Global fintech leader i2c Inc. has announced that Dan Hanks, Senior Vice President of Global Product Management, will participate as a distinguished panelist at the “Bank Director’s Acquire or Be Acquired Conference” on 2 February 2026 in Phoenix, Arizona. The conference convenes senior executives from the banking and payments sectors to discuss strategic, technological, and operational priorities shaping the industry.
At the event, Hanks will lead a session on emerging payment trends, highlighting how financial institutions can enhance their payment strategies and digital infrastructure to meet rising customer expectations and maintain competitiveness in a rapidly evolving market.
Hanks stated,
“Community and regional banks are being asked to move quickly, innovate, and maintain stability. Our unified global platform helps modernise banking and payments capabilities, supporting growth while ensuring long-term sustainability. It enables self-issuance of cards, real-time payment experiences, and high-performance money movement. I am eager to share this perspective.”
