Inside Europe’s Top Merchant Payments Conference – A Recap

Excited to contribute as a Bronze Sponsor to the leading conference in Europe's merchant payments ecosystem, we  — Ivo Dimitrov, Mariam Samimi, and Naum Velinov —  made the most of every moment of the event. We immersed ourselves in three fantastic days, filled with valuable fintech insights.

‍Exploring The Brave New World of Payments

‍

From real-time payments to fraud prevention and embedded finance, MPE 2025 showcased cutting-edge innovations shaping the future of payments, covering every angle of the merchant payments ecosystem.

From open banking, embedded finance, instant and cross-border payments, payment orchestration, cybersecurity & fraud prevention, tokenization, CBDC, PSD3, B2B payments, digital wallets, and SoftPOS, to cash, marketing for investors, and the role of AI in payments, the event offered a full exploration of the payments landscape.

No other conference brings the payment industry’s professionals together quite like this - all diving into the brave new world of payments. Participating in MPE at the InterContinental Hotel Berlin felt like coming home to us — surrounded by a like-minded community of innovators.
