About this session
The global payments system is being rebuilt simultaneously across every layer: real-time rails, ISO 20022, CBDCs, stablecoins, and B2B clearing infrastructure are all live at once, each pulling in different directions. Leaders representing the full stack - from consumer networks and B2B rails to global messaging, public digital money, and the next frontier of SME payment access debate the architectural choices that will define how $320 trillion moves each year.
