Instant payments are expected to reach $156 trillion globally by 2030, while fraud attempts are rising at an alarming rate. At this pivotal moment, the need for secure, scalable instant payment systems has never been more urgent.
In Charlotte, we will bring together leaders from the Federal Reserve, TCH, and other key stakeholders to explore the latest challenges and innovations shaping instant payments in the USA. Later, our European edition will return to Frankfurt, where we will host key figures from EPC, ECB, and EBA Clearing, diving into the pressing topics influencing the European market.
These two distinct shows focus on their respective regional priorities, fostering targeted discussions on fraud management, new technologies, and strategies for building a secure, integrated global instant payments ecosystem.
