The discussions revolved around the core issues facing financial services businesses operating in various sectors and the ability of such businesses to transact in digital currency. The financial services topics also included a discussion on payment systems, networks and services along with a detailed overview of e-Payment Licenses, e-Wallet Licenses and exemptions from licensing requirements under the Payment Systems Act.
