The next frontier of cross-border digital finance: Building trusted, inclusive and interoperable payment ecosystems

Cross-border digital payments are now a frontline issue for regulators, financial institutions, and fintechs alike. With trade flows expanding, SMEs digitalising and consumers demanding seamless access to global commerce, the stakes have never been higher. Yet persistent barriers from fragmented infrastructure and regulatory divergence to fraud and trust gaps still slow adoption and create uneven access, especially for underserved communities and SMEs. ​

This roundtable convenes regulators, financial institutions and leading fintechs to map out the next evolution of cross-border finance. This discussion will highlight interoperability, responsible innovation and financial inclusion as the core drivers shaping tomorrow's digital corridors. ​
