Event Summary
Innovation in the payments industry has been rapidly evolving over the past few years, driven by advances in technology, changing consumer expectations, and the increasing demand for more secure, efficient, and seamless transactions. Digital wallets, open banking and API, the use of AI to prevent fraud, BNPL and digital currencies all present opportunities for the payments sector. However, they must also be subject to effective regulation to maintain confidence in the financial system and protect consumers.
Reconciling the potential tension between innovation and regulation is one of the key themes at the summit. We are delighted that Victoria Cleland, Executive Director, Payments, Bank of England has agreed to give a keynote address at the Summit. Book your place today for exclusive access to the Bank of England’s plans for encouraging innovation in the payments industry.
Other confirmed speakers include:
-
David Geale, Chief Executive, Payment Systems Regulator
-
Matthew Long, Director, Payments and Digital Assets, Financial Conduct Authority
-
Tony Craddock, Director General, London, Payments Association
-
Janine Hirt, Chief Executive, Innovate Finance
