Manhattan, NYC | May 28, 2025 — The Federal Money Services Business Association (FedMSB) today announced the MSB 2.0 Global Summit, a groundbreaking industry gathering that will bring together regulators, innovators, and institutional leaders to define the next chapter of the money services business (MSB) sector.
The three-day summit will take place from September 8 to 10, 2025, in Manhattan, New York.
“The MSB 2.0 Summit is more than a conference—it is the official launchpad of a new era for non-bank financial institutions,” said Mr. Young, President of FedMSB. “We are uniting voices across the public and private sectors to co-design the standards, trust mechanisms, and digital infrastructure that will define MSB 2.0.”
With over 500 participants expected—including state and federal regulators, leading MSB licensees, compliance experts, fintech pioneers, and institutional investors—the MSB 2.0 Summit is positioned not merely as a convening, but as a working platform to establish the neural, legal, and economic architecture of the MSB 2.0 ecosystem.
