The 2026 Payments Canada SUMMIT is Canada’s premier payments event, convening leaders, practitioners and innovators from across the payments ecosystem to examine the issues shaping the future of payments in Canada and globally.

With a history spanning more than two decades, The SUMMIT provides a forum for discussion, insight and collaboration across policy, infrastructure, technology and market development. The event brings together stakeholders from financial institutions, payment service providers, technology firms and public sector organisations to explore emerging trends, regulatory developments and practical challenges facing the payments industry.

As the annual flagship gathering organised by Payments Canada, The SUMMIT supports informed dialogue and shared understanding at a time of significant change across domestic and international payments.
