By 2026, cross-border payments are expected to surge to $857 billion, creating one of the most significant opportunities financial institutions have seen in decades. Third-party remittance providers are already reshaping account holder expectations with experiences that are instant, transparent, and integrated. For financial institutions, the challenge isn't just the technology, it's about protecting relationships, sustaining loyalty, and maintaining their role at the center of account holders' financial lives.
In this session, Brightwell will explore the trends shaping international payments, from the demand for embedded transfers and frictionless account holder journeys, to evolving expectations of trust, transparency, and compliance. The discussion will also highlight how financial institutions can shift cross-border payments from a costly utility into a strategic advantage that drives primacy, deepens engagement, and unlocks their share of the $857B boom.
