FTT Fintech Festival North America 2026

FTT Fintech Festival is Fintech Talents' North American event, held in Austin, Texas on 8–9 December 2026 and co-located with the Future Identity Festival. It brings banks, credit unions, community banks and insurers together with fintechs, technology providers and non-financial brands.

The organiser expects 100+ speakers and 450+ senior attendees across two stages. Key themes include fintech under cost-of-living pressure, higher-for-longer rates and 24/7 digital expectations; North America's fintech opportunity from established hubs to regional ecosystems; AI moving from experiments to practical use in credit, risk and personalisation; and the next wave of technologies, from blockchain-enabled settlement and stablecoins to biometrics and privacy-preserving data sharing. Payments discussions span instant, account-to-account, embedded and cross-border payments.

Who should attend

Executives from banks and credit unions, fintech founders, embedded finance and payments providers, and identity specialists who can combine both co-located programmes.
