Suggested talking points
Women comprise approximately 40% of the payments workforce but hold only 25% of senior leadership roles in fintech—this summit provides a platform to address the specific talent pipeline and retention challenges that distinguish payments from broader financial services.
The regulatory environment for payments has shifted materially with open banking directives and embedded finance expansion, creating distinct policy considerations that differ from traditional banking; female speakers can articulate how women-led teams are approaching compliance and operational resilience in this evolving landscape.
Payment technology infrastructure decisions made by women in procurement, product, and risk roles directly influence the competitive positioning of acquiring banks and fintech platforms—sharing case studies on vendor selection, legacy system modernization, and fraud mitigation strategies would address PTW Summit attendees' operational priorities.
Position your submission around a specific challenge women in payments operations or payments technology strategy have solved, rather than broader fintech inclusion themes.
