This coming June 19, Israel’s fintech scene takes center stage once again at Money TLV 2025, one of the region’s most influential financial technology conferences. Global attention turns to the innovators reshaping how money moves. Among the standout participants is BridgerPay, a payments orchestration platform that has become synonymous with intelligent, seamless transaction infrastructure. The company’s CEO and co-founder, Ran Cohen, will join a high-profile panel exploring one of fintech’s most pressing frontiers: cross-border payments.
Held annually in Tel Aviv, Money TLV is a conference of over 2,500 fintech professionals, founders, regulators, and tech executives from across the globe. The event functions as a pulse check on regional innovation and a gateway for international players looking to plug into Israel’s fast-evolving ecosystem.
This year’s edition is expected to deepen conversations around digital banking, payments, regtech, blockchain, and emerging technologies.
The Global Crossroads of Fintech
Israel’s fintech ecosystem, often dubbed the “Startup Nation,” continues to perform better than expected in producing disruptive technologies that drive change across global financial services. With legacy banks and startups increasingly collaborating to build the financial systems of tomorrow, the country has cemented its status as a go-to destination for tech-driven finance solutions.
This positioning is precisely why Money TLV has become a strategic event for companies like BridgerPay. Founded to simplify and unify the fragmented world of payments, BridgerPay has created a cloud-based orchestration layer that allows businesses to connect to hundreds of payment providers worldwide with minimal friction. Its technology ensures that merchants can scale globally while optimizing transaction success rates and maintaining compliance in multiple jurisdictions, a capability that’s especially relevant in today’s complex regulatory landscape.
Tackling the Cross-Border Problem
Cohen’s panel, Instant and Seamless Cross-Border Payments — Reality or Hype?, addresses one of the industry’s most ambitious goals: enabling real-time, global money movement. Alongside experts from PayPal, Dmelio, and GMT, Cohen will explore the structural challenges that still plague international transactions, from compliance and fraud risk to technological interoperability.
“In a truly global economy, payments need to be as borderless as commerce,” Cohen said. “But we’re still dealing with outdated infrastructure and fragmented regulation. The future lies in orchestrating not just payments, but ecosystems.”
The panel aims to dissect the technological advances making real-time cross-border payments possible and the policy changes required to support that progress. With major players like Visa, Mastercard, and Google contributing to various sessions at the event, the conference will serve as a dynamic forum for addressing both macro trends and tactical innovations.
Orchestration as a Competitive Edge
As financial services grow increasingly complex, the need for flexible infrastructure is more pressing than ever. BridgerPay’s orchestration layer acts as an abstraction point, enabling companies to route transactions intelligently, recover failed payments in real time, and onboard new payment providers without rewriting code. This flexibility is particularly valuable for global merchants operating across multiple currencies and compliance regimes.
Beyond enabling payment success, BridgerPay provides actionable data that helps businesses optimize for conversion, fraud prevention, and user experience.
Fintech’s Moment to Align
Money TLV 2025 arrives at a pivotal moment. As regulators introduce new compliance standards and digital transformation accelerates across traditional banking institutions, the need for collaboration between tech disruptors and incumbents is clear. The event’s panels reflect a broader movement toward integrated financial ecosystems.
As cross-border transactions continue to define the next wave of financial connectivity, BridgerPay is positioning itself as a key enabler of this transformation, making Money TLV 2025 the ideal stage to tell that story.
