Today, checkout isn’t just a transaction — it’s a powerful lever for global growth. However, as payment innovation accelerates globally, merchants must navigate a landscape that is anything but uniform. From the rise of account-to-account (A2A) payments in Europe and Asia, to the dominance of mobile wallets in LATAM and APAC, and the growing demand for localized APMs, the global ecosystem is more fragmented — and fuller of opportunity — than ever.

Layered on top of this complexity are shifting geopolitical dynamics and evolving compliance frameworks that can reshape how payments move across borders in a matter of hours. This session offers a region-by-region perspective on the direction of payment rails and consumer preferences, and how leading merchants are designing payment strategies that remain flexible, scalable, and resilient in the face of regulatory changes.
