The SBC Summit 2026 is set to explore cutting-edge strategies and regulatory developments with its added 'Global Payment Compliance' track.

Focus on Payment Compliance
The Global Payment Compliance track will be part of the Payment Expert Summit stage, which will also feature the Fintech track on September 29 and the Crypto & Blockchain track on October 1. Rasmus Sojmark, CEO of SBC, stated:
"Payment compliance has become one of the industry’s biggest balancing acts. Operators must combat fraud while delivering seamless payment experiences."
The track will guide delegates on maintaining compliance without compromising customer experience through innovative strategies and technologies.
