Where the Fintech
Community Comes Together
The Amsterdam Fintech Event (AFE) is a premier platform for fintech professionals and enthusiasts, bringing together the fintech community in the heart of Amsterdam. With a unique programme spanning two days, AFE offers deep insights into the world of fintech through sessions held at the World Trade Center Amsterdam.
AFE is an initiative of the Holland Fintech Association and Cognito Amsterdam, and an annually recurring event that has become a fixed date in the agenda of anyone working in or around financial technology.

It was also a refreshing chance to step outside my usual domains and learn from a community that's shaping trust, compliance, and innovation in a completely different context.

Themes 2026
The New Financial Infrastructure : Autonomous, embedded, and built on trust
Agentic Fintech
From automation to autonomy - AI in financial services is moving beyond automating tasks towards autonomous, decision-making agents. This theme explores what agentic AI means for fintechs, banks and their customers — and how to deploy it responsibly and at scale.
Next-Gen Payments
Real-time, seamless, borderless - The next generation of payments is instant, invisible and increasingly cross-border. We look at the rails, technologies and models redefining how money moves for consumers and businesses alike.
Stablecoins, Tokenization & Digital Assets
The building blocks of the new financial system - Stablecoins, tokenised assets and digital currencies are becoming foundational infrastructure rather than fringe experiments. This theme examines how they are reshaping settlement, liquidity and the architecture of finance itself.
Embedded & Invisible Finance
When finance disappears into everything - Financial services are increasingly woven invisibly into the products and platforms people already use. We explore how embedded finance is turning finance into a native feature across retail, B2B and beyond.
Fintech in a Regulated World
Turning compliance into competitive edge - As regulation intensifies, the winners will be those who treat compliance as a design principle rather than an afterthought. This theme looks at how fintechs can build trust, navigate the regulatory landscape, and turn compliance into a genuine advantage.
