MEAFINANCE | VOLANTE | Payments Modernization: Keeping up and forging ahead in a digital world

Payment’s modernization is a critical element in the unavoidable and ongoing digital transformation of the financial world, that continues gaining momentum. In the UAE alone, non-cash payments are expected to account for 73% of transaction volume in 2023, according to a study by McKinsey. And according to ResearchandMarkets.com, MEA’s embedded payment industry is expected to grow at a rate of 26.7% CAGR from 2022-2029, with revenues reaching over $21 billion in 2029. What is clear is, digital payments are here to stay.

How can financial institutions prepare, keep pace with and capitalize on the digital necessities and trends essential to staying relevant and to growing their business?

At this roundtable debate, hosted by MEA Finance and Volante Technologies, key figures from financial institutions and industry experts will engage in a topical debate to define the leading edge of payments trends and highlight the opportunities and challenges they will face in the coming years.
