate from the Trade Mission – ever.
• There is a cost in time and energy involved in identifying prospects, securing contact info, contacting the prospects, convincing them to meet and then coordinating the schedule in an efficient manner. The Trade Mission takes place on one and a half day and all the pre-qualified and vetted APAC FinTech companies come to you. This is a major advantage and a significant save in time, expense and opportunity cost. It is true: “Time is Money”.
