about payments summit

Blazing new rails in the global digital economy through payments

Powered by EBANX, Payments Summit brings together global leaders across payments and digital commerce to explore the markets where growth is actually happening. Through curated content, merchant cases, market intelligence, and candid conversations, each edition spotlights the trends shaping Latin America, Africa, Asia, and beyond.

More than a conference, Payments Summit is where relationships are built, deals move forward, and the industry sets its next direction.

Where the world's boldest payment minds come to think ahead

In 2026, Payments Summit lands in two destinations that reflect where EBANX is headed: Jeju Island, as we expand our footprint across Southeast and East Asia, and Costa Rica, at the heart of the Americas where EBANX has built its strongest roots. Two regions. Two growth stories. One community driving them forward.

The engagement-to-revenue gap

Why growing your audience isn't the same as growing your revenue, and how Gaming, Streaming, and Digital Platforms are closing that gap through payment performance, conversion, and checkout experience.

AI as the next payments layer

From how AI products are reaching consumers in high-growth markets to how AI itself is starting to reshape authorization, credentials, and the way transactions get approved: AI is becoming a fundamental layer of payments infrastructure.

What's next for instant payments

What comes next for ecosystems like UPI and Pix, the rise of new domestic and instant-payment infrastructures, and what it takes to build a payments system designed for the digital economy from the ground up.
