27th NextGen Payments & RegTech Forum — Cyprus

The payments industry's Cyprus stop, eight days before the fintech hackathon that will be judged by half the people in the room. The 27th NextGen Payments & RegTech Forum runs on Thursday 19 November 2026, 09:00–18:00, at the Four Seasons Hotel, Limassol, organised by QUBE Events. Expected: 400+ attendees from 100+ companies and 50+ speakers from payments, EU compliance and banking technology. The agenda, as published.

• Cyprus as a payments and fintech hub — the recurring question of whether licensing volume has turned into actual engineering headcount
• Instant payments, A2A and open finance
• PSD3 / PSR and the EU AML package — the regulatory work that will dominate 2027 roadmaps
• DORA and NIS2 operational resilience — now a live obligation, not a planning exercise, for a lot of Cyprus-licensed entities
• AI and agentic AI in payments and RegTech
• Crypto, stablecoins and the Digital Euro
• Fraud prevention and financial crime
• Cross-border payments and treasury

Who actually goes. Banks, payment service providers, EMIs, fintechs, regulators and vendors — senior, commercial, and there to do business development. This is the 27th edition of a travelling series and Limassol is one of its regular anchors precisely because of the density of CySEC-regulated payment and brokerage firms on the coast. Cost. Paid, corporate pricing, registration via the QUBE Events site. There is no student tier advertised — this one is budgeted as business development, not education. Check the current rate before planning the day. The timing is the argument for going. It lands eight days before the BoC Fintech Hackathon 7.0 (27–29 November, IDEA Innovation Centre, €16,000 in prizes). If you are building a team for that, the mentors, judges and prospective first customers for a Cypriot fintech build are concentrated in one Limassol ballroom on 19 November. The DORA/NIS2 and PSD3 sessions in particular are the clearest available read on what a bank in this market considers a real problem right now — which is more useful input for a hackathon brief than any amount of ideation.
