FinanceX is an official Media Partner to Smarter Payments Summit 2026

FinanceX Magazine is delighted to announce its media partnership with the Smarter Payments Summit, the UK's premier Head of Payments event, taking place on 10 September 2026 at the Hilton London Canary Wharf. This partnership reinforces FinanceX Magazine's commitment to connecting senior finance and payments leaders with the insight, innovation, and industry connections shaping the future of the sector.

As a proud media partner of the Smarter Payments Summit, FinanceX Magazine will help amplify the event's mission: bringing together senior industry professionals and leading solution providers for a focused day of expert-led seminars, discussion panels, and pre-arranged one-to-one buyer–supplier meetings across the payment ecosystem.

Hosted in the heart of London's financial district, the Summit is designed specifically for Heads of Payments, Finance Directors, and senior professionals responsible for driving payments strategy. Delegates are drawn from retail, hospitality, gaming, and a wide range of other sectors, and attend to meet carefully matched technology suppliers, discover emerging solutions, and bypass the noise of traditional trade shows.

The 2026 agenda spans the issues defining modern payments, including open banking, real-time payments, cross-border payments, payment orchestration, fraud prevention, and risk and compliance. Attendees will gain practical knowledge from industry experts while building valuable business relationships through targeted executive networking.

For payments technology suppliers, the Summit offers guaranteed, pre-arranged meetings with active decision-makers, providing a direct route to executives seeking new infrastructure and technology partners.

FinanceX Magazine views this collaboration as a natural and mutually beneficial alignment, uniting a trusted business publication with one of the UK's most focused payments leadership gatherings. Throughout the partnership, FinanceX Magazine will deliver coverage, analysis, and commentary that keeps its readership informed on the trends emerging from the event.
