Theme: Shaping a connected future that counts

We are beyond the digital age. Cars are driving themselves, we carry artificial intelligence in our pockets and businesses can predict our needs. We are more connected than ever before and the way we transact is changing shape before our eyes. The future is set to connect us even more, but what connections will count in payments?

Find out at The Point 2018 where we’ll be discussing and debating this across a wide range of hot topics including global innovations in payments, immediate payments, open data and APIs, digital ID, and more.
