The purpose of Il Salone

IL SALONE DEI PAGAMENTI was launched in 2016 by ABI and ABIEventi with the aim of creating Italy’s biggest payments industry fair and a landmark event for the credit sector, institutions, businesses, the public administration, service companies, payment circuits, large-scale distribution, telcos and all interested professionals.

After eight extraordinary editions, the Salone is now a leading event at an international level, a privileged and eagerly awaited opportunity to meet up and share ground-breaking innovations, expectations, projects and future development strategies with other top stakeholders and professionals. 

It is a unique showcase in which to launch new solutions and present products and services for secure, transparent and easy payments. 

Thanks to its significant capacity to include and promote opportunities for interacting and debating, Il Salone dei Pagamenti has cemented a unique reputation. Today, more than ever, being able to get the market's major players involved and pooling information, discoveries and projects is a crucial step towards winning the innovation challenge.
