DBS CEO, Piyush Gupta spoken about threat of Fintech in 2017:
“Alipay hit $100b in less than a year with no branches. They gave out $60m lines of credit in Singles’ Day shopping festival. No bank in the world can do that today. These companies have an installed customer base and so are a far more formidable challenge for banks.”
