Industry Roundtable: Cross-Border Payments Collaboration and Inclusive Growth in Emerging Markets in the AI Era

At the same time, during the conference, Ma Xiao, Head of Lianlian Bank Partnerships, and Jiang Jie, Head of LianLian Global Hong Kong, were invited to join themed roundtable discussions. Drawing on industry practice, they shared key insights and outlined new pathways and core logic for the coordinated development of fintech and the global financial system.

During the roundtable titled “Fintech and Banks,” Ma Xiao highlighted that the global payments system is rapidly evolving from a “single-point capability” model to a “layered collaboration” framework. In this structure, banks serve as the underlying infrastructure, responsible for global clearing networks and liquidity management, while fintech companies such as Lianlian build on top of these systems to create a “retail layer” of services for businesses. This approach transforms complex cross-border payment channels into accessible product capabilities, enabling enterprises to manage multi-scenario fund flows more efficiently.

At the same time, fintech is playing an increasingly critical role in both compliance and value creation. On one hand, through technology-enabled, front-loaded risk control and verification, fintech companies act as “compliance aggregators,” improving efficiency while filtering risks and helping banks scale their trust capabilities. On the other hand, by leveraging insights from transaction data and business flows, fintech collaborates with banks to more accurately assess the operating conditions of small and medium-sized enterprises. This shift supports a transition from experience-driven to data-driven capital allocation, enhancing the accessibility of financial services.

At the roundtable titled “Different Worlds, Same Challenges: Building Bridges for Emerging Markets,” Jiang Jie noted that the focus of financial inclusion is shifting from “scale of coverage” to “practical usability.” The ability to sustainably serve long-tail groups such as small and micro merchants and overseas workers ultimately depends on continuous optimization of product design and operational capabilities.

In emerging markets, small merchants often face challenges such as difficulty in opening accounts, complex cross-border collections, high FX costs, and complicated tax requirements. However, many existing solutions still follow traditional enterprise-level logic, with cumbersome KYB processes and long review cycles that do not align with the “light-asset, high-frequency, fast-turnover” nature of small businesses. In response, Lianlian has reduced barriers to fund flows by providing local collection accounts, optimizing FX mechanisms, and improving settlement efficiency. At the same time, it has restructured account frameworks, verification processes, and fund visibility to better align services with users’ real business and daily needs.

As digital technology continues to integrate with the real economy, the combined innovation of AI and blockchain is reshaping the underlying logic of global financial services. Lianlian DigiTech has long focused on AI-driven innovation, global compliance system development, and the expansion of its global service network. With its global licensing footprint, compliance expertise, localized service capabilities, and technological stability, the company has earned broad trust from regulators, markets, clients, and ecosystem partners worldwide.

Looking ahead, Lianlian DigiTech will continue to build on its cross-border experience and compliance expertise to develop AI-native core capabilities, deepen collaboration with global ecosystem partners, and evolve from a “payment network” into an “end-to-end intelligent infrastructure builder.” The goal is to become a trusted value-connecting infrastructure in the AI-driven global era, delivering more convenient, efficient, and intelligent cross-border financial services to customers worldwide.

New proprietary grade family delivers up to 3x throughput improvement; company to showcase at ISME VIETNAM 2026 Booths 132-135

Loudi, China, 28th Apr 2026 – Hunan Tianyi High-tech Materials Manufacturing Co., Ltd. (“TianYi High-Tech”), a nationally recognized high-tech enterprise and national “Little Giant” specialized enterprise, announced the official launch of its TA Series — a new generation of cemented carbide roller rings engineered specifically for high-speed wire rod and bar rolling mills. The TA Series encompasses three specialized grades: TA30 for ultra-high-speed wire rod finishing blocks, TA40 for high-speed bar mills in the 12-16 mm range, and TA50 for high-speed bar mills in the 18-25 mm range — each delivering measurable gains in throughput, wear life, and thermal stability.
The announcement coincides with TianYi High-Tech’s participation at ISME VIETNAM 2026, where the company will present the TA Series live at Booths 132-135 at the Hanoi Metallurgy & Steel Exhibition. The event marks a significant milestone in TianYi High-Tech’s expansion strategy across Southeast Asia, with a presence spanning Vietnam, Japan, Indonesia, Malaysia, South Korea, and Thailand.

A New Chapter in Roller Ring Performance
Modern rolling mills are under constant pressure to increase throughput without sacrificing product quality.
