At the 2025 EACT Summit, Pierre Fersztand, our Global Head of Cash Management, Payments, Trade Solutions and Factoring delivered the keynote, celebrating a decade of the Journeys to Treasury initiative, charting the course for #treasury and #payments #innovation.
Reflecting on ten years since launching Journeys to Treasury with EACT - European Association of Corporate Treasurers, PwC, and SAP, Pierre highlighted a shared journey through digital transformation, a global health crisis, the payments revolution, and the rise of fintechs and AI.
The address also sounded a call to action: building Europe’s payment sovereignty is more urgent than ever.
BNP Paribas is leading the way with initiatives like WERO, AGORA, advancing Central Bank Digital Currencies with seven central banks; and ESTREEM, a top-tier card processor handling 17 billion transactions yearly in partnership with Groupe BPCE.
With our robust, resilient business model, we are uniquely positioned to drive this vision forward.
Today, treasury is transforming—driven by automation, 24/7 operations, and treasurers taking on more strategic roles. To mark the JTT milestone, we are preparing a special event - 'The Future Won't Wait' - to be held in Paris on 19 November 2025 to explore the next five years of treasury evolution in a shifting geopolitical landscape.
The change in treasury management is accelerating, and the future won’t wait. Join the future.
