About this session
As payment networks become increasingly interconnected, the challenge is no longer whether they can connect, but how they coordinate. At the Point Zero Forum 2026 roundtable, leaders from payment networks, central banks and regulators converged on a common principle: compete at the customer experience layer, collaborate on the standards and infrastructure beneath it.
But connectivity creates new questions. As instant payment systems, card networks, wallets and emerging digital money platforms become part of a growing "network of networks", who manages shared risks, aligns incentives and coordinates the rules that keep the ecosystem open, resilient and innovative?
This roundtable will bring together global payments leaders to explore the governance, economics and architecture of the next generation of integrated payment networks, and what it will take to build a truly connected global payments landscape.

About this session
Trusted cross-border data collaboration and analytics has useful applications in payments, addressing financial crime and helping central banks and financial authorities monitor systemic risk and enhance supervision. Privacy enhancing technologies have demonstrated good potential in enabling cross-institution data collaboration while preserving privacy, confidentiality and institutional control, but have failed to scale beyond pilots. This roundtable will examine emerging privacy-preserving technology applications in the financial sector and discuss the technological, governance and policy foundations required to scale trusted data collaboration.
