2027 International Trade and Payments Conference

The BAFT Trade and Payments Conference 2027 — officially the 2027 International Trade and Payments Conference — runs on 23–25 February 2027 in Brooklyn, New York. BAFT, the global association for transaction banking, merged its former Annual Conference on International Trade and Global Payments Conference into a single three-day event, and expects more than 300 professionals from around the world.

Under the theme "Shaping the Next Era of Trade and Payments", the programme combines plenary sessions with separate trade and payments tracks. It looks at emerging technologies, shifting regulation and new partnership models, with input from trade specialists, payments experts and policymakers. Networking events complement the sessions.

Who should attend

Correspondent and transaction banking teams, cross-border payment and FX providers, trade finance specialists, and compliance and sanctions professionals at banks and non-bank payment firms.
