SUMMARY:The Future Menu of Cross-Border Payments: Fiat\, Stablecoins\, or a Hybrid?
DESCRIPTION:Cross-border payments are at a turning point. For decades\, the system relied on a slow\, costly correspondent banking model. Now\, new solutions are reshaping the landscape; from card networks leveraging FX and liquidity strengths to stablecoins promising cheaper\, faster settlement.  \nBut do these innovations solve the root issues? Stablecoins still face on/off-ramp frictions\, liquidity costs\, and new compliance risks. Meanwhile\, card incumbents like Mastercard and Visa are modernising cross-border with real-time payout rails. A new software-driven layer is emerging\, one that enables real-time pricing\, authenticated KYT\, “see-through” KYCC\, consented data sharing\, and pre-transaction decisioning across 100% of flows.  \nJoin this webinar for an objective\, fact-based discussion on the emerging innovations in cross-border payments\, the opportunities and the ‘hype’ around stablecoins\, as well as what’s necessary to make these payments safe\, fast and transparent beyond the payment form factor.  \n  \nWhat we’ll cover:  \n\nThe root-causes of the problem with cross-border payments – Foreign currency liquidity? Regulations? Risk? Manual flows? A disconnected and disparate network of bank partners?    \n\n\nThe conversion challenge - Stablecoins still require on/off ramps that impact cost and speed – how does this compare to other existing methods?  \n\n\nNo one-size-fits-all Solution - Why the future will likely feature a “menu” of cross-border payment options rather than a single standard. \n\n\nInnovations from traditional players - How Mastercard\, Visa\, and others are reinventing their cross-border strategies. \n\nThe Big Question\nWill cross-border payments stay anchored in fiat\, pivot to stablecoins\, or evolve into a hybrid model? Join us for a candid discussion on what the next chapter will look like – and what it takes to make global payments safer\, faster\, and regulation-ready.  \nJoin this discussion on 23rd October to get practical tips on how to protect your organisation and turn compliance into a competitive advantage!  \n  \nThe Speakers: \n  \n  \n \n \n15:00 Welcome remarks  \n15:10 Panel Discussion with Live Q&A \n15:55 Closing remarks \n16:00 Finish \n
