SUMMARY:Why do banks need to embrace the digital wallet revolution?
DESCRIPTION:Digital wallets are changing the way we consume goods and services. Some of the factors accelerating the payments transformation include the National Payments Vision’s focus on digital assets and accelerated digital-first approach\, as well as increasing consumer demand for faster and user-friendly methods of payments.  \n  \nHow is the role of banks evolving with these changes and why should they embrace the digital wallet revolution? How will the rise of digital wallets impact their competitive edge?  \n Hosted on 7th May in partnership with Terrapay\, this webinar will explore the digital wallets landscape and emerging role of banks: \n\n As established and heavily regulated institutions\, could banks become the preferred trusted custodians for e-wallets  to ensure security and consumer protection? \n\n\nWhat are the emerging customer demographics and how is this changing the way people access money? \n\n\nIn a world where ROI is key\, how are organisations providing cost-efficient and instantaneous means of payments for both B2C and B2B transactions? \n\n\nAs the global payments ecosystems grows more and more complex\, what interoperability possibilities are offered by digital wallets ? \n\n\nHow are banks building a cost-effective infrastructure that supports global interoperability?   \n\n  \nJoin us on 7th May at 14:00 – 15:00 BST for an expert discussion to understand the opportunities this shift creates for banks and merchants to expand reach\, capture new revenue\, and deliver on the promise of true financial inclusion. \n  \nSpeakers:

SUMMARY:Stablecoins and the Shift to Hybrid Finance: A Practical Guide for Payments Professionals
DESCRIPTION:Stablecoins are no longer a crypto side story. They are fast becoming a serious part of global payments infrastructure.  \nAs regulators move\, institutions engage\, and cross border inefficiencies persist\, a new model is emerging. Traditional banking rails are converging with blockchain based settlement\, creating what many are calling hybrid finance. The question is no longer whether stablecoins matter\, but how and when payments professionals should engage with them.  \nIn this session\, Sokin and The Payments Association will cut through the noise to examine what stablecoins actually are\, whether they are safe\, and how they fit into real world payment operations.  \nSession Takeaways:  \nJoin Sokin and a panel of industry experts to discuss:  \n\nWhat stablecoins really are and how they work in practice\, not theory \n\n\nThe biggest myths around volatility\, risk and criminal exposure\, and what the data shows \n\n\nTrust and safety: reserve backing\, transparency\, regulatory oversight and counterparty considerations \n\n\nWhy hybrid finance is emerging\, and what it means for cross border settlement and liquidity \n\n\nHow stablecoins can integrate into your existing treasury\, settlement and payout processes \n\n\nThe strategic decisions payments firms should be making now to avoid being left behind \n\n  \nSpeakers: \n

SUMMARY:Exposing the Critical Trust Intersections Between Stablecoins and Banks
DESCRIPTION:Can stablecoins and decentralised finance ever truly operate without trust\, or does trust simply relocate? While blockchain introduces speed\, programmability\, and transparency\, real-world cross-border payments still depend on verifiable data\, regulatory compliance\, funding certainty\, and enforceability under law. The greatest risks rarely sit in the payment rail itself\, risks emerge in off-chain workflows\, data integrity\, counterparty oversight\, compliance orchestration\, reserve validation or financial integrity\, redemption mechanics\, and ultimately who “owns” the risk when something fails.  \nIn this webinar\, we’ll apply a practical trust test to stablecoin workflows and examine how trust shifts across issuers\, reserve managers\, oracles\, smart contracts\, validators\, bridges\, custodians\, and off-chain intermediaries. We’ll explore why on-chain finality does not equal real-world settlement finality\, and why accountability remains central when something goes wrong.  \nWhen failures occur\, and they will\, regulators and courts won’t ask which chain processed the block – they’ll want to know “who’s accountable?” or “who’s left standing to make someone whole?”. The answer to the first question will likely be everyone who touched a transaction\, and the second is likely to be the deep-pocketed bank\, especially if everyone else is vaporised.   \nWe’ll explore the practical benefits and limits of stablecoins\, where they create efficiency and where they introduce new fragilities. We’ll also discuss how a Global Single Shared Platform can digitise risk\, compliance\, funding\, and settlement controls across financial institutions\, bringing regulator-grade transparency to both fiat and digital asset payment flows.  \nJoin this webinar to explore the use cases\, challenges\, and opportunities including:  \n\nHow is trust executed within stablecoin and DeFi ecosystems\, and how does it compare to traditional banking models? \n\n\nWhat responsibility do banks have in terms of governance\, operational\, and compliance considerations across mentors\, oracle design\, smart contracts\, validators\, bridges\, and redemption processes? \n\n\nFinancial integrity challenges across minting\, reserve management and redemption \n\n\nOvercoming the gaps between on chain and off chain data authentication and sharing in the context of risk\, compliance and data protection.  \n\n\nA Global Single Shared Platform as a technology bridge between on chain and off chain to ensure appropriate transparency\, risk and compliance digitization and financial integrity inside well-established banking and legal frameworks.  \n\n  \nSpeakers: \n

