Georgia’s payments infrastructure is evolving rapidly, from domestic digital rails to cross-border connectivity across the corridor. As Georgian banks scale, the National Bank of Georgia builds the regulatory foundation, and regional financial centres like AIFC deepen their ties with Tbilisi, the question shifts from whether Georgia can connect to how fast and how far.
This session brings together voices from across the payments stack: the regulator, the neobank, the regional financial centre and the global payments operator, to examine what it takes to build payment infrastructure that works across borders, and what Georgia’s moment in the corridor means for the region’s financial connectivity.

Hosted by NBG, this roundtable will bring together regulators, international organisations, financial institutions, fintech and regtech companies to explore how Open Finance and AI can reinforce each other and contribute to the next stage of Georgia’s digital financial ecosystem.
The discussion will explore how a trusted layer can be created for the future development of Open Finance and how connectivity with AI can provide an additional intelligence layer to turn financial data into better decisions, more personalized services and new business models
