2026 priorities for payment firms

The payments sector is evolving at extraordinary speed. In 2026, the real challenge for payments firms isn’t choosing between innovation and control — it’s learning how to run both at full speed, without tripping. The pressure to launch new products, embed AI and improve customer experience is accelerating, at the same time as regulators sharpen their focus on resilience, governance and accountability.

In this video, Paul Staples, Director in Payments, Paul Olukoya, Managing Director in Payments, Jarred Erceg, Restructuring Partner, and Alison Kopra, Financial Crime Director, explore what's driving innovation across the payments landscape and provide guidance on how firms can keep up with the fast-evolving sector.
