Next to plenary introductions, delegates can create a meaningful 2 day program in order to gain best insights on developments, debate on key issues and learn best practice initiatives.
The digitally connected world has changed the way we transact. New technology and new schemes enable us to by-pass regulated models. New payments techniques require new rules as we need to protect users (businesses and consumers). This fast-changing landscape opens the door to instant payments, optimisation of processes and logistics but also presents new security risks. The 2019 program will feature industry thought leaders and experts who will address key issues and changes in this space.
We will face dynamic market changes. GDPR continues to force us to rethink responsibilities and customer centric obligations. AI and IoT have the potential to enable smarter payments and a more secure environment. In our data economy “identity” will be crucial. Not static but in layers, de-centralised and dependent on the context of use. EPS 2019 will discuss all key trends and developments as we secure a top program for payments professionals to navigate the ever-changing payments ecosystem.

Open Banking World Congress, 7-8 May 2019, London
This is the year we will see Open Banking propositions and monetisation accelerate and our research pointed us to three key areas and companies that your peers want to hear from:
- The most innovative banks and how they are commercialising their propositions: such as BBVA
- Exciting fintechs going beyond data aggregation: such as Fractal Labs
- And yes, the big techs, what will they do and when?: such as Alibaba
For 2019, conversations have come back to the fundamental point of Open Banking – putting the consumer at the heart of financial propositions and services. Monetisation and commercialisation strategies will only succeed if offerings resonate with consumers. New entrants – many of whom have significant reach, loyalty and established expertise in services that delight – will be a serious challenge to the traditional banking community…
And so, we’re turning to each other and asking where is the true value in Open Banking? Who is about to emerge with something that will knock our socks off? How is commercialisation beginning to occur and what propositions show promise?
