Roundtable

Payments at the Speed of Change: Modernising the Nordic Banking Landscape

October 13, 2026 1:00 pm - 2:30 pm CEST
Data-driven.
People first.
Executive Engagement.

Payment modernisation in the Nordics: Market, regulatory and geopolitic requirements influences payment strategies significantly and the decision where and who to partner with becomes crucial for the next generation of payments.

Banks across the Nordics are under growing pressure to modernise payment infrastructure as instant payments accelerate, regulations such as PSD3 and the Instant Payments Regulation raise compliance expectations, and customers demand seamless, real-time experiences. Yet decades-old core banking and payment systems can make transformation complex, costly, and risky, leaving institutions vulnerable to more agile competitors and fintechs.

This executive roundtable will explore how leading banks are moving beyond incremental upgrades to build modern, flexible payment infrastructure that supports real-time transactions, regulatory compliance, cross-border innovation, and new services. The conversation will focus on how institutions can modernize while managing legacy complexity, operational risk, and the realities of transformation at scale.

Join PPI and a select group of senior payments and technology leaders to benchmark modernisation strategies and learn what peers are prioritizing now. Executives will leave with practical insights into where to modernise first, how to balance innovation with resilience and compliance, and how payments modernisation can become a foundation for customer retention, new revenue, and long-term competitive advantage.
