Some of the most useful conversations in payments never happen on stage.

That is why we are bringing the MPE community to London before MPE 2027 brings us together in Berlin.

On 27 October, the MPE Merchant Circles will bring together up to 50 carefully selected participants at Sea Containers Events on London’s South Bank.

The afternoon is designed with merchants at the centre.

Expect open conversation with payment peers facing many of the same operational decisions.

Our goal is to create a different kind of event where merchants can speak honestly about the realities they are managing now:

Fraud pressure.
Scheme costs.
Orchestration complexity.
Checkout performance.
Agentic readiness.

A limited number of selected MPE partners will join the wider programme to listen, contribute and better understand the challenges merchants are facing.

The afternoon concludes with drinks, a multi course dinner overlooking the Thames and time to build relationships before MPE 2027.

One room. Relevant peers. A different kind of MPE experience.

Merchant attendance is complimentary. Places are limited and subject to approval.

Registration for the 20th edition of MPE opens today.

From 9 to 11 March 2027, Europe’s merchant payments community will meet in Berlin to address the decisions shaping the industry.

What happens when AI agents begin to buy on behalf of customers?
Where can stablecoins create practical value for merchants?
How can payment leaders manage growing complexity across providers, markets and channels?

MPE brings together the people responsible for these decisions with peers and partners who can help move them forward.

Different questions. The same need for clarity.

To mark the 20th edition, the MPE History Hub also goes live today, bringing together every edition since 2008 and the people behind it.

Registration for MPE 2027 is now open. The 30% Early Bird ends on 23 September.

Consumers want more choice, more payment methods and seamless checkout experiences.

For merchants, delivering that simplicity can mean 𝗺𝗼𝗿𝗲 𝗽𝗿𝗼𝘃𝗶𝗱𝗲𝗿𝘀, 𝗶𝗻𝘁𝗲𝗴𝗿𝗮𝘁𝗶𝗼𝗻𝘀, 𝗱𝗮𝘁𝗮 𝗮𝗻𝗱 𝗼𝗽𝗲𝗿𝗮𝘁𝗶𝗼𝗻𝗮𝗹 𝗰𝗼𝗺𝗽𝗹𝗲𝘅𝗶𝘁𝘆.

So the goal isn’t necessarily to eliminate complexity.

It’s to make it 𝗶𝗻𝘃𝗶𝘀𝗶𝗯𝗹𝗲 𝘄𝗵𝗲𝗿𝗲 𝗶𝘁 𝘀𝗵𝗼𝘂𝗹𝗱 𝗯𝗲 — 𝗮𝗻𝗱 𝗺𝗮𝗻𝗮𝗴𝗲𝗮𝗯𝗹𝗲 𝘄𝗵𝗲𝗿𝗲 𝗶𝘁 𝗰𝗮𝗻’𝘁 𝗯𝗲 𝗿𝗲𝗺𝗼𝘃𝗲𝗱.

That’s where payment orchestration comes in.

Everyone is talking about agentic payments.

But what if the bigger opportunity is 𝗶𝗻𝘁𝗲𝗹𝗹𝗶𝗴𝗲𝗻𝗰𝗲?

Payments has no shortage of data. The real shift comes when that data gains context — and context turns into decisions and action.

As 𝗔𝗿𝘁𝗵𝘂𝗿 𝗕𝗲𝗱𝗲𝗹 puts it:
“𝘐’𝘮 𝘢𝘤𝘵𝘶𝘢𝘭𝘭𝘺 𝘮𝘰𝘳𝘦 𝘦𝘹𝘤𝘪𝘵𝘦𝘥 𝘢𝘣𝘰𝘶𝘵 𝘪𝘯𝘵𝘦𝘭𝘭𝘪𝘨𝘦𝘯𝘤𝘦 𝘵𝘩𝘢𝘯 𝘢𝘨𝘦𝘯𝘵𝘪𝘤 𝘮𝘺𝘴𝘦𝘭𝘧.”

In the latest 𝗩𝗼𝗶𝗰𝗲 𝗼𝗳 𝘁𝗵𝗲 𝗳𝗹𝗼𝗼𝗿 𝘄𝗶𝘁𝗵 𝗗𝘄𝗮𝘆𝗻𝗲 𝗚𝗲𝗳𝗳𝗲𝗿𝗶𝗲, Arthur joins Dwayne to unpack payment intelligence, agentic commerce, tokenisation and the future of European payment sovereignty.

What happens when the customer is no longer the one making the purchase?

As agentic AI moves closer to commerce, merchants may soon be engaging not only with people — but with AI agents searching, choosing and paying on their behalf.

And that could change much more than the checkout.

𝗪𝗵𝗮𝘁 𝗵𝗮𝗽𝗽𝗲𝗻𝘀 𝘁𝗼 𝗰𝘂𝘀𝘁𝗼𝗺𝗲𝗿 𝗱𝗮𝘁𝗮❓ 𝗟𝗼𝘆𝗮𝗹𝘁𝘆❓ 𝗔𝗻𝗱 𝘁𝗵𝗲 𝗿𝗲𝗹𝗮𝘁𝗶𝗼𝗻𝘀𝗵𝗶𝗽 𝗯𝗲𝘁𝘄𝗲𝗲𝗻 𝗺𝗲𝗿𝗰𝗵𝗮𝗻𝘁𝘀 𝗮𝗻𝗱 𝘁𝗵𝗲 𝗽𝗲𝗼𝗽𝗹𝗲 𝗯𝗲𝗵𝗶𝗻𝗱 𝘁𝗵𝗲 𝗔𝗜 𝗮𝗴𝗲𝗻𝘁❓

At MPE 2026, Dr. Ruth Wandhöfer joined Dwayne Gefferie at MPE Live to explore what this shift could mean for merchants — and why the opportunity around AI needs to be matched by an equally serious conversation about risk, resilience and security.

