AccessPay hosted a virtual event titled The Changing UK Payment Landscape: Opportunities and Considerations for Corporates in collaboration with Zanders.
The event, which took place on November 30th 2021, provided a succinct overview on the current state of UK payments.
What’s the Event About and Who’s It For?
The UK payments landscape is changing.
With modernisation spanning from the connectivity options available to corporates right through to the infrastructure they’re hosted on, it can be hard to keep up. This event is here to help you out on demand, spanning a number of emerging and established topics in the UK payments scene.
Discussion first centred around Open Banking and the opportunities it holds for corporates – especially in relation to Cash Management services.
Secondly, the Host2Host versus APIs debate was considered, aiming to help you find the right connectivity type for your business and key considerations for adoption.
The Changing UK Payment Landscape then focused on the all-important financial messaging standard ISO 20022, before wrapping things up with a couple of AccessPay’s key case studies.
If you’re an EU-based Finance or Treasury expert, this event is for you.
The next generation of corporate banking is here – if you need to futureproof your organisation’s ongoing workload and operations, you can watch the event on demand above or on YouTube at any time.
