Inside the Fintech Experience: Micky Tesfaye on What Makes Money20/20 Europe Unmissable

In this exclusive FF News interview, we meet with Micky Tesfaye at Money20/20 Europe 2025 to reveal what makes Money20/20 more than just a fintech conference and trade show. Tesfaye explains how Money20/20 is changing the experience of financial events through the use of immersive experiences, the one-off stage designs like the plant filled Nature Stage and experiences that offer reflection and conversation such as Off the Record.

As one of the key events in the fintech industry, Money20/20 Europe focuses on community, content and intent and purposefully curates experiences from the Connections Lounge to speakers that bring a network of collaboration and inspiration to help disrupt or enable the future of money. Tesfaye also notes Money20/20 Europe is committed to creating programming with purpose, grounded in content, designed to reflect and amplify the many voices and visions that make up the global fintech ecosystem.

Now that Money20/20 is launching in Saudi Arabia this September, Tesfaye offers his insights on how attendees can make the most out of the experience, including leveraging the event app to create curated sessions and creating relationships that foster connections beyond the retrieval of business cards.

For fintech founders, banking executives and payments professionals that are passionate about the future of money and finance customer experience, Money20/20 Europe is a spectacle of innovation and inspiration and Tesfaye guarantees that you won’t just attend, but you’ll experience.
