Europe’s fintech calendar is crowded, and the events serve very different audiences. Some are built for merchants and payment service providers negotiating acceptance deals, some for transaction bankers working on clearing and settlement, and some for founders and investors looking for the next funding round.
This guide covers the events worth planning around in 2027. We checked each organizer’s official site for 2027 dates and venues. Where 2027 dates are not yet published, we list the most recent verified edition so you can plan around the usual timing.
One note on Sibos: the organizer has confirmed Singapore for 2027 and Paris for 2028, so it does not appear on this European list for 2027.

Best Fintech And Payments Conferences In Europe In 2027

MPE is a payments conference built around the merchant side of the industry, covering acceptance, checkout, acquiring, fraud and alternative payment methods. It has grown since its first edition in 2008, and 2027 marks its 20th edition.
Go if you are a merchant payments lead, PSP, acquirer or payment orchestration vendor. The audience is focused, so conversations tend to be practical and commercial. MPE 2027 runs 9 to 11 March 2027 in Berlin.
3. EBAday — Transaction Banking Conference At La Nuvola Rome
EBAday is the annual conference run by the Euro Banking Association and Swift, focused on payments infrastructure, instant payments, ISO 20022, clearing and transaction banking. Its audience is weighted toward banks, market infrastructures and their technology partners.
It suits transaction bankers, payments operations leaders and infrastructure vendors who need a regulator and bank view of where European payments are heading. EBAday 2027 runs 15 to 16 June 2027 at the Roma Convention Center La Nuvola in Rome.

The Innovate Finance Global Summit, known as IFGS, is the flagship event of UK FinTech Week. It brings together fintech founders, investors, incumbent banks and policy makers at the Guildhall in the City of London.

Insurtech Insights Europe is a two-day conference for insurers, reinsurers, brokers, MGAs and insurtech startups. Sessions cover AI in underwriting and claims, embedded insurance, distribution and digital transformation.

Go if you lead fraud, risk or payments operations at a merchant, or sell solutions to those teams. Note that MRC events are for members, so non-members need to join first. MRC Amsterdam 2027 runs 2 to 4 November 2027 at the Novotel Amsterdam City.
9. FinovateEurope — Live Fintech Demo Conference In London
FinovateEurope is known for its short, live product demos, where fintech companies show working technology on stage rather than giving slide presentations. The demos are paired with expert talks and networking among bankers, investors and fintech vendors.

The organizer reports more than 2,000 attendees and over 80 regulators and central banks at the 2026 edition, with closed-door roundtables alongside panels.

How To Choose A Fintech And Payments Conference
Which Part Of The Payments Chain Are You In?
Merchant-facing teams will get most from MPE and MRC. Banks and infrastructure providers should look at EBAday and FinTech Connect. Broad dealmaking across the ecosystem happens at Money20/20 Europe. Match the event to the counterparties you need to meet.
Do You Need Policy Access Or Commercial Meetings?
Point Zero Forum and the Innovate Finance Global Summit offer strong access to regulators and policy makers. Money20/20 Europe, PAY360 and FinovateEurope are more commercial. If your roadmap depends on regulation, weight your calendar toward policy-heavy events.
Which Market Matters Most?
London hosts several events in 2027, which suits UK-focused teams. For continental Europe, Amsterdam, Berlin, Rome, Zurich and Paris each host a major event. Choose by where your customers and partners are based, not only by event size.
How Will You Prepare Your Meetings?
At large events, the value comes from scheduled meetings rather than walking the floor. Use the attendee app, reach out to target accounts weeks in advance, and set a clear goal for qualified conversations per day.
Conclusion
Money20/20 Europe remains the anchor of the European fintech year, but specialist events often deliver more focused value. MPE and MRC serve merchants and risk teams, EBAday serves banks and infrastructure, and PAY360, IFGS and Open Banking Expo give a strong view of the UK market.
Several organizers have not yet announced 2027 dates, so confirm details on each official site before booking travel. Choose events by audience and market fit, and book meetings early.
