Roundtable Discussions

Our Datos-moderated roundtables offer an intimate setting where commercial banking and payments leaders can speak candidly with peers facing the same challenges. Each session surfaces real-world experiences, honest benchmarks, and practical strategies. Attendees leave with honest perspectives, new connections, and actionable ideas they can put to work immediately.

Payments & Real-Time

  • Pressure Testing Real-Time Payments: Which commercial use cases are gaining traction versus stalling despite apparent fit, and practical strategies to drive adoption including overcoming the “ACH is good enough” mindset and addressing 24/7/365 operational readiness.
  • Financial Messaging: Building a Future-Ready Payments Ecosystem: The evolution from legacy connectivity models to cloud-native, API-first platforms that support instant payments and real-time cross-border transactions.
Corporate Banking & ERP
  • From ERP Banking to Programmable Workflows: How connecting enterprise and banking applications creates a unified “enterprise cockpit” for seamless financial operations through deep, bidirectional data exchange.
  • The Corporate View of Embedded Finance: What corporations truly need from embedded finance, distinguishing between mission-critical capabilities and “nice-to-have” features, with Datos Insights’ latest findings on corporate users’ expectations.
Onboarding & Operations
  • Commercial Onboarding and Lifecycle Management: Emerging best practices that extend beyond digital account opening to encompass the full client journey, and how banks can close the execution gap between strategic ambitions and operational reality.
  • Fraud & Positive Pay: Moving From Add-On to Required: Shifting Positive Pay from an optional, fee-based service to a core component of commercial deposit accounts as check and ACH fraud continues to grow.
