Digital identity, payments regulation and new forms of money are converging. For FinTechs, banks, payment service providers and other market participants, the challenge is not only to follow regulatory change, but to understand how it will affect customer journeys, business models and the wider payments ecosystem.
On Tuesday 3 November 2026, Bird & Bird’s International FinTech Roadshow comes to Amsterdam for an afternoon of practical briefings and market discussion. Together with speakers from the Dutch Central Bank (DNB) and leading market participants, we will examine the implications of AMLR and eIDAS 2.0, key cases before the CJEU on the scope of PSD2, the transition of the Digital Euro from policy initiative to market reality, and the developing European stablecoin landscape.
A concluding panel will bring these themes together and consider one central question:
What should the market be preparing for now?
Agenda:
14:30 – 15:00: Registration & Welcome
15:00 – 15:30: AMLR and eIDAS 2.0 (EU Digital Identity Wallet): What will change for KYC and the customer journey in financial services?
Johannes Wirtz, Bird & Bird
15:30 – 16:00: Key cases before the CJEU on payments regulation (Betaal Garant, Alternative Payments, Ibanfirst): Drawing the lines — where does PSD2 actually stop and where do payment services diverge?
Trystan Tether & Andries Doets, Bird & Bird
16:00 – 16:10: Coffee break
16:10 – 16:50: Digital Euro: From policy project to market reality — what impact will it have on payments, banks, FinTechs and stablecoins?
Menno Broos, Dutch Central Bank (DNB)
16:50 – 17:30: Closing Panel: What should the market be preparing for now?
Our closing panel brings together Bird & Bird lawyers, regulated market participants and DNB to consider what firms should be doing today to position themselves for the regulatory changes ahead.
17:30 – 18:30: Drinks & Networking
