Business, Policy & The Future of Payments
Fintech Policy Forum is ETA’s flagship gathering at the intersection of financial innovation and public policy — a convening that brings together the policymakers shaping the rules and the industry leaders building the future of payments.
Over nine hours, the day moves through the issues actually on the Hill's desk right now: GENIUS Act implementation and digital assets, open banking, AI and agentic commerce, and the fraud and identity threats reshaping how money moves.
Be part of the conversations defining the future of payments and financial technology.
