This year in Amsterdam, the energy was unmistakable: packed schedules, non-stop meetings, and serious conversations about the next stage of payment growth.
For OpenWay, one signal stood out clearly: European fintech is becoming more global.
We met with leaders and partners from Europe, Africa, Latin America and the Caribbean, and the US — showing how Europe’s payments ecosystem is increasingly connected to wider transformation agendas and cross-regional cooperation.
We were also pleased to join a panel on Italy’s digital payments opportunity, sharing our view on how Italy can strengthen its role as a fintech hub and gateway into Europe.
This reflects what we see every day: payment modernization is no longer a local challenge. Banks, processors, fintechs, and national infrastructures need platforms that can scale across markets, support new business models, and keep operations resilient.
Money20/20 Europe was a strong example of how we work at OpenWay: strategy and marketing, business development, pre-sales, and product development working together, backed by our EU and global team. Only a few people may be visible — but every conversation, proposal, and complex delivery is powered by a much larger team.
Another highlight was seeing our clients so active across Money20/20 Europe — at our booth, at their own booths, and on stage, sharing insights, announcing new deals, and discussing inspiring future plans together.
Thank you to everyone who met with us. Stay tuned for more insights from our Money20/20 Europe panel on Italy’s role in the future of European fintech!
