A shared vision: How can payment providers meet the G20 goals
Tuesday 19th Sept 15:00 - 15:45 EDT
The G20 has outlined a roadmap to enhance the speed, cost, transparency, and accessibility of cross-border payments, with concrete targets to be met by 2027. Swift and our community share this vision and are working together to help make it a reality. Join us for a deep dive look at how the industry is progressing towards the G20 goals, what more needs to be done, and how we can get there together. And, as payment service levels across the industry become more and more uniform, we’ll also look at how providers can continue to innovate to stand out from the pack.

Big Issue Debate: Are financial services ready to leap into the new era of sustainable business practices?
Wednesday 20th Sept 11:30 - 12:30 EDT
Climate change, environmental impact, and social responsibility are placing significant pressure on financial services to adapt and change their traditional business models. The current approach of making incremental adjustments may no longer be sufficient, and the industry must be prepared to take bolder steps in order to thrive in a rapidly evolving world. The question remains: are financial services ready to leap into the new era of sustainable business practices or will they continue to rely on models that are rapidly becoming outdated?

FX in focus: Risk, efficiency, and liquidity
Wednesday 20th Sept 13:30-14:15 EDT
Enhancing cross-border flows and removing FX settlement risk is high on policymakers’ agendas. And, the industry is expected to come up with solutions to increase payment-versus-payment (PvP) protection, support trade and payment flows moving towards instant, while preserving FX contribution to banks' bottom lines. In this session, we’ll look at how we can strike the right balance between the need to better manage risks (especially on emerging market currencies), the efficiency gains that could be achieved through end-to-end transparency, and the benefits of netting and FX optimisation.
Marissa Adams, Managing Director, Regional Head of Global Trade and Receivables Finance, Americas HSBC
It’s not easy being green: Building standards into green finance
Wednesday 20th Sept 15:30 - 16:30 EDT
Impact investing – or investments made to generate a positive social and environmental impact alongside a financial return – is a relatively new field. And one that is currently difficult for financial institutions to measure and report on. That’s because of a lack of standardised methodologies to measure their effects across the financial industry. In this session, we’ll look at how banks, corporates, and non-governmental organisations (NGOs) can collaborate to achieve a standardised framework that allows for more impactful results.
