European payments are entering a new era. How can your institution prepare? Instant payments. Cross-border networks. TARGET Services. Verification of Payee. Emerging services.

Financial institutions must navigate growing complexity all while being expected to strengthen fraud controls, satisfy regulatory requirements, improve operational resilience, and deliver the real-time experiences that customers expect.

Yet for many institutions, payments infrastructure has evolved into a patchwork of networks, formats, integrations, and compliance processes that can be costly and difficult to manage.

What if payments connectivity simply worked? Join Bottomline and other payment experts for a fireside discussion on how financial institutions can modernise their payments infrastructure through a more integrated connectivity strategy.

 

What We’ll Discuss

During this session, we'll explore how financial institutions are:

  • Simplifying Connectivity across European and global payment networks, including Swift, EBICS, SEPA (including Instant) + VoP (TIPS) and TARGET Services.
  • Improving Efficiency and Resilience through data validation, enrichment, and streamlined payment operations.
  • Strengthening Compliance and Fraud Prevention with integrated Financial Messaging & Fraud Prevention capabilities that impact regulation such as PSD3, PSR and AMLR/AMLA.
  • Building a Future-Ready Payments Architecture that supports growth through intelligence, automation, innovation, and AI.

 

WHY ATTEND?

We'll also discuss how institutions can move beyond managing individual payment connections and instead adopt a strategic platform approach that delivers greater visibility, control, and confidence across the entire financial messaging lifecycle. 

With increasing regulatory expectations, rising fraud threats, continued ISO 20022 adoption, and the rapid growth of instant payments, the ability to connect, comply, and protect has never been more important.
