SUMMARY:Speed\, Transparency & Compliance: Meeting Customer Expectations in Cross-Border Payments
DESCRIPTION:Today’s consumers demand seamless\, instant and transparent payment experiences\, whether they’re sending money abroad or making international purchases. Yet\, cross-border payment processes are still often very clunky and slow. With global initiatives such as the G20 roadmap encouraging financial institutions to improve their cross-border capabilities\, partnerships with digital wallet platforms are becoming a necessity. \nAs customer expectations evolve alongside rapid technological innovation\, how can digital wallets rise to meet these expectations? \nIn this timely webinar\, we’ll explore the growing need to accelerate cross-border payment flows\, increase transparency and ensure compliance with global standards through the use of digital wallets. \nJoin us to explore: \n\nWhat do customers expect from cross-border payments in today’s digital world?\nWhat role can digital wallets play to drive faster\, more efficient cross-border payment solutions?\nWhat is the impact of the G20 roadmap and AML regulations on wallet providers and partner banks?\nHow can banks and financial institutions partner with fintechs or digital wallet platforms to enhance their cross-border functionality?\n\n  \nSpeakers\n  \n    \n  \n14:00 Welcome remarks  \n14:10 Panel Discussion with Live Q&A \n14:55 Closing remarks \n15:00 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: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 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: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: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: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: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:E‑commerce Fraud in the UK: Why 3DS‑Era Controls Are No Longer Enough And What Needs to Come Next
DESCRIPTION:UK e-commerce fraud continues to rise despite the widespread adoption of Strong Customer Authentication and increasingly sophisticated 3-D Secure (3DS) controls. While issuers and schemes have invested heavily in enhanced risk scoring within the authentication flow\, fraudsters have continued to evolve. \nIn this session\, hosted by G+D Netcetera\, we will explore why reacting at the 3DS stage alone is no longer sufficient to stop fraud losses\, operational burden\, and customer friction from escalating. Drawing on real-world issuer perspectives and joined by invited speakers from Mastercard and TigerGraph\, we will discuss the limitations of siloed controls and the growing need to prevent fraud earlier and across channels\, not just within individual transactions. \nJoin us to explore: \n\nHow online fraud has changed in the UK in recent years\, from classic card-not-present fraud to large-scale card testing\, BIN attacks\, social engineering\, and coordinated cross-channel crime.\nHow today’s 3DS countermeasures\, such as issuer-centric risk models\, consortium intelligence\, and BIN-attack scores\, have significantly improved fraud detection but still struggle to identify emerging social-engineering-driven fraud patterns.\nWhat needs to change next\, enabling timely and secure data sharing across banks and moving from isolated risk decisions to collaborative\, ecosystem-wide fraud prevention.\nHow cross-channel intelligence can help shift the industry from reacting to fraud to preventing it proactively.\n\n  \n  \nSpeakers: \n

SUMMARY:Smarter Scams\, Smarter Defences: AI and the Future of Financial Crime Prevention
DESCRIPTION:Artificial intelligence is rapidly reshaping the financial crime landscape; UK Fraud cases were at an all-time high in 2025\, with over 444\,000 cases recorded\, driven partly by criminals using AI tools.  \nFrom AI-generated scams\, deepfakes and autonomous fraud attacks to advanced detection models\, network analytics and intelligence sharing\, the payments and financial services industry is entering a new era of financial crime prevention.  \nThis webinar brings together experts from across fintech\, banking\, fraud intelligence and compliance to share how AI is being weaponised by criminals\, and how firms can respond with smarter\, faster and more collaborative defences.   \nThe panel will utilise real-world case studies and practical examples to examine how organisations are using AI not just to improve efficiency\, but to actively detect\, prevent and disrupt fraud at scale.  \nThe session will also explore the current regulatory landscape\, calling for a shared liability model required to tackle financial crime that includes the role of banks\, payment providers\, telecoms\, social media platforms and regulators.  \n  \nSpeakers:
