Welcome to the Next Frontier: Frankfurt 2026
Dear Colleagues,
Welcome to the 10th Annual Instant Payments Summit 2026, taking place in Frankfurt — the financial heart of Europe and a hub driving innovation, regulation, and transformation across the payments landscape.
Building on the tremendous success of our previous editions, this year’s summit will be bigger, deeper, and more dynamic than ever — bringing together 150+ senior delegates, 30+ visionary speakers, and 15+ sponsors and exhibitors shaping the future of instant payments and digital banking in Europe.
As the EU Instant Payments Regulation takes effect and PSD3 and PSR redefine the open banking framework, financial institutions are moving from compliance to value creation — leveraging real-time infrastructure, rich ISO 20022 data, and intelligent fraud prevention to deliver seamless, trusted payments. With instant payments becoming the new normal, the timing for these discussions could not be more critical.
This year’s agenda goes beyond instant focusing on the regulatory, technical, and operational readiness for full-scale instant payment adoption across SEPA, while the following sessions explore multi-rail innovation, A2A modernization, and cross-border connectivity. Together, these insights will help banks, PSPs, and fintechs accelerate their real-time transformation journey.
Join us in Frankfurt, where Europe’s payment leaders converge to exchange ideas, collaborate, and shape the next generation of faster, safer, and smarter payments.
Best regards,
Parry Batta
Managing Director, Kinfos Events
