Welcome to the NextGen Payments & RegTech Forum 2026 in Barcelona!
Join us at the iconic W Barcelona for an inspiring one-day forum at the intersection of payments, compliance and RegTech. Set against the backdrop of one of Europe’s most vibrant innovation hubs, this Forum brings together senior leaders, disruptors and regulatory experts to unpack what is next for the European payments ecosystem.
Across a full day of keynote presentations, strategic panel discussions and practical case studies, you will explore how instant and real-time payments, open banking, digital identity, and embedded finance are reshaping customer journeys and business models. You will also gain clarity on the fast-evolving EU regulatory agenda – from PSD3/PSR and the Instant Payments Regulation, to the new EU AML package, Digital Euro developments and data-sharing frameworks.
Whether you represent a bank, payment institution, fintech, merchant, RegTech provider, card scheme or regulatory body, the Forum is designed to deliver concrete, actionable insights and open the door to high-value partnerships across Europe and beyond.
Do not miss your chance to connect with peers and decision-makers, benchmark your strategy, and experience the unique energy of Barcelona’s fintech and payments community.
