Payment experience: Excellence from start to finish

We’ll explore how collaboration, compliance, and cutting-edge technology are helping the industry meet rising expectations while maintaining resilience and trust. We’ll highlight practical case studies and outline how institutions are navigating regulatory complexity, implementing best practices, and building off existing rails to meet the G20 goals for cross-border payments.

Delivering interoperability in a fragmented world
As digital economies expand and value takes new forms, global interoperability has become one of the industry’s most pressing challenges and greatest opportunities. It both enables greater connectivity across markets and exposes the risks of uneven access and potential fragmentation.
From tokenised assets to cross-border trade, financial institutions are seeking new ways to interconnect platforms, ecosystems, and technologies without creating silos or sacrificing resilience. What opportunities are undervalued or overlooked in a rapidly fragmented landscape? Here, we will examine real-world models of platform interoperability and unpack the shifts needed to support a connected future.
