For conference organisers and sponsors
Press & accreditation
What FintechsDispatch covers, what accredited access lets us produce, and how to reach the desk. Everything an organiser or press office needs on one page.
FintechsDispatch is an independent trade publication covering payments, banking infrastructure, embedded finance, digital assets and regtech. Conference reporting is a core part of what we do: we preview the agenda, report from the floor, and publish analysis once the event closes.
This page exists so that press offices do not have to email us to find out who we are.
Requesting press accreditation for our desk? The fastest route is an email to press@fintechsdispatch.com with the event name, dates, city and the accreditation deadline. We reply to every request, including the ones we decline.

Our current position on every event we track (attended, confirmed, accreditation requested or watching) is published on the conference desk. We keep it current rather than listing only the flattering entries.
What we cover
| Beat | What that means in practice |
|---|---|
| Payments and payments infrastructure | Card economics, acquiring, domestic and cross-border schemes, ISO 20022, real-time rails |
| Embedded finance and BaaS | Sponsor-bank arrangements, programme oversight, distribution partnerships |
| Banking technology | Core migrations, ledgers, treasury systems, reconciliation |
| Digital assets in institutional use | Tokenised settlement, stablecoin treasury operations, custody controls |
| Regtech and financial crime | KYC/KYB, screening, monitoring, supervisory expectations |
| Policy and supervision | Consultations, deadlines and supervisory statements that change how firms operate |
We are a trade publication, not a consumer one. Our readers are practitioners: people who run payments operations, build financial infrastructure, or supervise those who do.
Our published conference desk coverage, including our analysis of how the circuit is structured, who funds an agenda and what press programmes get right and wrong, will tell you quickly whether our approach suits your event. We publish the critical half as readily as the positive one, and we say so up front rather than after the fact.
Our audience
FintechsDispatch launched in 2026, so we are not going to hand you a traffic number dressed up as a track record. We would rather tell you the truth and let you judge it.
What we can evidence today: reporting already published from Money20/20 USA and CES, a working archive on payments infrastructure, embedded finance, regtech and the conference circuit itself, and a public coverage calendar showing every event we track and our honest position on each one.
Who it is written for: practitioners. People who run payments operations, build financial infrastructure, sit in compliance functions, or supervise those who do. We are a trade publication, not a consumer one.
On numbers: ask, and we will send you exactly what our analytics show, unrounded, with the measurement period named. We will publish standing figures here once there is a period worth reporting. We will not publish an estimate as a measured figure, at any point, because an inflated media kit is the fastest way to lose accreditation permanently and it is not worth one pass.
What accredited access produces
When we attend an event with press access, an organiser can reasonably expect:
- A preview piece published before the event, reading the agenda for the questions it is actually asking.
- Coverage from the floor: reporting on the sessions that produce something new, published during or immediately after the event.
- A post-event analysis piece on the theme that recurred across sessions.
- Distribution through our site, RSS feed, newsletter and social channels, with the event named and linked.
What we need in order to produce it: a working press pass for the days requested, access to the press room, the speaker and session list in advance, and, where the format allows, the ability to request short interviews with speakers.
We do not require travel or accommodation to be provided. Where an organiser offers them, our editorial standards require that we disclose it in every piece arising from the event.
What we do not do
Being explicit about this tends to save everyone time:
- We do not sell editorial coverage, and accreditation does not purchase it.
- We do not agree in advance to a positive angle, a headline, or a minimum word count.
- We do not submit copy for approval before publication. We will check direct quotes for accuracy on request.
- We do not accept payment, equity or gifts from companies we cover.
- We keep commercial partnerships entirely separate from the desk. Sponsors are listed on our partner page and get no editorial influence.
If an event requires pre-approval of coverage as a condition of accreditation, we will decline the pass and cover the event from public sources instead.
Practical details for press offices
- Planning horizon: we schedule event coverage roughly eight to twelve weeks ahead. Earlier notice materially improves the chance we can attend.
- Accreditation contact: press@fintechsdispatch.com
- Editorial contact: editor@fintechsdispatch.com
- Press releases and embargoes: send to the editorial address. We honour embargoes we have agreed to in advance; we do not consider an embargo binding if we did not agree to it.
- Interview requests and speaker offers: editorial address, with the topic and the executive's remit.
- Logo, masthead and boilerplate: below, free to use on organiser press pages, agendas and partner listings.
