At Money20/20 Europe 2026, Sarah Reineck, Director of Marketing & Communications at Aevi, looks at the gap between how quickly retailers want to move and the payment infrastructure sitting underneath them.
She explains why seemingly straightforward commercial decisions, such as entering a new market, changing an acquirer or improving routing, can turn into major technical projects when payment hardware, processing and certification are tightly connected.
Sarah also discusses the move towards more open, orchestrated payment environments, giving merchants greater freedom to choose providers market by market and adapt their payment setup without rebuilding the stack each time.
