BPFI National Payments Conference 2026

Banking & Payments Federation Ireland proudly presents the fourth National Payments Conference 2026 taking place in The Convention Centre Dublin on Thursday 5th March from 9.00 to 15.00.

This year’s conference theme The Payment Shift: Moving Money, Minds & Markets will focus on how payments are evolving at the intersection of trust, innovation and integration - driven by new technologies, regulatory change, and the demands of a digital economy.

We’ll examine the future of frictionless payments, the impact of instant and digital currencies and the ongoing battle against financial crime.

The conference will provide a platform for leaders from banking, fintech, technology, and regulatory bodies to debate how payments can power a stronger, more inclusive, and resilient Irish and European economy.

Early bird tickets for individual and group bookings are available until 25th January.
