Understanding Europe’s Changing Payments Landscape, Presented by payabl. and EPI

Webinar
6 Mar, 2026
13:00 BST (1 hour)

Summary

Europe’s payments ecosystem is undergoing one of its biggest shifts in decades.

Regulation, local payment preferences, and the rise of instant account-to-account payments are reshaping how Europeans pay online and in store. At the same time, new initiatives like Wero aim to create a unified European payment solution built on instant bank transfers.

For merchants operating across Europe, the challenge is clear: how do you keep up with a landscape that’s becoming more fragmented, more local, and more competitive?

In this webinar, payabl. and the European Payments Initiative (EPI) bring together industry experts to explore what’s changing in European payments, and discuss what merchants should be thinking about next.

We’ll discuss how cards, local payment methods, and emerging account-to-account solutions are reshaping the checkout experience, where Wero fits into Europe’s evolving payments ecosystem, and how merchants can prepare for the next wave of payment innovation.
