City & Financial Global is delighted to announce its fourth annual Payments Regulation and Innovation Summit taking place on 21 January 2025 in Central London.

The payments landscape has undergone some radical changes over the last year. The most high profile of these has been the introduction of the mandatory reimbursement scheme for APP scams. However, there have been a number of other regulatory and technological developments which will have a significant impact on the payments industry. The Summit will address how automation technologies, including AI, can provide new opportunities to enhance transaction efficiency and reduce costs. However, AI can also present a threat as sophisticated scammers develop the use of deepfakes and quishing. Given the increasingly global nature of the payments landscape, it will also address how cross-border payments can be simplified for the user in different jurisdictions and payment platforms.

Keeping ahead of the curve of these developments has been a real challenge for regulators and industry participants as the payments ecosystem becomes ever more complex and interconnected. This highly topical and timely Summit will provide a unique forum for regulators, financial institutions, challenger payments providers, infrastructure providers and their advisers to explore this new and uncharted territory to ensure that you are at the cutting edge of the latest developments.
