From Pilot to Profit: Building Trusted, Agentic Faster Payments

When: Sunday, April 23, 1-1:50 p.m. 

Join us for a candid fireside chat exploring how financial institutions can turn faster‑payments innovation into scalable, profitable platforms. As many organizations move beyond pilots, this discussion will focus on what it takes to operationalize AI in governed, real‑time payment environments—without sacrificing trust or control. 

Speakers will examine how clear monetization goals, including revenue per transaction, adoption growth and margin protection, are enabled through explainable, well‑governed AI and strong alignment across risk, compliance and operations teams. ​

​The conversation will also address how agentic decisioning, human‑in‑the‑loop controls and auditable workflows support 24X7 faster payments while meeting regulatory and customer expectations.​​

Designed for payments leaders navigating increasingly complex ecosystems, this session will offer practical insights into balancing speed, innovation and trust in modern payment operations.​

Booth
Modernize your payments foundation and strengthen your security posture​

When: April 27, 10:15 a.m.-6:45 p.m. and April 28, 8:30 a.m.-4:00 p.m.​
Where: Booth #618

Visit Kyndryl at Booth #618 to explore how financial institutions can turn faster‑payments innovation into scalable, profitable platforms. ​

As real‑time payments expand across RTP, FedNow, ACH, ISO 20022 and emerging digital‑money rails, this conversation focuses on how to move faster without losing control. Through live demos and executive‑level discussions, we’ll show how agentic AI, human‑in‑the‑loop controls and auditable workflows help institutions operate 24X7 with confidence. ​

Learn how trust‑by‑design—enabled by governed automation, resilient operations and strong alignment across risk and compliance teams—supports revenue growth, margin protection and regulatory readiness in modern payment environments.
