Chicago to Host Groundbreaking Payments and Digital Commerce Summit in 2026

A new two-day summit on payments and digital commerce is set to take place in Chicago next year. The event, organised by Kinfos Events, will bring together industry leaders to discuss the latest trends in banking, fintech, and retail payments. Two separate tracks will run side by side, each focusing on different aspects of financial innovation.

The Money Movement Ecosystem summit will launch on September 9-10, 2026. It will feature two specialised conferences under one roof: the Instant Payments & Beyond Summit and the PayTail Summit.

The Instant Payments & Beyond Summit will explore real-time payment systems and the future of financial infrastructure. Attendees will examine how faster transactions and modern technology are reshaping banking and commerce. Meanwhile, the PayTail Summit will concentrate on retail and digital commerce payments. Discussions will cover checkout improvements, merchant strategies, and new ways to enhance customer experiences at the point of sale. Over 350 senior figures from banking, payments, fintech, and retail are expected to attend. Early registration is now open, with a super early bird rate of $1,695 for a full two-day pass.

The summit will provide a platform for networking and sharing insights on the future of payments. Both tracks aim to address key challenges and opportunities in real-time transactions and retail checkout solutions. Delegates will leave with a clearer understanding of where the industry is heading next.
