From Fragmented to Future Proof: Powering the Next Wave of Cards & Payments

​Fintech is evolving fast—and the old stack isn’t cutting it. From tangled middleware to limited third-party tools, building and scaling payments and cards programs has become more complex, expensive, and risky. Innovation in fintech should not be limited to point solutions. The next generation of infrastructure must be holistic and future proof.

​This panel dives into how vertical platforms help fintechs and banks break free from fragmentation and provide a stronger foundation for the integration of emerging technology. We’ll explore how embedded open banking capabilities and AI-powered automation are facilitating robust payments, smarter compliance, and seamless customer experiences. You’ll also hear how customer centric data structures enable integrated platform to roll out AI powered solutions. The vertical consolidation of servicing, fraud, support, rewards, and marketing communications into unified workflows can optimize total cost of ownership.

​Whether you're building a credit product, embedding payments, or replacing your current stack, hear leaders from Brim Financial, Mastercard and SVB for a session that will help you understand what "future-proof" really looks like—and how to choose a partner that evolves with you, not around you.
