Join us at the Münchenbryggeriet in Stockholm, Sweden on April 29, 2025, to explore the future of payments at NextGen Nordics. This event will bring together key decision-makers, stakeholders, and experts from the payments sector to discuss digital resilience, advanced technologies, regulatory frameworks, and actionable strategies for the financial ecosystem of tomorrow.
Agenda Highlights
NextGen Nordics 2025 will address the most significant challenges and opportunities shaping the future of payments, including:
- Enhancing operational resilience in light of the Digital Operational Resilience Act (DORA)
- Preparing for the EU’s Instant Payment Regulation (IPR) and Verification of Payee (VoP)
- Exploring the implications of Central Bank Digital Currency (CBDC)
- Assessing the potential disruption to traditional banking systems
The agenda will feature enlightening panel sessions and thought-provoking discussions on how financial institutions are tackling rising fraud risks in real-time transactions, the potential of Generative AI (GenAI), the role of fintechs in the Nordic payments landscape, and the impact of the open finance movement.
Importance of These Topics
DORA is a cornerstone of the NextGen Nordics 2025 agenda, aiming to confront the rising cybersecurity threats and operational disruptions facing financial institutions. This regulation establishes rigorous standards to help organizations maintain secure and resilient systems. Attendees will gain insights into how companies are adapting three months after the January 2025 compliance deadline.
As digitalisation rapidly transforms financial services in the Nordics and across Europe, DORA plays a critical role in ensuring that this evolution is built on resilient foundations. Furthermore, the EU’s Instant Payment Regulation guarantees that payments are both real-time and uphold the highest security standards, creating a seamless user experience.
The integration of CBDCs with instant payment systems promises to enhance both domestic and cross-border transactions, making them faster, safer, and more efficient. CBDCs can facilitate financial inclusion for the unbanked and underbanked populations, aligning with the open finance revolution to democratize access to financial services.
As payment speed increases, so do challenges around verification and fraud prevention, making VoP essential to ensure payments are directed to the intended recipients. This focus on interoperability will be central to discussions at NextGen Nordics. As transaction speeds escalate, the threat of fraud intensifies, underscoring the need for sophisticated fraud prevention systems and utilizing GenAI for real-time analysis of payment data.
