Guangzhou Digital Technology Group has strengthened its engagement in Southeast Asia following a strategic business mission to Indonesia, Thailand and Vietnam focused on artificial intelligence, digital banking, and smart infrastructure partnerships.
The delegation, led by Vice Chairman and General Manager Xia Jian, met banks, technology companies and ecosystem partners across the region to deepen cooperation in digital transformation, localized innovation, and next-generation financial services.
“Digital transformation is accelerating across Southeast Asia, creating significant opportunities for innovation and regional collaboration,” Mr. Xia said during the visit. “Guangzhou Digital Technology Group is committed to working closely with local partners and customers to build more intelligent, efficient and inclusive digital ecosystems powered by AI and advanced financial technologies.”
Expanding Digital Banking Cooperation
Financial technology remains central to the Group’s globalization strategy. Through subsidiary GRGBanking, GZDG is working with financial institutions to modernize banking infrastructure through intelligent self-service terminals and smart branch solutions.
In Indonesia, the delegation met long-term partner PT. Asia Sinergi Solusindo (Assindo), which specializes in ATM outsourcing and managed banking services. During the visit, GRGBanking signed a strategic cooperation agreement with Assindo to further strengthen collaboration in digital banking, smart branch transformation, and localized financial technology services.
Under the agreement, both sides will jointly expand the deployment of intelligent banking terminals and next-generation self-service solutions across Indonesian financial institutions, while enhancing localized delivery, technical support, and market development capabilities.
GRGBanking solutions are already deployed across several Indonesian financial institutions through Assindo, helping banks improve accessibility, operational efficiency, and customer service. In 2025, the partnership successfully secured and delivered multiple banking projects in Indonesia, with more than 200 intelligent terminals deployed to local banks including Bank Kalteng and Bank Maluku Malut.
Discussions during the visit also focused on smart branch transformation, equipment optimization and the expansion of AI-enabled digital banking capabilities tailored to local market demand.
“The strategic partnership with Assindo reflects our long-term commitment to the Indonesian market,” Mr. Xia said. “By combining local expertise with advanced financial technologies, we aim to help banks accelerate digital transformation and deliver more intelligent and inclusive financial services.”

In Thailand, GZDG held talks with DataOne and SVOA Group, long-standing partners involved in large-scale banking deployments nationwide. More than 5,000 smart financial terminals are currently operating across Thailand, serving major institutions including Government Savings Bank (GSB), Bank for Agriculture and Agricultural Cooperatives (BAAC) and Government Housing Bank (GHB).
The discussions centered on how banks can move beyond traditional ATM networks towards more integrated digital banking environments that combine automation, intelligent services, and enhanced customer experiences.

Certainly, Southeast Asia is not only a key growth market, but also is an important long-term strategic partner in digital transformation,” Bobby Lee, General Manager of GRG HK, a member of delegation, said. “We are committed to strengthening localized operations, enhancing service capabilities, and working closely with regional partners to build sustainable digital finance ecosystems powered by AI and intelligent technologies. We will continue supporting financial institutions across the region in accelerating digital transformation and advancing financial inclusion.”
