In co-operation with the Freshfields and the Center for Financial Studies, the Institute for Law and Finance invites you to join our 7th Digital Financial Services Forum. This year's topic is "Navigating PSD3 & PSR – The Future of Payments".

This year’s edition will focus on the rapidly evolving payments landscape, driven by technological advances and the continued development of regulatory frameworks. Against the backdrop of PSD3 and PSR, the forum will bring together EU policymakers and global industry players to discuss the regulatory vision, its practical implications and key market trends, as well as how innovative technologies such as agentic AI and stablecoins are shaping the payments ecosystem.
