Building for What's Next

Tuesday, July 14, 2026 at 2:00 ET

Just when many financial institutions are getting comfortable with instant payments, a new question is emerging: What happens when money itself becomes programmable?

The webinar will cover:

  • How instant payments are laying the groundwork for digital money.
  • Why stablecoins are gaining momentum with recent regulatory developments.
  • How leading institutions are overcoming common payments modernization roadblocks.
  • What it takes to support both real-time payments and digital assets.
  • Steps to prepare for emerging payment rails while maximizing existing investments.
