Asia Cash Cycle Seminar Turns 30

Since its inception in 1995, the Cash Cycle Seminar, organised by Currency Research (CR) has united industry leaders to share insights and innovations shaping the future of cash. Marking its third decade, the Asia Cash Cycle Seminar 2025, which took place 22-25 September in Bali, Indonesia, carried the theme ‘Cash Cycle 360: Redefining Resilience with Technology & Trust’.

As digital payments increase, the cash industry faces a crucial moment. The discussions in Bali made it clear: the future isn’t cashless – it’s a world where cash and digital payments coexist, not compete, driven by technology, trust, and collaboration.

Programme overview

The opening day focused on workshops and association meetings with 153 delegates from 64 organisations, including 16 central banks, 24 cash in transit companies, and four commercial banks attending.
