Payment Gateway Conference 2018

In its third year, this event focused on the rapidly developing European cards and alternative payment gateway market and was well attended by experts from across Europe’s diverse payments landscape. This year we paid particular attention to:

• Implementation experience from those building direct account access solutions
• The growing demand for instant credit at the point of sale
• The emergence of genuine omni-channel service offerings (rather than the theory!)
• Machine learning in fraud
• The future of the digital merchant proposition
• How the travel industry may respond to instant payments

The event was attended by 100+ payments experts from across Europe, and we received very positive feedback from the attendees. For more information see here

We had some great speakers from the following organisations: Amadeus, BS Payone, Equiniti, Featurespace, Payworks, Sentenial, Token, and Truelayer. The full agenda for the event can be found below.
