Today, Teresa Mesquita, SIBS' Chief Operations Officer, participated in TRUSTECH Event 2024 in Paris - the global annual meeting for professionals in the field of technology, namely innovative payments and identification solutions. 💳 During the roundtable discussion titled "Europe of Payments: What are the Main Strategies in the Field of Sovereignty?", which Teresa Mesquita participated in, the critical role of payment sovereignty was emphasised as a strategy to bolster European independence. This discussion has gained even greater relevance against the backdrop of the current geopolitical instability and economic challenges impacting both retailers and consumers. This session, moderated by Andréa Toucinho, brought together esteemed experts, including: Alex Stervinou, Director of Study and Payment Surveillance of Banque de France; Martina Weimert, EPI's CEO; Carlo Bovero BNP Paribas's Director of Innovative Card and Payment Solutions and Pierre Chassigneux b.connect's CEO. Together, initiatives which are driving payment sovereignty in Europe were explored, with special emphasis to the interoperability efforts in Southern Europe on the EuroPA | European Payments Alliance project led by SIBS (with #MBWAY), BANCOMAT S.p.A. (with #Bancomat Pay) and Bizum A special thanks to the TRUSTECH Event for the invitation to SIBS to contribute in this dialogue! 🙌 #SIBSistrust #SIBSisinnovation #SIBSisexcellence #SIBSisintegrity

Public-private dialogues are critical to some of the biggest policy and infrastructure developments in cross-border payments, not least the G20 Roadmap for Enhancing Cross-Border Payments. We hear from key figures at Mastercard to understand how the company is thinking about future opportunities in the space. The future of cross-border payments is a topic that is front-of-mind for many players in the industry. While fintech challengers have helped shape the past few years of development, future change is in part being driven by multinational and supranational initiatives such as the Financial Stability Board’s (FSB) G20 Roadmap for Enhancing Cross-Border Payments.

Fantastic to get this recognition for our #SettlementFabric technology. The technology promises to change the #crossborder landscape, settling wholesale FIAT #PvP with central bank backed funds, removing #settlementrisk and allowing the immediate delivery of #crossborderpayments 24x7x365. #SettlementFabric does this by making assets interoperable, and the participants that connect to settlement fabric. So don't think the tech is just for FIAT, we have run successful PoC settling FIAT vs CBDC and other digital assets..... I should also mention, no need for a single universal ledger either, so data remains sovereign in your local jurisdiction, removing regulatory challeneges and provision challenges... #settlementfabric #banking #infrastructure #thefutureisnow
