Rising Stars

What does success look like across the payments industry in 2024? With Silicon Valley Bank’s implosion and HSBC Innovation Banking’s birth at the forefront of our minds, the sector must not undermine the rising stars emerging across fintech. Newcomers with alternative skills are increasingly being welcomed in every incumbent bank, and those with awareness of technology are driving the evolution of how money moves today. What can these savvy individuals teach banks and payments services providers? How can traditional players watch out for disintermediation? What can we do to not get left behind? These and other questions will be at the core of this EBAday lunchtime session.

13:45 - 14:30

What does the upcoming PSD3, PSR and the IP regulation mean for the payments sector?

In which ways will upcoming European regulation impact PSPs? When should they start preparing? Does increasing regulatory intervention represent a threat or an opportunity for traditional financial institutions?

Open Banking and embedded finance: how far have we come?

How can the end-users’ payments experience be improved? In which ways do the underlying architecture need to develop to satisfy customers? Which pain points remain? Is the EPC’s SPAA scheme instrumental in paving the way for Open Banking in SEPA?

14:45 - 15:30

AI in banking and payments

PSPs have used rule-based AI, such as machine learning and robotics process automation for a long time. Now new forms of AI around large language models, such as generative AI, open opportunities to differentiate. In which organisational areas and services should banks pursue their AI investment? What are the risks involved?

14:45 - 15:30

New approaches to fraud management

Fraud is the topic of concern to everyone in payments. As financial crime evolves, so must payments security. What are fresh strategies to combat financial crime? Which collaborative approach is best suited to mitigate new fraud risks?
