The banking industry is anticipating unprecedented change, as the era of Open Banking takes shape. At the heart of this regulatory and technological revolution is the customer, demanding instant, secure and cross-border payments. To satisfy their customers, incumbent banks need to come up with cutting-edge solutions that will completely transform the industry in the coming years. The offering of challenger banks has diversified exponentially unencumbered by old systems and structures. To keep up with the market, traditional players are partnering with FinTechs for a much-needed infusion of innovation.
PayExpo this year will explore all these themes, starting by taking an in-depth look at Open Banking in the UK & around the world, analysing the opportunities and challenges involved.
The conference will then delve into issues regarding the implementation of PSD2, opportunities around AI/ML, the challenges of TPP identity & regulatory checking, instant cross-border payments, SME finance, the future in a world without cash and many more disputed industry topics.
In addition to the world-class content, you'll also have access to over 60 leading payments in the exhibition hall where experts will be on-hand to support your business.
Retail banks qualify for free passes with unrestricted access to all event content, exhibition and networking.
Why you should be there
We have designed dedicated conference sessions to ensure you leave with all the know-how and insight about Open Banking, PSD2, instant and cross-border payments, AI/ML you need to take your business to new heights. Join us next October to:
- Find out how Open Banking is shaping customer platforms through API's
- Meet the FinTechs that have the potential to become your future partners
- Hear from regulators and experts in our dedicated conference sessions or over a coffee
