Aiman Ismail

I’m a FinTech Solutions Consultant with 8 years of experience across central banking, blockchain infrastructure, and cross-border payments, supporting regulated institutions across APAC. I translate complex Web3 and stablecoin infrastructure into adoption-ready solutions that respect regulatory and governance requirements.

Most recently, I led technical discovery and architected a secure DeFi Gateway with smart-contract-enforced KYC for SMBC Nikko Securities (Japan), closing a USD 115K+ institutional partnership. I also drove APAC solutions engineering across Singapore, Japan, and South Korea, partnering closely with product and engineering to remove product gaps and align with cross-jurisdictional constraints.

Earlier, at the Central Bank of Malaysia, I helped shape national guidance by co-authoring the “Discussion Paper” on AI in the Malaysian financial sector, coordinating consultations with 50+ institutions. I secured leadership endorsement, improved regulatory sandbox participation, and designed a Shark Tank-style innovation pitch program for MyFintechWeek 2025, while my prior work at the same bank delivered SWIFT/Findur integration that automated settlement cycles and reduced latency with rigorous compliance.