SUMMARY:Delivering the UK’s Financial Inclusion Strategy
DESCRIPTION:HM Treasury’s National Financial Inclusion Strategy has recently been published. It includes a vision for improving access to savings\, credit\, and insurance\, all with the aim of building greater financial security and resilience across the population; something TPA Inclusion Working Group have been calling for. But setting the Strategy is just the first step. The critical question now is: how do we deliver it?  \n  \nThis forward-looking webinar will explore:  \n  \n\nThe key payments innovations that could drive progress and help deliver the outcomes of the NFIS – from cards and account-to-account (A2A) payments to new digital tools and savings mechanisms. \n\n\nThe role of regulation\, policy\, and industry\, in achieving practical outcomes and measurable change. \n\n\nWhat kind of environment (policy\, technology\, and industry collaboration) is needed to scale solutions effectively? \n\n\nA critical discussion of whether the government’s strategy sets the right parameters for real impact: is it ambitious enough\, does it set a strong foundation to build from? \n\n  \n14:00 Welcome remarks  \n14:10 Panel Discussion with Live Q&A \n14:55 Closing remarks \n15:00 Finish \n  \nSpeakers:\n

SUMMARY:Innovation vs. Risk: Closing the Trust Gap in Instant Payments
DESCRIPTION:There is a trust gap that threatens consumer confidence and industry progress – as payment innovation accelerates\, so too does fraud. Rising threats such as account takeovers\, synthetic identities and APP scams underscore the double-edged sword of technologies like AI and real-time payments. Recent regulatory changes are fighting back. For example\, mandatory verification of payee (VoP) requirements are reshaping the landscape and reinforcing the need for robust data\, technology and collaboration to rebuild trust across the ecosystem. Is it enough?  \nIn this webinar\, hosted on Tuesday 17th February at 2pm GMT\, we’ll explore how firms can align compliance with innovation\, evolve processes to keep pace with faster rails\, and use real-world examples to inform effective fraud-risk strategies.   \nWe’ll tackle:  \n\nHow are instant payments regulations evolving to balance fraud and financial crime risk? \nHow can compliance and innovation be aligned without creating friction for the end-user? \nWhat operational and data-driven approaches are organisations using now? \nWhere do gaps remain in supporting organisations to manage risk? \n\n  \nHear from: \n \n

SUMMARY:The value of strategic compliance\, beyond the fines and penalties
DESCRIPTION:With the increasing regulatory assertiveness across sectors\, what do regulatory\, and compliance professionals need to consider to avoid fines within their organisations and turn compliance into a competitive advantage? In the context of recent examples of leading organisations receiving large fines – what have we learnt from cases of AML\, governance and infrastructure failures?  \nFinancial institutions should not only aim to embed compliance within the culture of their businesses\, demonstrate accountability and integrity\, but also see compliance as a competitive edge creating added value to the organisation. What are some practical ways to balance growth with robust regulatory frameworks?  \nHosted on Thursday 20th November at 14:00 GMT in partnership with LexisNexis Regulatory Compliance\, this webinar will review the learnings of recent cases and outline practical take-aways for senior regulatory and compliance professionals\, across the board:    \n\nBeyond the checklist: How to embed compliance within the culture of the organisation\, and every business decision? What is needed to ensure and demonstrate accountability and business integrity? \n\n\nNavigating the regulatory landscape: How to adapt a comprehensive framework when doing business globally? What are the differing obligations across sectors? How do they vary between traditional banking\, fintech and crypto? \n\n\nBuilding a strong anti-financial crime infrastructure: What is needed to define the right risk appetite for the organisation\, manage financial crime risk and set up an adapted governance framework? Who needs to be involved in the decision process and what are the different roles of the various stakeholders?  \n\n\nThe right use of technology: How can technology be used efficiently to strengthen and scale processes? What to look for in third party providers to ensure fit-to-purpose solutions? \nBenchmarking practices: What can we learn from peers across industries best practice examples or past mistakes? \n\nJoin this discussion on 20th November to get practical tips on how to protect your organisation and turn compliance into a competitive advantage!  \n14:00 Welcome remarks  \n14:10 Panel Discussion with Live Q&A \n14:55 Closing remarks \n15:00 Finish \n  \nSpeakers: \n \n

