BusinessDay to Host Future of Payments and Fraud Conference 2022

To bring the Future of Payments and Fraud Conference to life, BusinessDay will provide experts and thought leaders in the National Payments System, as well as views from global industry leaders at the Four Points Hotel by Sheraton, May 12, 2022.

According to a report by KPMG, the payments landscape has gone through significant transformation in recent years. Technological advancements have led to step changes in innovation, with payments becoming faster, on both a local and global scale, cheaper, easier, and more convenient.

This has not gone unnoticed by the regulators who are now looking into how regulation needs to adapt to meet these changes. As business and customer needs evolve, it is clear that the payments ecosystem must be agile and open to innovation without sacrificing the financial stability that the infrastructure is built on.

With huge interest from South Africa, Kenya, Egypt, USA, UK, Canada, Estonia, and so many other countries, the event will highlight discussions around What is the next big thing in Payments?
