There were 100+ international media and industry analysts at the event to report on the many significant industry announcements, including TrueLayer’s $130 million funding raise that values the London-based startup at over $1 billion and Italian payments giant Nexi telling the Money20/20 audience that they were in talks with the European Central Bank about the design of the Digital Euro.

“Today we celebrate the successful return of Money20/20 Europe, the industry’s leading fintech event and the first large international business conference to be held at the RAI, Amsterdam this year. With over 7,000 meetings held between attendees, Money20/20 Europe has proved once again to be the place where new partnerships are forged and fintech business deals are made. We now head to Las Vegas for Money20/20 USA, knowing that we can safely and successfully run a large-scale in-person business event”, said Money20/20 President Tracey Davies.

We work to amplify those voices and open doors through our platforms and programmes, collaborating with our community to empower real change and erode systemic bias. Inclusion and difference simply makes us stronger. In support of these values, 39% of Money20/20 Europe speakers were women and 11% were speakers of colour. In addition we curated the Money20/20 Rise Up Stage, dedicated to addressing these issues directly.
