The future of Payments - Fintech Madrid x Cuatrecasas
The Future of Payments in Europe
Cuatrecasas and Fintech Madrid invite you to an evening discussion on how payments are changing across Europe.
Instant payments are becoming the new standard. Bizum and Wero are reshaping the European payments landscape.
The digital euro is moving closer to reality, while MiCA is opening the door for euro-denominated stablecoins to play a greater role in payments.
But what will this mean for banks, fintechs, merchants and consumers?
We’ll bring together leading voices from across the payments ecosystem to discuss where the industry is heading, what is changing, and where the biggest opportunities and challenges lie.
Topics will include:
Instant payments: how the new regulatory framework is changing the way banks and merchants operate.
European payment infrastructure: Bizum, Wero versus global card networks.
The digital euro: what its distribution could look like and what it could mean for bank deposits.
Euro stablecoins: how MiCA could change the role of stablecoins in payments and the competitive landscape.
The economics of payments: checkout, card economics, PSD3 and the future Payment Services Regulation.
The conversation will bring together:
Santiago Carbó Valverde, Professor of Economics at CUNEF Universidad, member of the Payment Systems Market Expert Group (PSMEG) of the European Commission
Fernando Cabello-Astolfi, co-founder & CEO of Devengo, serial entrepreneur and Fintech Angel Investor
Martín Azcue López, Director of Business development of Bizum
One conversation. Three perspectives. The future of payments.
Join us for an evening of insights, discussion and networking with the people building and shaping Europe's payments ecosystem.
