Money Movement 2026 is a two-day forum for senior executives from banking, fintech, payments, retail, and digital commerce. It takes place in Chicago on September 9–10, 2026.
Money Movement brings together:
- 350+ Senior Attendees
-
150+ Leading Companies
-
2 in 3 Decision Makers
-
85+ Speakers
The event covers real-time payment rails, AI, embedded finance, fraud intelligence, and unified commerce. Sessions include case studies and presentations from banks, fintechs, retailers, platforms, and technology providers. Topics span payments infrastructure, treasury operations, and consumer experience.
Day 1 starts with a big-picture debate on where U.S. money movement actually stands today: real-time payment rails, multi-rail complexity, liquidity, and whether institutions are truly ready for an always-on environment. The afternoon gets more specific: fraud at machine speed, the challenge of moving from batch to 24/7 infrastructure, and what happens to treasury and liquidity when payments never stop. Speakers confirmed so far include executives from JP Morgan, Federal Reserve Financial Services, Truist, Bank of America, TD Securities, Citi, and BMO Capital Markets.
Track 2 runs alongside and takes a different angle: financial crime controls in real-time environments, the rise of embedded finance, machine-to-machine payments, and the growing case for account-to-account payments as a mainstream rail. Speakers confirmed include executives from Citi, Bank of America, USAA, CIBC, U.S. Bank, PNC, and BMO.
Day 2 focuses on even more complex issues: cross-border payments, stablecoins and tokenized money, the future of ACH, and lessons from the U.S. that may shape Canada’s incoming real-time rail (RTR). Speakers confirmed include executives from UNFCU, Northern Trust, Standard Chartered, Cross River, Capital One, Vanguard, RBC, and the Canadian Bankers Association.
On its second day, Money Movement 2026 will also host PayTail Summit. Both days include pre-arranged one-to-one meetings and networking breaks.
PayTail Summit

Discover real-world strategies for authorization uplift, customer loyalty, and secure, seamless omnichannel journeys.
