TOMORROW'S LIVE WEBINAR – From Obligation to Opportunity: Making Payments Modernisation Work Last chance to join the next live Finextra webinar, hosted in association with @RedCompass1 , to hear our panel of experts explore how banks can modernise payments more effectively, using the resources they already have.

And why does it keep happening? • How can payment leaders keep pace with constant regulatory and technological change, without burning through budgets and teams? • Where can applied AI and next-generation tooling help accelerate modernisation? 📅 Tuesday, 27th January 2026 🕒 15:00 GMT | 16:00 CET | 10:00 EST (1 hour) ➡️ Register Now: bit.ly/4pKIQpp
