The 9th edition of DIGI PAY will take place on 8 October 2026 at Inter Expo Center, Sofia. This year, DIGI PAY brings together leading experts from the financial, technology, regulatory and business sectors to explore the developments that will shape the future of digital payments and financial services.
The conference will focus on innovation, agent payments, open banking, embedded finance and the transformation of wealth management, while also addressing some of the most pressing challenges in financial crime and cybersecurity. Among the key topics we will explore:
- Agent payments and their growing role across financial services and e-commerce
- Wealth management and the transformation driven by changing customer expectations and rapid technological development
- Financial fraud in the new digital environment, including the impact of the euro adoption and the rapid expansion of AI-enabled fraud from biometric attacks to vulnerabilities within financial institutions that go beyond regulatory requirements
- Fraud and AML, including new approaches to ensuring that fraud prevention and anti-money laundering teams work together effectively to reduce financial losses and regulatory risks