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

SUMMARY:The Global Arena: Can Digital Wallets Meet Instant\, International\, Real-Time Payment Expectations?
DESCRIPTION:As customer expectations evolve into non-negotiable demands for seamless\, real-time experiences\, the global payments ecosystem is under unprecedented pressure to integrate new technologies into core infrastructures swiftly\, securely and cost-effectively. \nWhile innovation has never been more critical\, it brings complexity\, compliance challenges and operational transformation\, all within a landscape shaped by geopolitical tensions and stringent regulatory regimes. The question of how we are going to pay tomorrow remains uncertain. \nDigital Wallets are theoretically an innovative solution to cost\, competition and infrastructure but is it sustainable? Is it hype or the next generation’s method of paying? \nIn this webinar\, we will explore: \n\nHow do customer expectations for instant payments differ from region to region? What are the minimum requirements for a gen Z transaction\, and how can banks stay relevant?\nWhat form will payments take in the future? How will digital wallets integrate with traditional banks to enable borderless commerce?\nWhat steps are the Digital Wallets Council taking to advance global interoperability in the next 12 months?\nWhat capabilities do digital wallets have? What is the growth potential of digital wallets?\n\nSpeakers:\n\nAni Sane\, Co-Founder & Chief Business Officer\, TerraPay\nDavid Parker\, Founder & CEO\, Polymath Consulting\nPaul Walvik-Joynt\, Global Commercialisation and Go-to market Real-Time Payments\, Mastercard\nMichael Salmony\, CEO\, Payments Innovation Consulting\nMichael Wallis Brown\, Senior Executive Strategic Growth\, FIS Global

SUMMARY:Rewiring the cross-border payments paradigm: Risk and security in correspondent banking
DESCRIPTION:Could a cross-border transaction ever be as low risk as a domestic one? While cross-border payments have typically been seen as more complex and risk-prone\, due to the involvement of multiple parties\, currencies and legal systems\, new technologies and solutions are emerging to better support the process and upset the paradigm. In this webinar\, we’ll explore how new counterparty risk software in particular is transforming cross-border payments and correspondent banking via tools including AI\, machine learning\, and real-time data analytics. We’ll discuss how these innovations could increase transparency\, reduce fraud\, and mitigate risk\, ultimately driving efficiency and trust in global payment systems.  \nJoin this webinar to explore the use cases\, challenges and opportunities including:   \n\nFilling the technology gaps in core bank systems and digital bank platforms by allowing rules to be automated across the cross-border ecosystem. \n\n\nCounterparty risk solutions that work with a new global single shared platform. Do these new solutions impact transparency and security in cross-border payments? Are we heading toward more decentralized payment systems or does this improve how we move funds today?  \n\n\nWith global regulatory requirements continuously evolving\, how can organisations evolve their own best practices and adopt new software to remain compliant across markets? \n\n\nHow has the development of AI and machine learning improved the accuracy and efficiency of risk assessments in cross-border payments? How could AI help manage legal risks\, and how do we balance the benefits of using AI with the hazards of a rapidly evolving technology?  \n\n\nWhere are the biggest innovations happening in counterparty risk management in the near future?  \n\n\nHow could the evolution of counterparty risk software impact traditional correspondent banking relationships?  \n\n  \nSpeakers

SUMMARY:AI in payments: Tackling fraud\, strengthening compliance & driving efficiency
DESCRIPTION:AI is revolutionising fraud prevention and business practices\, helping payments firms detect suspicious activity and enhance regulatory efficiency. But as AI evolves\, so do the tactics of financial criminals which is creating an ongoing arms race between fraudsters and AI-powered defences.  \nThis webinar will take a deep dive into AI-driven fraud prevention\, exploring real-world applications such as transaction monitoring\, AML compliance\, large transaction fraud detection\, and risk assessment. We’ll also examine emerging threats like deepfake fraud\, and other AI-driven attacks.  \nIndustry experts will provide clarity on large language models\, fraud analytics\, and the need for precise fraud monitoring tools.  However\, the webinar will also touch on the limitations and challenges of implementing AI\, including how to build transparency\, governance\, and ethical AI frameworks to stay ahead of evolving threats.  \nJoin us to gain actionable insights into AI’s role in financial crime prevention\, and how to use it as a force for both security and efficiency.  \n  \nSpeakers \n \n  \nAgenda \n\n14:00 Welcome remarks   \n14:05 Live Demo\n14:15 Panel Discussion with Live Q&A  \n14:55 Closing remarks \n15:00 Finish

