Payments Leaders' Summit

One of the things I love about the Payments Leaders' Summit is the opportunity to catch up with industry friends to see what’s happening in their world… I was delighted to sit down with Keli Sandeman recently to talk priorities, pivots and how the Virgin Atlantic payments team work hard to maintain their reputation for exceptional customer service and innovative approach to air travel. No scripts, no advance questions and definitely no prep calls needed….just two payment geeks with a passion for innovation …. always a pleasure to catch up Keli ✈️ ❤️ #payments #paymentsolutions #paymentorchestration Fexco #innovation #travel See the full 15 minutes on Youtube, and hear similar conversations in April at the next Payments Leaders' Summit! https://lnkd.in/ej2C92Wz

“When persuading others to take action, FOMO can be a key driver!” At the Payments Leaders' Summit event last week, Adrian Evans chaired a panel discussion on Harnessing AI and Data Analytics for Next Generation Payments. His key takeaways from the session were: 1. AI is very much top of mind in the Payments Industry.  2. AI has been around for years but its use is tentatively accelerating.  3. The big challenge facing organisations is balancing opportunity and risk. Were you at the session? We’d love to know your thoughts.

Payments Leaders' Summit - Hilton Bankside London! Last week I had the privilege of connecting with fellow industry leaders, #innovators, and disruptors who are shaping the future of payments globally. The valuable insights and diverse perspectives shared during the round table discussions made for truly enriching conversations. One of my favourite topics of discussion was #crossborder #payments because I am an advocate for the critical role of #interoperability, particularly within #Africa. Seamless cross-border payments are essential to unlocking #EconomicGrowth, driving #FinancialInclusion, and enabling businesses and individuals to transact effortlessly across borders. As the continent moves towards greater regional integration, having access to efficient and accessible payment infrastructure will be a game-changer. Another highlight for me was participating in the interactive session on #WomenInPayments. It was an empowering discussion that highlighted the importance of fostering diversity and inclusion in the industry as we continue to innovate and drive change. The collaborative energy at the summit was incredible, and it’s clear that as an industry, we are pushing boundaries and reimagining the customer experience in #payments and #finance. A big thank you to the organisers for putting together such a well-curated event. Looking forward to continuing the conversations and driving #innovation together!
