Welcome to the Next Frontier: Atlanta 2026

Dear Colleagues,
Welcome to the 11th U.S. Edition of the Instant Payments Summit 2026, taking place in Atlanta — a city that continues to shape the future of payments innovation and financial leadership.
Building on the tremendous success of our Chicago edition, this year’s summit will be bigger, deeper, and more dynamic than ever — featuring 200+ senior delegates, 50+ visionary speakers, and 20+ sponsors and exhibitors driving the next wave of payment transformation.
As instant payment networks like FedNow and RTP mature, the focus for financial institutions has shifted from implementation to intelligent adoption — maximizing efficiency, managing liquidity in real time, and safeguarding against evolving fraud threats. With instant payments now a customer expectation rather than an option, the conversation has never been more relevant.
This year, we’re giving you a sneak peek beyond instant. The opening day will delve into the latest advancements in real-time payments and interoperability, while the following sessions broaden the horizon — exploring how ACH, card, A2A, and treasury modernization are converging to redefine how money moves. Together, these discussions will illuminate how financial institutions can build faster, safer, and smarter payment ecosystems for the digital era.
Join us in Atlanta, where innovation meets collaboration — and where the future of payments comes to life.
Best regards,
Parry Batta
Managing Director, Kinfos Events
