In finance, trust is earned in milliseconds.
0.05 to be exact. That’s all it takes for someone to decide if your brand feels credible.
We’ve seen this firsthand, working with fintech teams around the world. In today’s digital space, if your brand doesn’t feel trustworthy, you’re not even in the running.
Trust is built strategically: clear, intentional design, applied with consistency, aligned messaging, and a product that delivers.
That’s the baseline. Anything less, and the brand isn’t doing its job.
I wrote this article after another conversation with a fintech team struggling to grow. The product was strong, but the brand wasn’t doing the bare minimum. This article breaks down why consistency isn’t just a detail in fintech. It’s the foundation.

When a Citizenship Scheme Collides with Payment Reality
The EU Court just ruled Malta’s citizenship-for-investment scheme illegal, and we just have to wait and see if every client file tied to a Maltese setup now has to be re-checked again.
This change will definitely have an effect on how international clients structure their operations, how banks respond to nationality claims in the future, and how onboarding logic needs to be written going forward.
All banks and payment providers now have to be brought up to date, their risk profiles need to be reviewed, and the old thinking that allowed these clients through without proper checks must be replaced with a more serious and current approach.
What was once a fast track can now raise red flags. If your account, SEPA access, or license was built on this structure, you could be in trouble.

When the Lights Went Out: The Fragile Illusion of a Cashless Society
Yesterday Spain, Portugal and some parts of France was hit by a massive power cut. We had no phone lines, no internet, no payments, and no information. People panicked because they had no way to pay, no way to call for help, and no idea what was happening.
Our good old friend, cash, came back to save the day.
Supermarkets took advantage, raising prices and "forgetting" to declare and tax some extra income, while the whole idea of a cashless society was shown to be dangerously fragile.
The entire idea of a safe cashless society collapsed.

Why VCs Should Stop Wiring Money Upfront – And How Banks Can Win a Lot of New Business With This New Setup
Startups are sitting on investor money they do not need yet, which is not only risky but also costly. It is not only triggering banking red flags but also costing VCs millions in negative carry.
One freeze, one payment delay, or one compliance hurdle, and the entire business can collapse. However, in this setup, there is a huge opportunity for banks and PSPs to attract business with what everyone needs, and it is also very easy to implement.
The deferred funding model is not only better for both VCs and startups but also for the banks and payment providers. Founders and funds are not just looking for a place to park money but they want a trusted financial partner that is flexible, transparent, and responsive.
Whoever offers a real solution can win clients easily.
