The picks below reflect where banking, payments, and fintech decision-makers are actually spending their travel budget in 2027.
USA & North America
North America revolves around two main clusters: a busy March season of payments and fintech events, then the October season of Money20/20 USA. 2027 brings a notable change to the latter.
Fintech Meetup - Las Vegas, 22-24 February 2027
Fintech Meetup built its reputation on volume of meetings - its matchmaking system schedules thousands of double-opted-in conversations, which makes it one of the most efficient business-development events in the US calendar.

Europe front-loads its fintech year. The stretch from February to April in London, Berlin, and the CEE capitals is where most of the region's roadmap conversations happen before Money20/20 Europe closes the first half in June.
MoneyLIVE Summit - London, 2-3 March 2027
MoneyLIVE remains Europe's strategy-first checkpoint for retail and commercial banking. It's tight, senior, and practical - the room is built for roadmap conversations. Expect sessions on AI in banking operations, payments transformation, and open finance, with an audience of European banks, payments leaders, and regulators. If you only attend one UK banking summit in the first quarter, this is the reliable one.
Key Highlights:

- Opportunities: senior networking, main-stage debates, and partnership origination in a deliberately compact setting.
MPE (Merchant Payment Ecosystem) - Berlin, 9-11 March 2027
MPE is the merchant-payments deep dive: acquiring, POS, orchestration, and the acceptance side of the ecosystem. It draws a specialist crowd of PSPs, acquirers, and merchant-facing product teams, which makes it one of the more technical rooms on the European circuit. For anyone working on transaction data quality at the point of acceptance, the agenda tends to land closer to the real problems than the broader banking summits.
Key Highlights:
- Agenda focus: merchant payments, acquiring, payment orchestration, POS and in-store tech, fraud, and open banking at the point of acceptance.
- Speakers: 160+ speakers drawn from acquirers, PSPs, schemes, and merchant-side product teams (2027 roster builds through the winter).

Money Motion - Zagreb, 10-11 March 2027
Money Motion has become the anchor event for the Adriatic and wider CEE payments scene. It's smaller and more regional than the London giants, which is exactly the point - it's an efficient way to meet Central and Southeastern European banks and fintechs in one place.
Key Highlights:
- Agenda focus: payments, fintech, and digital banking with a Central and Southeastern European lens.
- Speakers: regional bank and fintech leaders alongside international guests.
- Who attends: ~2,000 attendees - CEE banks, fintechs, PSPs, and investors active in the region.

- Speakers: senior banking and technology figures from the region.
- Who attends: Central European banks, technology providers, and innovation teams.

The agenda spans digital payments, open banking, embedded finance, fraud prevention, and digital identity. If deals and partnerships are the goal, this is the European floor where they get done.

LEAP has gone from ambitious newcomer to one of the biggest technology events on earth in just a few editions. It's broader than fintech, including AI, cloud, and deep tech via the co-located DeepFest, but the fintech and payments presence is substantial, and the investor density is unusual.
