TOMORROW'S LIVE WEBINAR – From Obligation to Opportunity: Making Payments Modernisation Work Last chance to join the next live Finextra webinar, hosted in association with @RedCompass1 , to hear our panel of experts explore how banks can modernise payments more effectively, using the resources they already have. The panel will consider strategies to scale in-house capabilities while maintaining control, resilience, and delivery confidence – and analyse where applied AI and automation can genuinely accelerate progress. 💡 In this session, we'll explore: • What’s really holding banks back from successful payments modernisation? And why does it keep happening? • How can payment leaders keep pace with constant regulatory and technological change, without burning through budgets and teams? • Where can applied AI and next-generation tooling help accelerate modernisation? 📅 Tuesday, 27th January 2026 🕒 15:00 GMT | 16:00 CET | 10:00 EST (1 hour) ➡️ Register Now: bit.ly/4pKIQpp
