ChainIT Pay President Jodi Durst to Speak at the 2026 Midwest Acquirers Association Conference in Chicago

CHICAGO, IL — July 2026 — ChainIT Pay announced that Jodi Durst, President of ChainIT Pay, will speak at the 2026 Midwest Acquirers Association (MWAA) Conference, one of the payments industry’s leading gatherings for fintech innovators, financial institutions, payment processors, ISOs, and technology leaders.

The conference will be held July 22–23, 2026, at the Chicago Marriott Downtown Magnificent Mile in Chicago, Illinois, bringing together executives and innovators focused on the next generation of digital commerce and financial infrastructure.

Jodi will participate in the Merchant Level Sales Forum on Wednesday, July 22, joining respected leaders from across the payments ecosystem to discuss where payment technology is heading (and what businesses need to build for what’s next). The panel will explore the evolution of payment infrastructure, merchant services, fintech innovation, and the technologies redefining how money moves.

Building the Next Layer of Payments

Payments have become faster than ever. Trust hasn’t.

As digital commerce expands across marketplaces, embedded finance, AI agents, and real-time payment networks, businesses face a growing challenge: knowing exactly who they’re transacting with, what has been agreed to, and whether every transaction can be independently verified.

ChainIT Pay was built to solve that problem.

Rather than treating identity verification, agreements, compliance, and payments as disconnected systems, ChainIT Pay combines them into a single verified transaction layer. Every payment can be linked to verified identities, authenticated agreements, and cryptographically protected records, creating a trusted foundation for enterprise commerce.

The result is payment infrastructure designed not only to move money, but to verify every transaction behind it.

Designed for the Future of Commerce

ChainIT Pay enables organizations to build payment experiences where trust is embedded by design.

The platform supports enterprise payments, marketplaces, B2B transactions, digital wallets, cross-border commerce, and programmable financial workflows while helping organizations reduce fraud, simplify compliance, and improve operational transparency.

Built on ChainIT’s patented verification technology, the platform creates verifiable digital records that can be shared across organizations, auditors, regulators, counterparties, and increasingly, AI-powered systems that require trusted machine-readable data.

As commerce becomes increasingly automated, verified data becomes as important as payment speed.

The Industry Is Entering a New Era

The payments industry is undergoing one of its most significant transformations in decades.

Real-time payment networks, stablecoins, embedded finance, digital identity, AI, and increasing regulatory expectations are reshaping how businesses exchange value. Success will depend on infrastructure that delivers not only speed, but confidence, transparency, and verifiable trust.

The Midwest Acquirers Association Conference brings together the companies building that future, creating an environment where payment leaders can exchange ideas, evaluate emerging technologies, and explore the next generation of financial infrastructure.

A Conversation About What’s Next

During the Merchant Level Sales Forum, Jodi Durst will discuss the technologies shaping the next generation of payments, including digital identity, verification, payment infrastructure, and the growing role of trusted data in modern commerce. The session brings together industry leaders to examine how businesses can prepare for an increasingly connected ecosystem of real-time payments, embedded finance, AI-driven automation, and evolving regulatory requirements.

As organizations modernize their payment operations, the discussion will focus on infrastructure that delivers not only speed and efficiency, but also verifiable trust, transparency, and accountability across every transaction. These capabilities are becoming increasingly important as businesses, financial institutions, and technology providers build systems designed for enterprise-scale digital commerce.
