About This Show
AI-drafted summaryTRANSACT is an annual B2B trade show dedicated exclusively to the business of payments technology. Produced by the Electronic Transactions Association (ETA) and owned by Trifecta Collective, the event brings together leaders from across the payments ecosystem for three days of networking, on-floor education, keynote sessions, and an exhibit hall showcasing the industry's newest technology. The one show focused solely on the business of payments technology, TRANSACT offers three days of networking, engaging on-floor education, dynamic keynote addresses, and connection points to the largest players in payments.
The show is built for decision-makers who run payments operations, scale platforms, manage risk, and close partnerships. TRANSACT convenes ISVs, banks, PayFacs, processors, compliance leaders, and founders—all in one place. Attendees include payment facilitators, ISOs and acquirers, financial institutions, fintech founders, and networks, processors, and technology vendors.
With a laser focus on payments rather than the broader fintech field, TRANSACT positions itself as the industry's annual strategic reset, where attendees can benchmark strategies, explore partnerships, and evaluate solutions. Unlike broader fintech conferences, TRANSACT maintains laser focus on the payments ecosystem, and attendees consistently say the event's greatest value comes from high-concentration access to relevant decision-makers.
Show Highlights
TRANSACT organizes its experience around three pillars—exhibitors, education, and connections:
- Exhibit Hall: Meet the companies and products shaping the future of payments, from established leaders to emerging innovators.
- Education: From real-time rails to AI risk, attendees build their 2027 playbook with expert-led sessions and all-new Deep Dives.
- Connections: Curated meetups, industry receptions, and after-hours events built for deal-making.
The show curates tracks for distinct audiences, including Embedded-Payments Builders (ISVs & Marketplaces), Banks & Financial Institutions, ISO & PayFac Operators, Risk/Compliance & Security Leaders, Fintech Founders & Startups, and Processors & Acquirers.
Marquee sponsors span the biggest names in payments. Titanium sponsors include Mastercard and Visa, with Platinum sponsors such as American Express, Discover, Elavon, Fiserv, and Luqra. All keynote speakers and most educational programs are included with registration unless otherwise noted as a ticketed event.
Attendance
The organizer publishes several audience and exhibitor performance metrics. 81% of attendees are in a buying or decision-making role. On the exhibitor side, the average exhibitor connects with 150+ qualified leads, and 92% say the show helps accelerate their sales cycle. The audience is composed of senior decision-makers from across the payments ecosystem, including ISOs, acquirers, PayFacs, ISVs, SaaS platforms, financial institutions, networks, processors, and technology vendors.
