We are excited to announce that Unifits will be participating in both events, The
Central Bank Payments Conference and The Global Payments Summit this February
in Paris.
Don’t miss our Panel and our Innovation Session!
Join Paul Thomalla, our Non Executive Director, and Jens Seidl, in our “Fireside
Chat – A Tale of Complexity” as we untangle the story behind the complex web of
payment systems and explore how we got here. We will ask questions such as „Why
so many systems?“ & “What is this costing us?“, “What’s next?“; and discuss the role of
Central Banks in this complicated and fragmented landscape – on February 19th
from 10:25-10:45.
Our Payments and AI Business Analyst, Juliane Helbich, will be presenting an
innovation session titled “How Does AI Innovate the Future of Payments? The
Answer Depends on People” on February 20th from 14:40 to 14:50.
AI is already transforming payments – but is it truly driving innovation, or are the
people implementing it shaping the real change? This session takes a practical
approach, exploring how AI enhances everyday processes beyond just large-scale
strategies. A practical use case is explained based on an ISO 20022 migration. The
future of payments isn’t just about AI – it’s about how we use it to achieve real
improvements step by step.
About the Central Bank Payments Conference
Unlike other commercially organized payment conferences, the Central Bank
Payments Conference (CBPC) focuses exclusively on payments and payment
systems from a central bank perspective. With a compelling agenda, it addresses the
most pressing challenges, opportunities, and evolving roles of central banks in
payment systems and market infrastructure.
About The Global Payments Summit
As the digital asset ecosystem matures and use cases become clearer, AI and other
emerging technologies present both opportunities and risks. At the same time, the
industry continues to navigate established transformation drivers such as ISO 20022
implementation, fraud prevention, and the lessons emerging markets offer for cross-
border payments. Additionally, many countries are now placing greater emphasis on
open banking and open finance.
The Global Payments Summit brings together thought leaders from banks, payment
providers, technology vendors, and fintechs to gain deep market insights into these
critical topics.
