“Action is the Foundational Key to All Success”
Pablo Picasso
The Payments landscape is accelerating, driven by real-time rails, A2A flows, embedded finance, and AI-powered risk controls, while customers demand seamless, secure, and instant experiences.
At the same time, RegTech has matured: agile, integrated, and analytics-led solutions now deliver precision oversight, faster compliance cycles, and stronger, enterprise-wide risk alignment.
The 24th NextGen Payments & RegTech Forum returns to Zurich, Switzerland, to explore how banks, fintechs, PSPs, and regulators are optimising operations and unlocking growth through the latest technological and regulatory advancements. Expect candid insights on instant payments and Open Finance, AI in compliance, stablecoins/CBDCs, fraud and AML, data privacy, and the operational playbooks that turn innovation into ROI.
Join a curated community of global influencers, strategists, and decision-makers. Network. Benchmark. Accelerate.
Engage in practical discussions on market shifts, regulatory change, and execution at scale - and leave with clear next steps you can put into effect immediately.
The 24th NextGen Payments & RegTech Forum is the premier event for forward-thinking professionals in the payments, compliance and regulatory sectors.
