Payments serve as the core of our financial ecosystem, undergoing significant transformations driven by emerging technologies, evolving regulations, and shifting customer demands.

In our virtual Zühlke Banking Talk we discussed today's challenges and future opportunities in payments for banks and other financial service providers, fintechs, businesses and ultimately their customers.

In our virtual panel we discussed these and more questions:

• What upgrades do payment systems need for future demands, and how can companies incorporate digital assets?

• How can traditional banks integrate digital assets, and what infrastructure changes are necessary?

• How will lower fees drive economic activity, benefiting businesses and consumers?

• How can the balance between speed and security in transactions be maintained, especially with instant settlement systems?
