Europe’s retail payments landscape is undergoing rapid change, driven by new technologies, evolving consumer expectations, new payment solutions and a changing regulatory environment. This educational seminar will bring together representatives from EU institutions, the payments industry, merchants and consumers to explore how the European payments ecosystem works today and the trends shaping its future.

Discussions will cover developments including AI, fraud prevention, new payment instruments and payment rails, and the growing demand for safe, seamless and integrated payment experiences.
