Agentic Payments & Treasury Summit 2026

Join senior leaders from banking, payments, treasury, fintech and enterprise technology for a focused afternoon exploring the future of autonomous finance.

AI agents are rapidly evolving from productivity tools into economic participants capable of initiating transactions, managing financial workflows, optimising liquidity and making consequential decisions within defined controls. This summit will examine what that shift means for financial institutions, enterprises and technology providers—and the infrastructure, identity, governance and risk frameworks required to make agentic finance secure, trusted and accountable.

Key discussions will address:

  • How AI agents will initiate payments and autonomous financial actions

  • The future of cash, liquidity, working-capital and yield optimisation

  • Identity, intent, authority and permission layers for AI agents

  • Risk, fraud, compliance and transaction controls

  • The infrastructure required to support trusted agentic payments and treasury

  • How financial institutions and enterprises can prepare for the transition from AI assistance to autonomous action

Featured keynote

We’re delighted to welcome Namrata Jolly, Managing Director and Head of Financial Services, Asia Pacific at Microsoft, who will deliver a keynote on the future of AI in financial services.
