Short answer: TRUSTECH 2026 runs 1–3 December 2026 at Paris Expo Porte de Versailles. It is the international event for payment and identification technologies, not a cash-equipment show, and that is exactly why cash buyers should read its agenda. The organiser lists tokenisation, biometrics, digital currencies, open banking and mobile payments as core payment topics. Every one of those channels still meets physical notes at a bank counter, a shop till or a back office. Verification and counting tools such as the DC-5100 detector and the LD-1500 counter belong in that hybrid picture.

What is TRUSTECH and when does it take place?

According to the official TRUSTECH page, the next edition takes place from 1 to 3 December 2026 in Paris, held annually at Paris Expo Porte de Versailles. The organiser expects nearly 8,000 visitors and more than 200 international exhibitors. The show began as CARTES Secure Connexions, built around smart-card technology, and was renamed TRUSTECH in 2016 to reflect a wider remit: innovative payments, digital identity, biometrics, digital security and cybersecurity.

The organiser reports that the previous edition drew 7,700 international participants from 104 countries, 197 exhibitors (82 percent of them international), 115 speakers and experts, and more than 500 organised business meetings. The format combines an exhibition, a conference programme, an Innovation Stage with live pitches, the TRUSTECH Innovation Awards and pre-scheduled business meetings.

Why should cash-equipment buyers care about a payments and identity show?

Because cash is rarely the only channel a bank, retailer or exchange office runs. TRUSTECH’s own description of the payment market stresses payments that are “invisible, seamless and embedded into the customer experience,” and an ecosystem reshaped by open finance, tokenisation and instant payments. It also mentions the growing adoption of central bank digital currencies, stablecoins and tokenised deposits.

None of that removes the counter. Customers still arrive with notes to deposit, a cashier still prepares a till float, and a back office still reconciles takings that include both card and cash. The practical question for a procurement team is not “digital or cash?” but “how do we keep the cash leg as accurate and as secure as the digital leg?” An event that gathers banks, retailers, public institutions and technology providers in one hall is a useful place to see how those two legs are being designed together.

Which TRUSTECH themes touch the cash workflow?

The organiser frames the programme around two pillars. The first, innovative payments, covers biometrics, tokenisation, digital currencies, open banking, cryptography, mobile payments and customer experience. The second, digital identity, covers authentication, government identity, eID, public digital infrastructure and access management. Three threads connect to cash operations.

Authentication and verification. Digital channels check a customer with biometrics or cryptography. Physical cash needs an equivalent check on the note itself. The DC-5100 page lists ultraviolet detection at 365 nm, magnetic ink detection and a 5X magnifier for microprinting, plus a ruler area for comparing note size.

Customer experience at the point of service. Payments are meant to be quick and seamless. A cash transaction should not be the slow lane. The LD-1500 is listed at more than 1,000 notes per minute, with automatic start, stop and clear, and an amount preset so a teller can prepare a fixed bundle and have the machine stop when the batch is reached.

Data and integration. Digital payments produce data automatically; cash counts often do not. A machine with a data interface closes part of that gap. The LD-1910 lists USB and RS232 ports alongside mixed-value counting with one contact image sensor (CIS), so a count can feed a system rather than only a display.

What do the three Easy-Banker machines actually offer?

Here are the figures as published on the live product pages, so you can compare them against a shortlist.

DC-5100 detector. Ultraviolet (UV) and magnetic (MG) detection, 365 nm UV wavelength, 5X magnification, and a 6 W LED lamp. It has a built-in 1200 mAh battery with working time up to 4 hours, recharging by USB. It measures 200 × 105 × 105 mm and weighs 0.55 kg net, which suits a counter, a desk or a temporary station. It does not list fluorescent detection with a sound alarm, so it is a manual inspection tool rather than an automatic one.

LD-1500 counter. UV, MG and infrared (IR) detection, plus DD width detection, which flags a note whose width differs from the first note in the pile. Hopper and stacker each hold 100 old bills or 200 new bills. It measures 250 × 240 × 220 mm and weighs 5.5 kg net. The page states clearly that it does not recognise denominations or total mixed values.

LD-1910 mixed-value counter. One CIS plus UV and MG detection, mixed-value counting with denomination and version sorting, 1,000 notes per minute, and 200-note hopper and stacker. It has a TFT display, USB and RS232 interfaces, 90–240V power and 95 W consumption. It measures 347 × 262 × 192 mm and weighs 5.5 kg net.

None of these pages lists central bank or test-laboratory approval, so confirm local requirements for your market before you buy.

How should a buyer prepare for the show season?

Treat TRUSTECH as one input among several. Our the currency sorter buying guide explains how to match a sorter to fitness and compliance needs, and the same discipline applies to counters and detectors.

List the cash steps in your branch or store (acceptance, verification, counting, batching, deposit), mark which already feed a digital system, and ask each supplier for the published specifications of the exact model.

Distributors can bring the same list to customers reviewing their payments stack. You can contact Easy-Banker for a model that matches your market and specification.
