The 60th edition of the Banking Conference 2026 will be held at the Cartagena Convention Center in Colombia. This milestone celebrates six decades of one of the most relevant annual gatherings for Colombia’s financial sector and economy.

The agenda will bring together representatives from financial institutions, government authorities, economic experts, and public sector stakeholders. Key topics are expected to include banking modernization, economic development, regulatory evolution, digitalization of financial services, and challenges related to technological innovation.

Colombia as a strategic hub for payments and fintech in Latin America

Colombia plays a critical role in the Latin American financial ecosystem. Growth in digital services, adoption of banking transfers, and the emergence of new tech players have positioned the country as a strategic market for payments evolution.

Digitalization has fostered closer collaboration among traditional banks, fintechs, payment processors, digital platforms, and regulators. This collaboration is key to developing accessible, efficient services tailored to the evolving needs of businesses and consumers.

Local payment initiatives and instant transfer systems are helping to create a more connected financial infrastructure. Colombia is not only a market with its own potential but also a reference point for understanding payment transformation across LATAM.

OneKey Payments at the Asobancaria Banking Conference 2026

OneKey Payments will participate in the Banking Conference 2026, engaging with banks, fintechs, tech providers, and other representatives of the financial ecosystem.

This participation reflects OneKey’s regional expansion and operations in Latin American markets. The company provides technology infrastructure for managing local and cross-border payment methods across Brazil, Chile, Mexico, Colombia, Peru, and Ecuador.

Beyond institutional engagement, the conference offers a platform to examine sector-wide challenges such as interoperability, regulatory compliance, security, user experience, reconciliation, and adaptation to local payment methods.

OneKey Payments and the payments infrastructure in Latin America

Fragmentation remains a major challenge for payments in LATAM, with each country having its own regulations, banking infrastructure, and local payment methods, which adds complexity to regional operations.

OneKey Payments develops solutions for managing local and cross-border payments via adaptable infrastructure. Its platform integrates bank transfers, cards, and local methods like PIX, Webpay, SPEI, or Bre-B, depending on the country of operation.

Technically, its APIs allow merchants to create deposit requests, process payments, and check available payment methods in each territory.

Strategic opportunities at the 2026 Banking Convention

The Banking Conference provides an opportunity to identify trends, share knowledge, and establish collaborations among financial sector participants. Key topics and opportunities include:

  • Modernization of banking and payment infrastructures
  • Development of interoperable instant payment systems
  • Collaboration between banks, fintechs, and technology providers
  • Fraud prevention and transaction security
  • Adapting to local regulatory frameworks
  • Expansion of financial solutions across Latin America

OneKey Payments and the future of payments in Latin America

The future of payments in LATAM will be driven by greater adoption of instant systems, integration of local payment methods, and collaboration among banks, fintechs, platforms, and technology providers.

Events like the Asobancaria Banking Conference 2026 allow participants to analyze changes collectively and anticipate emerging needs as digital transaction volumes increase.

OneKey Payments’ participation in the 2026 edition reinforces its engagement with the regional financial ecosystem.

From August 26 to 28, Cartagena will serve as a hub to explore how technology, regulation, and collaboration can build a more connected, efficient, and scalable payments infrastructure for Latin America.
