The Global Payments Summit 2025 | Currency Research | 18 February 2025 | TBA, Paris, France

The transformation of the payments industry is continuing, and the pace is faster than ever.  Initiatives like ISO20022, real-time payments and the rapid growth of Fin-Techs have already driven a great deal of change, but there is more to do in the key area of cross border payments where a number of barriers still exist.  A further round of transformation is coming in the form of an emerging digital asset ecosystem including CBDCs, stable coins and other new technology.

The summit gathers thought leaders from across an industry that moves more than $150 trillion per year and underpins the global economy.  Join GPS to understand how your business can get ahead of these trends, and gain a competitive advantage.
