2026-2027 Season launch Cocktail

2026–2027 Season Kick-Off Cocktail

What if the future of payments in Canada started now?

To kick off its 2026–2027 season, AFP Montréal invites you to an evening of networking, conversation and innovation, with the support of Payments Canada.

On this occasion, we are pleased to welcome Dr. Walid Ghannouchi, Director, Product Enablement, Business Controls and Data at Payments Canada, who will introduce us to one of the most significant transformations ahead for Canada’s financial ecosystem:

The Real-Time Payment System: A New Payment System for Canada

The ability to send and receive payments within seconds, 24 hours a day, 7 days a week, with greater transparency and security, will open up new possibilities for businesses, financial institutions and the Canadian economy as a whole.

What changes can we expect? What new opportunities will this create for businesses? And how can finance professionals prepare today for this evolution?

Dr. Ghannouchi brings a particularly valuable perspective to this conversation. With international experience implementing real-time liquidity systems in Singapore and leading transformation programs across financial markets, treasury and digital payments in the Asia-Pacific region, he will share his insights into the challenges and opportunities specific to the Canadian market.

Above all, this evening will be AFP Montréal’s season-opening gathering: a unique opportunity to reconnect with your peers, expand your professional network, discuss the major issues shaping the future of finance, and discover what we have in store for the 2026–2027 season.

Connect. Share. Grow.
Join us as we kick off another exciting season at AFP Montréal.