SUMMARY:Operational resilience: CrowdStrike chaos and how to plan for disruption
DESCRIPTION:The significant disruption caused by the recent CrowdStrike failings has brought operational resilience to the forefront of the payments industry’s attention. How can firms prepare for similarly destabilising events to avoid operational breakdown? \nThe next 6 months for payment firms will be crucial as they must meet the FCA’s March 2025 deadline for operational resilience and align to new regulations involving critical third parties. Across the channel\, the DORA framework comes into play in January and will also ask impact financial institutions operating in the EU. \nAlison Donnelly\, TPA’s Regulatory Working Group Lead & Director at fscom\, and industry experts will be explaining the history of operational resilience regulations up until the present\, using FCA timeline from 2022 – 2025 March deadline. They will be breaking down how operational resilience regulations apply to all firms that host critical third parties and discuss what it means to be compliant\, delving into various scenarios to demonstrate how the regulations could apply. \nJoin the webinar to: \n\nReceive practical advice on how to tackle regulatory requirements and potential risks when relying on external service providers\, including establishing a roadmap\, ow to avoid misunderstandings of the current regulations and how that might affect operations\, and how to use resources effectively to satisfy the FCA.\n\nNote the challenges in effectively mapping out the processes\, technology\, people etc. of third parties.\nLearn how regulators might approach enforcement\nDiscover how the UK approach compares to DORA. Is there more that needs to be done outside of DORA?\n\n  \n14:00 Welcome remarks  \n14:10 Introduction to past and current regulations  \n14:30 Panel Discussion with Live Q&A  \n14:55 Closing remarks \n15:00 Finish \n  \n

SUMMARY:Bridging the gap: where next for financial inclusion in the UK?
DESCRIPTION:It’s been ten years since the last big report on Financial Inclusion in the UK. Over the last decade\, the financial services industry has evolved rapidly with new and innovative technologies helping to tackle financial exclusion. These new solutions are helping to drive inclusive financial solutions and expanding their reach and social impact. Yet the affects of the pandemic\, and continuing cost of living challenges over the past few years mean many people are still financially underserved or excluded not only from these innovations but from appropriate financial services. \nWe discuss what has changed\, but more importantly\, what gaps remain? And what should be the main priorities to tackle financial exclusion over the next five years? \nPooja Bhachu\, TPA’s Inclusion Working Group Lead & Director\, Public Policy at Mastercard\, will be discussing the group’s work on Community Finance and what the next generation of inclusive financial services could look like. \nJoin the webinar to: \n\n\n\nUnderstand how financial exclusion has changed over the past ten years; the progress we’ve made but what gaps still remain.\nExamine and understand how payment systems act as the foundation for innovation that support financial inclusion\nExplore how new payment innovations\, including in the fintech space\, could help support the changing nature of financial exclusion and the main gaps both now and in the future.\n\n\n\nAgenda \n14:00 Welcome remarks   \n14:10 Panel Discussion with Live Q&A \n14:55 Closing remarks \n15:00 Finish \n  \nSpeakers \n   \n  \n  \n  \n

SUMMARY:Disability Inclusion: The Next Frontier in Payments
DESCRIPTION:We’ve made great strides to broaden access to payments options\, including a number of niche products to address specific customer groups. But have we yet considered the accessibility of all of our products and services by implementing inclusion by design? Or are we inadvertently baking in new forms of exclusion as we make assumptions about our digitally native customers? With Consumer Duty upon us\, and the European Accessibility Act coming into force in 2025\, how do we ensure we meet expectations without impacting profitability. Does disability inclusion matter in a B2B context? And where can we go for answers?  \nJoin our panellists as we consider the payments lifecycle from different perspectives\, opening our eyes to the user journey and consider what we aim do to make our industry more inclusive for both the disabled community today\, and our future selves.  \nSpeakers  \n     \n\nModerator: Joanne Dewar\, Ambassador\, The Payments Association and Founder\, Project Nemo \nBen Agnew\, CEO\, The Payments Association\nMike Adams\, CEO\, Purple Tuesday \nKris Foster\, Co-Founder\, Open Book\nWhitney Simon\, Head of DEI Consulting\, Missive

