Europe's payment industry is at a pivotal moment. A reshaping of the landscape that has created new opportunities for incumbents and disruptors to win customers, develop new solutions, and claim market share of a global payments system that is set to reach $3 trillion by 2026 (McKinsey). Yet if leaders don't get ahead of major regulatory and infrastructure upheaval, we won't fully unlock the worldwide market potential for frictionless payments. These challenges set the stage for incredible product innovation, as leaders respond to the 2023 Financial Services and Markets Bill, New Payments Architecture, UK CHAPS migration to ISO 20022, and PSD2/3 initiatives. In this context, achieving widespread Open Banking adoption, seamless Instant Payments integration, Digital ID implementation, and effective fraud reduction presents a formidable challenge for payments leaders.  That's why, at Transform Payments Europe 2023, our impact agenda will delve deeper than ever before into the critical issues keeping payments leaders awake at night. This approach means going beyond the superficial discussions typically held at conferences to unlock the all-new insights, tools, tactics and connections you really need for success.  Join us to explore the profound implications of impending regulations, facilitate instant and cross-border payments, adapt infrastructure for future needs, seamlessly migrate legacy tech-stacks, drive product innovation, and fortify fraud prevention measures.
