As part of a session focused on emerging payments trends, Hanks will discuss how financial institutions can evolve their payments strategies and digital infrastructure to meet rising customer expectations and remain competitive in an increasingly dynamic market.

“Community and regional banks are being asked to move faster, innovate more, and do so without compromising stability,” said Dan Hanks, Senior Vice President, Global Product Management at i2c. “Our single global platform empowers financial institutions to modernize their banking and payments capabilities in ways that fuel growth and long-term resilience. This includes enabling self-issued cards, delivering high-performance money movement and real-time payment experiences, and responding more quickly to customer and market needs. I’m looking forward to sharing this perspective at Bank Director’s Acquire or Be Acquired Conference as we discuss how banks can keep pace with emerging payments trends.”
