Banking & Payments Federation Ireland proudly presents the 2025 National Payments Conference taking place in The Convention Centre Dublin on Thursday 13th March from 9.00 to 13.30 followed by a networking lunch.

Featuring an exceptional line up of Irish and international experts, including leading bankers, fintech pioneers, regulators and policymakers this year’s theme, ‘Shaping the future of payments: Navigating innovation and change’, focuses on the transformative forces reshaping the payments industry. The conference will be hosted in collaboration with our sponsors Diebold Nixdorf, Square, Swift, EY, VISA and IOB, and promises lively discussions on the evolving payments landscape.

A series of panel discussions and fireside chats will address core topics including:

• An opening keynote by the Central Bank’s Deputy Governor Monetary and Financial Stability, Vasileios Madouros will provide fresh insights into critical agendas such as payment innovation, digitisation, regulation and financial crime.

• Perspectives on the Account to Account evolution: Reimagining the future of money movement

With a commitment to support the Account-to-Account (A2A) evolution clear in Ireland’s National Payments Strategy, this panel will explore the transformative potential of A2A payments in reshaping the future of money movement. Industry leaders, including banking executives, fintech innovators and regulatory experts, will share insights on how A2A payments are streamlining transactions, reducing costs and enhancing customer experiences.

• Discussing Fraud in Focus: Fast threats, smart defences

Fraud is evolving rapidly alongside innovations in payments. As instant payment systems and digital wallets transform how money moves, fraudsters are adapting with increasingly sophisticated techniques. Our panel will examine the critical elements of fraud prevention in the payments ecosystem, including the regulatory challenges posed by the draft Payments Services Regulation (PSR), the rise of real-time payment fraud, and social engineering scams.

Underpinning the discussion is the essential role of collaboration, between banks, fintechs, regulators, and consumers to build a resilient defence against fraud while fostering trust in payments.

Through thought-provoking discussions, our chat will share insights on transformative technologies reshaping payment experiences, from real-time payments to next-generation platforms. Together, we’ll uncover how the industry can reimagine the global payment ecosystem to create a future of frictionless, secure, and inclusive transactions.
