The Visa Cashless Forum is an annual platform that gathers together digital payment and innovation experts from a range of financial institutions, fintech, merchants, payment service providers, and regulators to discuss new trends & challenges and outline the key directions in which the industry should be heading.
This year, for the first time, Visa will go online to unite all the CISSEE markets to deliver the biggest event in the region and discuss the new challenges & opportunities in the “new normal”.
In particular, we will focus on how lockdown restrictions have led to an e-commerce boom, how consumer behavior has changed, and what future lies ahead for increased online payments. We will also discuss how to adapt to current challenges, to utilize these new opportunities and meet consumer needs efficiently.
The Visa Cashless Forum will be made up of several interactive platforms: panel discussions, interviews, debates, colabs, case presentations and various online activations.
To be available in English, Russian, Ukrainian, and Serbian languages on this page and on Visa Facebook page on September 30.