Her message? 𝗨𝗻𝗱𝗲𝗿𝘀𝘁𝗮𝗻𝗱 𝘁𝗵𝗲 𝗯𝘂𝗶𝗹𝗱𝗶𝗻𝗴 𝗯𝗹𝗼𝗰𝗸𝘀, 𝘁𝗲𝘀𝘁 𝗰𝗮𝗿𝗲𝗳𝘂𝗹𝗹𝘆 𝗮𝗻𝗱 𝗽𝗿𝗲𝗽𝗮𝗿𝗲 𝗳𝗼𝗿 𝗮 𝘃𝗲𝗿𝘆 𝗱𝗶𝗳𝗳𝗲𝗿𝗲𝗻𝘁 𝗰𝗼𝗺𝗺𝗲𝗿𝗰𝗲 𝗷𝗼𝘂𝗿𝗻𝗲𝘆.

What if your next customer never visits your website?

They ask an AI agent instead.

To search. Compare. Shortlist. Recommend.

For merchants, that changes what 𝗯𝗲𝗶𝗻𝗴 𝗱𝗶𝘀𝗰𝗼𝘃𝗲𝗿𝗮𝗯𝗹𝗲 could mean.

It may no longer be enough for products to be visible and understandable to people. 𝗔𝗜 𝗮𝗴𝗲𝗻𝘁𝘀 𝗻𝗲𝗲𝗱 𝘁𝗼 𝗯𝗲 𝗮𝗯𝗹𝗲 𝘁𝗼 𝗳𝗶𝗻𝗱, 𝘂𝗻𝗱𝗲𝗿𝘀𝘁𝗮𝗻𝗱 𝗮𝗻𝗱 𝗲𝘃𝗮𝗹𝘂𝗮𝘁𝗲 𝘁𝗵𝗲𝗺, 𝘁𝗼𝗼.

And preparing for that shift may be less about deploying the most advanced AI — and more about 𝗴𝗲𝘁𝘁𝗶𝗻𝗴 𝘁𝗵𝗲 𝗳𝘂𝗻𝗱𝗮𝗺𝗲𝗻𝘁𝗮𝗹𝘀 𝗿𝗶𝗴𝗵𝘁 𝘁𝗼𝗱𝗮𝘆.

𝗜𝗳 𝗔𝗜 𝗯𝗲𝗰𝗼𝗺𝗲𝘀 𝗮 𝗴𝗮𝘁𝗲𝘄𝗮𝘆 𝘁𝗼 𝗽𝗿𝗼𝗱𝘂𝗰𝘁 𝗱𝗶𝘀𝗰𝗼𝘃𝗲𝗿𝘆, 𝘄𝗵𝗮𝘁 𝘄𝗶𝗹𝗹 𝗺𝗮𝗸𝗲 𝗼𝗻𝗲 𝗺𝗲𝗿𝗰𝗵𝗮𝗻𝘁 𝗺𝗼𝗿𝗲 𝗱𝗶𝘀𝗰𝗼𝘃𝗲𝗿𝗮𝗯𝗹𝗲 𝘁𝗵𝗮𝗻 𝗮𝗻𝗼𝘁𝗵𝗲𝗿❓

The checkout may disappear.

But consent can’t.

That’s the real challenge of agentic commerce.

As AI agents begin to search, choose and pay on our behalf, merchants face a new question:
What happens when the payment is right — but the purchase is wrong❓

The answer isn’t to resist automation. It’s to build controlled autonomy: clear permissions, traceable consent and boundaries around what an agent can actually do.

And there’s another shift coming:
Your API may become part of your brand.

Because in agentic commerce, you’re no longer selling only to humans. You’re selling to the agents acting for them.

The winners won’t be those who automate the fastest.
They’ll be those who know where automation should stop.

For years, merchants have optimised digital commerce around a simple assumption:
Customers interact directly with brands.

But what happens when AI starts sitting between merchants and consumers?

At MPE 2026 Berlin, industry leaders explored how AI could reshape product discovery, customer journeys, payment infrastructure, and the future role of ecommerce platforms.

The discussion raised questions that many businesses are only beginning to consider.

Featuring insights from Maria Parpou (Mastercard), Christopher von den Hoff (𝗣𝗮𝘆𝗿𝗮𝗶𝗹𝘀), and Fiennes Davey (𝗞𝗶𝗻𝗴𝗳𝗶𝘀𝗵𝗲𝗿 𝗽𝗹𝗰), moderated by Geoff Barraclough (𝗕𝘂𝘀𝗶𝗻𝗲𝘀𝘀 𝗼𝗳 𝗣𝗮𝘆𝗺𝗲𝗻𝘁𝘀).
