After the Ballots: 2026 Federal and State Election Outcomes and What Comes Next


Presented by Amanda Lytle-Kingsley from Catalyst


The 2026 midterm elections have redrawn the political map at both the federal and state levels. This session walks through the key outcomes, control of the U.S. House and Senate, governorships, and state legislative chambers and what those results mean for the payments industry moving forward.

 

Payment Rails & Fraud Tales


Presented by:

Angelica Larrañaga from ePayResources

Krystle Bucci from ePayResources

Kayla Mancipe from Wespay



Fraud doesn’t stop to consider how a payment moves—and neither should your fraud strategy. From checks and ACH to instant payments, each payment rail presents different vulnerabilities, while the people, processes, and organizations involved in moving money can create both opportunities to prevent fraud and gaps that fraudsters exploit.


In this panel discussion, payments professionals will explore today’s fraud landscape across payment rails and tackle some of the tougher questions facing the payments industry: Are fraud resources keeping pace with changing threats? Where do gaps in fraud detection and communication emerge when multiple parties are involved in a payment? How do we balance stronger controls with speed and convenience? And what changes as payments become increasingly real-time? Panelists will share perspectives on emerging threats, practical controls, human factors, and collaboration across the payments ecosystem. Attendees will leave with ideas they can use to evaluate their own fraud strategies and identify opportunities to strengthen their defenses.

The TPPPA Compliance Management System Control Framework is designed to support Banks and TPPP’s in structuring and maintaining complementary program controls that align the BANKS compliance responsibilities, including Risk-Based Program Due Diligence, Ongoing Monitoring and Periodic Review.
