European Financial Integrity Summit 2025
GCVA and BVCNL are delighted to present a one-day summit focused on financial integrity in the gift card sector. With recent risk and threats in the fraud and security arena, it is time for the sector to work together to mitigate risk. Following on from the release of our joint best practice guidelines from GCVA, BVCNL and PVD, we will be bringing together sector experts, law enforcement, academics, and legal and policy-minds to discuss and share how we can best collaborate for the benefit of all the stakeholders across the gift card sector. Ticket booking will open early February so hold the date!
