25th NextGen Payments & RegTech Forum

The 25th NextGen Payments & RegTech Forum is a premier event organized by QUBE Events, scheduled for October 15, 2026, at the Marriott Hotel in Athens, Greece. This one-day forum serves as a pivotal gathering for professionals in payments, compliance, regulatory technology, and artificial intelligence, focusing on the evolving European payments ecosystem.

Attendees will engage in comprehensive discussions on topics such as instant and real-time payments, account-to-account transactions, digital wallets, open banking, stablecoins, the Digital Euro, and embedded finance. The forum will also address the latest EU regulatory developments, including PSD3/PSR, the Instant Payments Regulation, the EU AML package, and DORA, providing clarity on supervisory expectations from bodies like the ECB, HCMC, and CySEC.

A special emphasis will be placed on the role of artificial intelligence in payments and RegTech, exploring how intelligent, goal-driven systems can enhance workflows, improve fraud detection, and support compliance teams, all while maintaining governance, explainability, and human oversight.

This forum is designed for a diverse audience, including representatives from banks, cooperative banks, payment institutions, fintech companies, merchants, RegTech providers, processors, card schemes, corporate treasuries, and regulatory bodies. Participants will gain actionable insights and opportunities to forge high-value partnerships across Greece, Southeast Europe, and the broader EU.
