    Europe (with global reach, attracting attendees from 105+ countries)

    Why it matters

    Money20/20 Europe 2026 captured a pivotal moment: the fintech industry moved decisively from hype to execution. The event's tenth anniversary edition showed that agentic AI, stablecoins, and European payment sovereignty are no longer future concepts but live production realities being deployed by major institutions. The show is where regulators, banks, fintechs, and infrastructure providers converge to set the year's payments narrative, forge strategic partnerships, and navigate the regulatory complexity of PSD3, MiCA, DORA, and the EU AI Act. With over 7,500 attendees, 2,300 companies, and 105+ countries represented, Money20/20 Europe is the essential forum for understanding how Europe's financial infrastructure is being rewired in real time and where the commercial opportunities lie. As Money20/20 president Tracey Davies noted, the appetite for senior-level exchange remains strong even as the market grows more selective about where it directs attention.

    Industry trends

    Key trends shaping this market and its wider industry.

    01

    Stablecoins Become Mainstream Settlement Infrastructure

    Stablecoins moved from speculative retail instruments to practical settlement infrastructure for B2B payments, cross-border flows, and treasury optimisation. Multinational platforms highlighted on-chain digital currencies restructuring capital-inefficient workflows and centralising liquidity pools. Key announcements included MoneyGram's launch of MGUSD on Stellar and Checkout.com partnering with Coinbase to enable merchants to accept stablecoins. Stablecoins narrowly overtook agentic AI as the defining theme of the event.

    Source
    02

    Agentic AI Moves from Concept to Production

    AI shifted from 'assistive' to 'agentic' – systems that don't just support decisions but increasingly participate in them. Mastercard, Worldline, and ING demonstrated Europe's first live end-to-end agentic payment transaction in a production environment. Agentic commerce is beginning real-world testing and deployment, with significant implications for payments, banking, and commerce. Gartner expects agents to intermediate more than $15 trillion in B2B purchases by 2028.

    Source
    03

    European Payment Sovereignty Gains Momentum

    A recurring theme was the drive to reduce reliance on international payment networks and strengthen regional payment infrastructure. The European Payments Initiative (EPI) showcased Wero, its unified digital wallet. The UK Payments Initiative (UKPI) was announced with broad participation across UK banking and fintech. These initiatives reflect a clear strategic direction: European and UK stakeholders are seeking greater control over payment infrastructure.

    Source
    04

    Shift from Hype to Infrastructure Reality

    The 2026 event showed a clear maturation: less hype, more focus on whether existing infrastructure can support next-generation payments. Orchestration, modularity, and flexibility are no longer nice-to-haves but baseline requirements. The industry is shifting from adding more technology to optimising what already exists to deliver better real-world outcomes.

    Source
    05

    Fraud, Compliance, and Trust Become Product Layers

    Fraud prevention and compliance are being embedded directly into payment rails rather than treated as back-office functions. The focus is shifting toward network-wide visibility across multiple institutions with AI-powered behavioural intelligence. Trust, governance, and explainability are now limiting factors, not optional layers.

    Visa & entry documents

    Check the latest visa requirements and entry guidelines before travelling.

    Schengen Short-Stay Visa (Type C) – BusinessNon-EU/EEA/Swiss nationals who are not exempt from the Schengen visa requirement and are travelling to the Netherlands for business purposes such as attending conferences, meetings, or trade fairs.$99.00Usually 15 calendar days; can take up to 45 calendar days in some cases.

    Nationals of EU/EEA member states and Switzerland do not require a visa for short stays. Additionally, citizens of over 80 countries, including the United States, United Kingdom, Canada, Australia, Japan, and South Korea, can enter the Netherlands visa-free for short business trips of up to 90 days within any 180-day period. Visa-exempt travelers from countries not in the EU/EEA will be required to obtain an ETIAS travel authorization when the system is introduced (expected to be operational in the near future).

    The Netherlands accepts ATA Carnets for the temporary import of goods such as exhibition materials, samples, and professional equipment. The ATA Carnet permits duty-free and tax-free temporary import for up to one year. It is a physical document applied for in the country of origin (e.g., via the Chamber of Commerce in the Netherlands), and must be validated by Dutch Customs before crossing the border. For goods originating outside the EU, exhibitors may also use the 'temporary import without ATA carnet' procedure.

    Cultural notes

    Useful information to help you have a smooth and respectful visit.

    Dutch Directness

    Dutch business culture values direct, clear, and concise communication. Avoid sugarcoating — transparency builds trust. Meetings are pragmatic and consensus-driven

    Greetings & Formality

    A firm handshake with eye contact is the standard business greeting. Formal titles (Mr, Dr, Professor) are appreciated. Business cards should be exchanged at the start of a meeting

    Punctuality

    Punctuality is strictly expected. Arrive on time for meetings and sessions

    Dress Code

    Dutch professional culture is less hierarchical; smart business attire or business casual is common. Given Amsterdam's bike-friendly culture, practical footwear is recommended.

    Networking Style

    Dutch professionals prefer substantive conversations over small talk. Aim for 3–4 meaningful discussions rather than many quick exchanges. Have a clear one-sentence answer to 'what do you do?' that invites follow-up

    Tipping & Dining

    Tipping is not obligatory but rounding up the bill (5–10% for good service) is appreciated. To get a server's attention, make eye contact rather than calling out

    Practical guides

    Visitor & Exhibitor Essentials

    Everything needed to arrive prepared, navigate the event, and make the visit productive.

    Flights

    Destination: Amsterdam Airport Schiphol (AMS)

    Book flights early as conference dates create high demand and limited vehicle availability at Schiphol. Direct train from Schiphol to Amsterdam RAI station takes 9–12 minutes and runs every 20 minutes

    Visa

    Whether you need a visa depends on your nationality. Non-EU/EEA/Swiss nationals who are not visa-exempt must apply for a Schengen Short-Stay Business Visa (Type C) before travelling. Visa-exempt nationals can enter for up to 90 days for business purposes without a visa but must still meet other entry requirements.

    Processing: 15 calendar days (standard); up to 45 calendar days in complex cases

    A valid passport (no more than 10 years old, with at least 2 blank pages, valid for at least 3 months after departure from the Schengen area) is required. Business visitors must provide an invitation letter from the host company or event, proof of employment or business ownership, proof of sufficient funds, travel health insurance (minimum €30,000)-, and a completed Schengen visa application form.
