What an incredible week it was at Nacha Payments 26 in sunny San Diego! As the banking industry gathered to discuss the future of payments, Identifee was thrilled to be right at the heart of the action, connecting with peers, sharing insights, and fueling the conversation—quite literally.

We were proud to sponsor the conference's premier networking hub: Coastal Coffee & Pacific Pints. Teaming up with our fantastic partners at Nacha, Monex, and the US Faster Payments Council, this space became the go-to spots for attendees to recharge, grab a cold brew or a craft beer, and engage in meaningful discussions about the rapidly evolving financial landscape. The energy in these spaces was palpable, and we loved hosting so many of you.

Beyond the networking, Identifee also led critical conversations on the main stage. Our own Kevin Miyamoto was a featured speaker, taking the stage multiple times to dive deep into some of the most pressing technological advancements shaping our industry today.

Kevin broke down how artificial intelligence is actually being used in the payments space today, moving past the typical hype to talk about practical applications. He also led a really interesting session exploring the crossover between stablecoins and AI. Finally, he rounded things out by discussing how AI is shaking up traditional treasury management, giving treasurers the tools to make faster, smarter decisions.

Honestly, the side-conversations we had after Kevin's sessions—which usually ended up continuing back over at the beer garden—were the highlight of the trip for us. A massive thank you to everyone who attended the sessions, grabbed a coffee, or just stopped by to say hello. We’re already looking forward to the next one!
