A week of events and activities in Willemstad dedicated to fintech progress across Latin America and the Caribbean, anchored by the CBCS Fintech Conference. 27–31 October 2026. Every venue within walking distance.
In 1 month
Curaçao Fintech Week convenes finance and technology for the region's future — a week of events and activities in Willemstad dedicated to fintech progress across Latin America and the Caribbean. It brings regulators, banks, fintechs, investors and builders together, with every room within walking distance of the Central Bank.
The week is regulator-anchored: the Central Bank of Curaçao and Sint Maarten convenes both its own Fintech Conference and a closed regulatory round table. Around that sit operator programming — forums, workshops and partner sessions hosted by the people building payments, digital assets and impact finance in the region — and relationship time, with an opening reception, mixers and a social Saturday. The week is sized for names, not badges.
Each day carries a theme: Opening on Tuesday, Fintech Frontier on Wednesday, Digital Assets on Thursday, the CBCS Fintech Conference on Friday and Social Saturday to close. Villa Maria — the Curaçao Innovation Hub in Scharloo, 500 m from the Central Bank — is the home base for forums, sessions and the opening reception.
Curaçao Fintech Week is hosted by the Curaçao Innovation Hub in collaboration with the Curaçao Fintech Association. Each event registers separately; the full calendar lives on Luma at luma.com/cfw26.

Oct 2026
Networking and social activities across Willemstad, day and evening, hosted by CFW and partners. Registration opens closer to the date.
Four groups meet here: regulators; banks and payments; corporate services and structures; and capital and builders. That means fintech founders and operators, banks and payment providers, supervisors and policymakers, investors and fund managers, and the corporate service providers and structuring specialists that make Curaçao a regulated, USD-friendly financial base for Latin America and the Caribbean.
Pre-registration for the week is free, but each event registers separately. Follow the CFW calendar on Luma (luma.com/cfw26) to get every link as it goes live. A few sessions are invite-only — the CBCS closed regulatory round table and the DCIF Revolving Funds session.
Everything is in Willemstad and every venue is within walking distance. Villa Maria — the Curaçao Innovation Hub in Scharloo — is the home base and sits 500 m from the Central Bank, where the regulatory round table and the CBCS Fintech Conference take place.
