About the Asia Cash Cycle Seminar

The Asia Cash Cycle Seminar returns to Kuala Lumpur, Malaysia on 13-15 September 2027, bringing the region’s cash community back together for three days of learning, exchange and connection.

Since its inception in 1995, the Cash Cycle Seminar has become the premier global event for commercial cash management, distribution and circulation. It unites central banks, commercial banks, cash-in-transit and cash management operators, and the suppliers and technology providers who serve them, to share insights, strategies and cost-saving innovations shaping the future of cash.

We invite you to join the expert-led sessions, frank debate and real-world case studies, in a setting designed for conversations that continue long after the day’s programme closes.

Benefits of Attending

Complementing a well-crafted program, our nearly 40 industry speakers expertly delivered the sessions. Covering a wide range of topics such as Global Trends in Cash and Payments, Sustainability in the Cash Cycle, Cash Cycle Efficiency, Financial Inclusion, Counterfeit Trends, and more, our speakers brought their extensive knowledge to the forefront. Their presentations were not only informative but also highly valuable, equipping attendees with actionable insights to implement within their respective organizations.

This event is the most recognized educational seminar in the region to focus on the complete cash cycle, promoting efficiency and security in cash operations by Central Banks, Commercial Banks, Cash Management Companies (CMCs) / CITs, and others. The depth and quality of our programming – developed and curated by Currency Research’s experts with over 200+ years of combined industry experience – provide incredible value to our delegates, who take away advice, feedback, and strategies to implement in their home organizations.

 

The seminar is held in a relaxed and professional environment that offers the perfect setting for effective networking. You can actively participate in discussions, ask questions, and enjoy one-on-one interactions with key executives from Central Banks, Commercial/Retail Banks, Cash Management Companies/Armored Carriers, and other prominent figures in the commercial cash industry. It’s a unique opportunity to get to know your commercial cash industry leaders and peers, fostering relationships that can have a lasting impact on your professional journey.

Visit sponsor exhibits from the leading industry suppliers and learn of their new technologies and services that will help you reduce costs—all under one roof.

The nation’s capital began in the 1850s as a tin-mining camp at the muddy meeting of two rivers, which is what the name means. Barely 170 years later, it is a capital of towers, and the seams still show in the best way. Moorish domes and colonial arcades sit in the shade of glass skyscrapers. A Chinese temple, a mosque and a Hindu shrine can occupy the same few blocks, and on any given month one of them is celebrating something. Malay, Chinese and Indian communities built this place side by side, and the result is a city that never settled on a single character.

Food is the reason many people come and the reason they return. Nasi lemak eaten from a banana-leaf parcel before eight in the morning. Roti canai torn and dragged through dhal at a mamak stall at two in the morning, because mamak stalls do not close. Char kway teow with the smoky char that only a scorching wok delivers. Banana-leaf rice in Brickfields, Nyonya cooking that took generations to work out, satay over coals, and thick sweet kopi in a tiled kopitiam where the ceiling fans have been turning since the sixties. Jalan Alor is the famous street, lit red by lanterns and thick with grill smoke.

There is plenty to walk between. The Petronas Towers and the skybridge, KL Tower rising from a patch of preserved rainforest in the middle of the city, and Bukit Bintang, where the shopping runs from luxury malls to night-market stalls in the space of a few hundred metres. West of there is the older city: Merdeka Square, where the flag first went up in 1957, the confection of a railway station, Masjid Jamek at the river confluence, and Chinatown’s Petaling Street, all awnings and bargaining. The Islamic Arts Museum holds one of the finest collections of its kind anywhere. And a short ride north, 272 painted steps climb past a golden statue into the limestone caverns of Batu Caves, where macaques patrol the handrails.

Come hungry, bring an umbrella and explore this fabulous city…

Before making any travel arrangements to visit Malaysia, please consult a Malaysian Embassy or Consulate in your country to find out whether you require a Visa for your passport of origin.

Visa-Free:
Over 130 nationalities enter without a visa for stays of up to 90 days, depending on passport. Citizens of the United States, United Kingdom, EU member states, Japan, South Korea, Australia, Canada and the Gulf states generally receive up to 90 days. ASEAN nationals, except Myanmar, do not require a visa for stays under 30 days.

Visa required in advance:
A smaller group must obtain a visa before travel, applied for through the official eVisa portal or a Malaysian mission. This group includes but is not limited to: Bangladesh, Pakistan, Sri Lanka, Nigeria, Ghana and several other African nations, Syria, Iraq and Afghanistan, and several former Soviet states. Please be sure to check if your passport of origin requires a visa.

Two visa types:

  • VTR — visa for social or tourist visits, applied for directly.
  • VDR / eVDR (visa with reference) — required for work, study and certain other purposes, and needs an approved eVAL (visa approval letter) before the visa application can be lodged. This adds weeks to the timeline.

eVisa applications must be made via malaysiavisa.imi.gov.my, operated by the Immigration Department. Documents typically required: passport bio page, photograph, flight bookings, hotel confirmation, bank statements. Fees vary by nationality and are shown in ringgit at checkout.

Malaysia Digital Arrival Card (MDAC): 

  • This is free. Submit online at imigresen-online.imi.gov.my/mdac/main

This seminar provided an opportunity to engage in in-depth discussions with central banks from various countries on this issue, and the relevant experiences are highly valuable for reference.”
