Get Started

Future Banking Summit has become the largest event dedicated to financial technology in Romania, with the 2025 edition bringing together over 500 participants and more than 50 speakers from both Romania and other European markets.

In 2026, we move forward with a theme that speaks directly to the reality of every player in the industry: limits. Not the limits that block us, but those that force us to innovate, rethink processes, and turn challenges into real opportunities, while still complying with the regulations governing the industry.

At a time when regulations are tightening, technology is advancing faster than it can be adopted, and economic and geopolitical volatility is testing the resilience of the financial system, banking is becoming a continuous exercise in pushing beyond limits.

Themes of Future Banking Summit 2026:

Which limits in banking can be surpassed, and which are definitively imposed by regulation? Perspectives from authorities, lawyers, banks, and fintechs.
How extensively can AI agents be used in banks, and where does automation stop?
The position of fintechs in 2026: collaborators, competitors, or technology integrators? How open is the industry to new technologies, and what do banks expect from partnerships?
What do payments look like in 2026? Trends in instant payments, A2A, embedded finance, and digital identity.
How does the geopolitical context influence the European banking system. Investments in security and defense.
What limits do SMEs encounter when accessing financing, and how can technology and new risk models remove them?
Neobank vs. Banks: who is pushing the limits, and where?
SMEs and access to financing: constraints vs. solutions
Payment trends: instant, cross-border, open finance
Geopolitics and banking: resilience and security


Future Banking Summit is where industry leaders don’t come to confirm what they already know, but to challenge what they believe. LIMITLESS BANKING is about courage in an industry built on rules.
