Tokenisation in Payments and the Banking Sector: Trends and Supervisory Challenges

ECPA Webinar | Tokenisation in Payments and the Banking Sector: Trends and Supervisory Challenges

The European Compliance Professionals Association (ECPA) invites compliance, legal, risk, and fintech professionals to an exclusive webinar exploring one of the most rapidly developing topics in financial services: tokenisation in payments and banking.

Tokenisation is transforming the way value is transferred, stored, and managed across financial markets. From tokenised deposits and stablecoins to blockchain-based settlement infrastructures and programmable payments, financial institutions and regulators are facing both new opportunities and significant supervisory and compliance challenges.

This webinar will provide a practical and regulatory-focused overview of the key developments, risks, and supervisory expectations shaping tokenisation in the EU financial sector.
