The Euro Banking Association has announced 16 fintech finalists selected to present at EBAday 2026’s Fintech Zone in Copenhagen this June. The companies will pitch their payment solutions live to senior banking executives and industry judges on 16-17 June, representing what organizers describe as Europe’s most promising payment technology innovators.
The finalists were chosen from a competitive pool of applications spanning the broader fintech sector, with particular focus on payments infrastructure and banking innovation. The event provides these startups with direct access to decision-makers from major European financial institutions who could become clients or partners.
For payments processors and banking technology vendors, the EBAday showcase offers early visibility into emerging competitive threats and partnership opportunities. The finalists represent technologies that could reshape European payment rails and banking services over the next 18-24 months.
