Starting January 2025, all European banks must support receiving SEPA instant payments. By October 2025, they must support Verification of Payee and sending instant payments.

Complying with these new requirements monopolises most bank tech and product resources. Between PSD2, this Instant Payments Regulation, and the upcoming PSD3 and PSR, the regulatory pace is intense. It leaves banks limited with few resources to innovate, improve the customer experience, and build value on top of the introduced changes.

Building from the right IT architecture changes the equation.

In this webinar, hosted by Simon Taylor, our expert panel will discuss how to comply with the upcoming Instant Payments Regulation and the next ones without renouncing innovation:

*   Summary of the Instant Payments Regulation and its impacts on banks
*   How to comply on time
*   Beyond instant payments: shifting IT resources from regulatory catch-up to innovation in the SEPA area

Join us along with our outstanding panel:

*   Simon Taylor (moderator), writer at Fintech Brain Food
*   Sylvie Calsacy, Lead Payments at OnePoint
*   Puneet Khanna, VP of Solution Consulting at Tuum
*   Édouard Mandon, Co-founder and CEO at Numeral

Why become a UK payment systems indirect participant

Payment resilience and continuity have always been the foundation of the services provided by payment and electronic money institutions to their customers. From collecting payments to paying their suppliers and employees’ salaries, payments are a critical part of every business and simply cannot break.

Yet, redundancy always comes with an opportunity cost and - until recently - **many fintechs were relying on a limited number of banking partners deemed reliable**. The recent bank fallouts have, however, highlighted that PSPs need to take a more proactive stance in diversifying their banking partner footprint earlier in their journey.

In this webinar, we explore **how successful fintech companies went multi-bank**:

*   What is the bar for payment resilience, and how to measure it
*   How to decide which partner banks to work with
*   Building a multi-bank payment stack and organisation

Join us alongside payments product and business leaders who are making conscious decisions about their banking footprint to future-proof their payment offers:

*   **Dan Wong**, Senior PM Core Banking @ TrueLayer
*   **Nirav Patel**, CEO @ Andaria Financial services
*   **Dimitri Rodrigues**, Chief Product Officer @ iBanFirst


Building resilient payment operations: how fintechs are embracing multi-banking

From BNPL to consumer credit to invoice factoring, any lending company has to build robust payment flows to make loans available to borrowers and collect instalments.

Payments are core to lending companies’ operations. As they grow, they might want to integrate more of the payment value chain to optimise costs and operations.

In this webinar, payment leaders of successful lending companies will share their experience as well as the dos and don’ts of building a best-in-class lending payment organisation, including:

*   Structuring your lending payment team
*   Choosing the best lending payment stack
*   Hiring the right people


Building your lending payment organisation

**From account top-ups to bill payments,** fintech scale-up Spendesk manages billions of euros of corporate spendings for their thousands of customers each year.

To build payment operations supporting its growth, it decided to increase control by becoming a SEPA participant.

Learn how.

In this webinar, our panel will cover:

*   Why becoming a SEPA participant
