OpenPayd Sets the Pace for Embedded Finance at IFGS 2025

The historic Guildhall became the epicentre of fintech thought leadership as the Innovate Finance Global Summit (IFGS) 2025 convened global innovators, regulators, and technologists for two days of high-impact dialogue. The annual event, organised by Innovate Finance, showcased the latest advancements reshaping financial services, and this year, OpenPayd stood out as a key contributor to the discussion on building the future of financial infrastructure.
With its focus on innovation, resilience, and inclusion, IFGS 2025 tackled the core challenges and opportunities facing the financial world. From the rise of AI to the future of digital assets and evolving regulatory frameworks, the summit covered the major themes steering fintech into its next chapter. OpenPayd, a leader in embedded finance and Banking-as-a-Service (BaaS), used its platform at the event to spotlight its mission and market momentum.

OpenPayd's Expanding Influence
As one of the event's featured participants, OpenPayd leveraged its presence to engage with policymakers, partners, and clients. The company's exhibition and strategic visibility positioned it at the centre of discussions on how API-driven services are transforming the speed and accessibility of financial services worldwide.

Representing OpenPayd on the main stage was CEO Iana Dimitrova, who joined the high-profile panel titled "Moving Money Better: Innovations in Cross-Border Payments". The session drew significant attention for its deep dive into global payment inefficiencies and the transformative role of fintechs in solving legacy problems.

Iana Dimitrova Advocates for Seamless Cross-Border Infrastructure
In her remarks, Dimitrova emphasised the urgent need for a payments system that is more inclusive, agile, and interoperable. She pointed out that despite years of innovation, cross-border payments still face high friction and limited access, especially for businesses operating in underserved markets.

"Today's financial infrastructure is still deeply fragmented," she said. "Our goal is to build rails that are borderless, scalable, and designed for the modern digital economy." Dimitrova highlighted OpenPayd's own approach-using APIs to embed financial services like virtual accounts and FX into digital platforms-as a blueprint for how fintechs can simplify and accelerate global money movement​.
Her comments also addressed the growing relevance of blockchain, decentralised finance, and crypto rails, pointing to OpenPayd's flexible infrastructure as a bridge between traditional and next-generation financial ecosystems.
