(NASDAQ: TGL) (“Treasure Global” or the “Company”), a Southeast Asia–anchored technology company, today announced its participation in the 2nd ASEAN Banking & Finance Summit 2026, where its Chief Executive Officer, Carlson Thow, received the ASEAN Fintech Icon Award in recognition of leadership in advancing fintech innovation and digital platform development in the region.
Held at The Ritz-Carlton Kuala Lumpur, the summit convened policymakers, business leaders, technology companies and financial sector stakeholders under the theme “Navigating Banking in a New Geo-economic Era – Enhancing Trust, Technology, Talent, Transformation.”

The panel explored the evolving role of leadership, governance and institutional trust as financial institutions adapt to accelerating technological change and shifting global economic dynamics.
The Company believes the recognition reflects Treasure Global’s broader platform strategy across payments, loyalty, merchant digitalisation and fintech expansion, as well as its growing participation in regional conversations around digital transformation, financial innovation and inclusive economic growth.
