Global Instant Payments: Connecting The World Through Instant Payments

The payments landscape is being redrawn. Instant payment schemes are proliferating globally, and payment sovereignty has moved firmly to the top of the policy agenda. Yet how these schemes connect, interoperate, and withstand the pressures of scale and regulation remains largely unresolved.

In this edition of Leadership Pulse Series we will look at the forces working to connect the independent instant payment schemes into a true international and interoperable network.

What this day is about

Across a full day of presentations, case studies and panel discussions, we explore the standards that enable cross-border instant payments to function at scale, the resilience frameworks that keep critical infrastructure running under pressure, and the strategic choices that scheme operators and banks face as the ecosystem matures.

Who is in the room

This is a deliberately curated gathering with attendees coming from across the payments value chain, including scheme operators, central banks, commercial banks, fintechs and infrastructure providers. Attendance is selected and limited by design, to foster meaningful networking and connection.

Why Madrid, why now

With SEPA Instant reaching full mandatory adoption and corridors between Europe, the Gulf, Asia and Africa accelerating, the moment to take stock of where international instant payments connectivity stands — and where it is going — is now.

If you are shaping payments infrastructure or strategy, this is the room to be in.
