Welcome Note
Dear Colleagues,
Welcome to the 10th US Edition of the Instant Payments & Fraud Management Summit – Chicago 2025! After a successful Spring edition in Charlotte earlier this year, we’re excited to return to the U.S. for our flagship Fall edition—this time in the dynamic city of Chicago.
As real-time payments continue to reshape the U.S. banking landscape, this summit arrives at a pivotal time. With increasing adoption of FedNow and RTP, financial institutions are moving swiftly to modernize their payments infrastructure. Yet, alongside this momentum comes a surge in fraud risks, making fraud prevention, detection, and management a top strategic priority across the ecosystem.
This year’s summit will dive deep into how U.S. banks and payment providers are balancing speed with security—leveraging AI, behavioral analytics, biometrics, and advanced monitoring tools to stay ahead of evolving threats. From ACH fraud to synthetic identities and APP scams, we will explore practical, actionable strategies to protect customers and build digital trust in the real-time era.
We’re proud to bring this milestone 10th edition to Chicago, a city known for its financial leadership and fintech innovation. Over the years, the Instant Payments Summit has grown into a must-attend platform across Europe and North America—uniting banking executives, regulators, technology leaders, and risk professionals to shape the future of fast, secure payments.
Join us this Fall for cutting-edge discussions, proven case studies, and meaningful networking as we explore what’s next for real-time payments and fraud management in the U.S.
We look forward to welcoming you to Chicago!
Best regards,