SUMMARY:Beyond Borders: Redefining Cross-Border Payments for Customer-Centric Approach
DESCRIPTION:As the status quo for the cross-border payments infrastructure evolves\, the customer experience also needs to be factored in. From a customer perspective\, the cross-border payment process was historically slow\, expensive\, and opaque. Now advances in legislation\, data sharing\, and automation have smoothed the way\, but there is still uncertainty around risk\, coverage and cost. What are the changing end-user expectations for how payments are made and received\, in contrast to domestic payments? And where could we expect to be within the next 5\, 10 years?  \nJoin this webinar for a frank discussion and clear insights into:  \n\nHow safe and secure are funds and data in the new paradigm? What are the risk factors? \nWhat is the opportunity to grow financially inclusive options\, including for the unbanked? E.g.\, mobile money and cash pick up? \nHow big is the market opportunity for financial institutions to start offering cross-border payments and solutions? What are the potential costs? \n\nAgenda \n14:00 – Introduction\n14:05 – Scene setting from Payall (Gary Palmer)\n14:20 – Start panel & audience Q&A\n15:00 – Finish

SUMMARY:It’s time to change the status quo in cross-border payments
DESCRIPTION:Cross-border payments are perceived as inherently high risk due to reliance on manual process and lack of transparency among the players. This has created knock on effects (slow\, expensive and limited services) for senders and recipients of cross-border payments; a complicated and burdensome regulatory environment that fails significantly in meeting its goals to stop international money laundering and other nefarious acts; and\, ultimately\, a lack of competition and innovation — continuing the cycle.    \nThese challenges are not new – cross-border payments have at their core been the same for 50 years. What is needed then is a new approach\, a practical reimagining of how cross-border payments should work\, and from there the development of technology and solutions to make it happen. How do we build a coherent cross-border infrastructure that solves these very real pain points while encouraging innovation\, efficiency\, and healthy competition – not in five or 10 years\, but now?   \nIn this interactive webinar\, our panel of experts will tackle this question\, with a practical discussion including:    \n\nWhat’s the risk inherent in the cross-border payment status quo – for originating institutions\, correspondent banks and regulators/government?  \nHow do we create an environment that changes regulators’ mindset about the risk profile of cross-border payments?   \nWhat are the new and developing technologies driving automation and efficiency and how can they be actively applied to cross-border payments? How can we create layers of trust and build transparency? \n\nAgenda: \n14:00 Welcome remarks and introduction  \n14:05 Fireside chat  \n14:20 Panel Discussion with Live Q&A  \n15:00 Webinar finish  \n  \nSpeakers:

SUMMARY:The practicalities of safeguarding: Where misunderstandings come from and how to prepare for worst case scenario
DESCRIPTION:As noted in their letter earlier this year\, good safeguarding practice in payment and e-money institutions continues to be a source of concern for the FCA. The legislation is not new\, but variation in interpretation of not only the initial the requirements but what actions to take when an issue does arise is a risk to both the industry and to customers.   \nSo where are the common pitfalls that organisations fall into? What does the administrative process look like from the inside\, and what learnings can we take from times where it didn’t go as planned?  \nThis webinar will explore where the common areas of misunderstanding arise\, learnings from audit experiences and how the next iteration of the rules could be improved.   \nJoin this interactive webinar to hear from experts on:  \n\nSuccesses and failures of the current legislation – where is further clarity needed? What gaps should the new legislation cover (e.g. cross border account chains)? \nInternational legislation trends around safeguarding and how that could influence or impact in the UK. \nBest practice for meeting the current requirements. \nThe insider view on how and why things go wrong during audits and administration and good governance for preparation in case of failure \n\n  \nAgenda \n14:00 Welcome remarks and introduction  \n14:15 Panel Discussion with Live Q&A  \n15:00 Webinar finish  \n  \nSpeakers

SUMMARY:How payments can better serve those navigating the cost of living crisis
DESCRIPTION:While some progress has been made\, there is still a strong opportunity for the payments sector to collaborate and innovate on solutions that work for at-risk and underserved populations to help build their financial capabilities and resilience during the cost-of-living crisis. \nWhat could that collaboration look like in practice between different industry stakeholders\, both public and private? \nFollowing the release of a report from The Payments Associations’ Project Inclusion (hyperlink)\, Navigating the rise of cost-of-living crisis: Payments Innovation as a game-changer’\, this webinar will further explore how the payments sector can offer innovative and tailored services for long-underserved individuals and communities and what public policy must be implemented to allow this happen \nJoin this webinar to explore: \n\nThe impact of the cost-of-living crisis on those already financially underserved\, how well the current financial services ecosystem and payments innovation is able to support them. Where are the gaps that still need addressing?\nHow payments technology could be leveraged further to close the loop between public and private services – e.g\nThe potential of innovations like fintech\, open banking\, open finance\, and AI to support individuals at risk of financial exclusion.\nShifting the narrative around financial inclusion from ‘nice to have’ to meeting a real demand worth investing in.
