Hi guys, we all know crypto payments are far from mass adoption, it is just buzzwords gateways currently use. I'm the Founder of my gateway now, putting all my knowledge into practice, this time for myself.
I'm a Chairman of a US Exchange group and was literally one of the first persons selling crypto payments.
Let's connect: I'm fundraising, I love to talk to experts and learn from mentors. We have the momentum now, with the US changing economy as we know it!

If you don’t plan banking and payments first, your business might never even start.
Banks often reject applications based on gut feeling, without explanation. Even if your business is 100% legal, if a compliance officer doesn’t understand it instantly, you’re out—no second chances.
But if banks can block you from operating before you even start, how can you risk investing money, time, and energy into building your product? No account means no transactions, no revenue, no business—and by the time you realize it, it’s too late.
Running in circles, blindly trying to please banks, is not the answer. You need to understand "how banks think" to be able to save time, cost and energy on the application process.
Read my article to see what can you do.

The Power of Strong System Architecture 🔗
Fast data starts with a solid foundation: your system architecture.
• Loose coupling prevents a single failure from toppling everything.
• Asynchronous processes save time and increase resilience.
• Fault-tolerant design ensures your system stays functional even under pressure.
Great architecture isn’t just about functionality—it’s about stability and efficiency.

Before you send your money to any online platform—casino, investment firm, or crypto exchange—ask yourself: is your money really safe?
Questionable payment methods, shady providers, and unclear withdrawal terms could mean your funds are at risk of disappearing.
If the platform’s financial partners are based in weak jurisdictions or avoid proper regulations, that’s your red flag.
Don’t ignore the signs.
A few moments of research could save you from losing everything. Read my article for more information.

*Navigating AI Transformation in Finance*
Artificial intelligence (AI) is revolutionising the financial industry, offering unparalleled opportunities to enhance customer experience, drive growth, and improve financial resilience. From personalised investment advice to smarter credit offerings and AI-powered underwriting, the integration of AI allows financial institutions to deliver tailored, customer-centric services.
Yet, with great potential comes great responsibility. Ethical challenges, such as biased algorithms, manipulative advertising, and profit-driven recommendations, threaten to undermine trust in financial AI systems. A recent survey revealed that 80% of consumers are concerned about AI misuse in finance, underscoring the need for robust ethical frameworks and regulatory compliance.
How can financial institutions balance innovation with ethical integrity?
By leveraging behavioural science, organisations can:
∙ Train AI models on inclusive, bias-free data to promote fairness and transparency.
∙ Develop ethical credit scoring systems that broaden access to financial services.
∙ Avoid manipulative AI-driven advertising that exploits consumer vulnerabilities.
∙ Design consumer-focused investment tools that align with clients’ best interests.

It’s time to change how we think about payment and banking.
Payment and banking isn’t just a side function of finance anymore—it’s critical to your entire business strategy. Poor planning leads to frozen accounts, compliance fines, lost customers, and even total failure.
However, the real problem lies in industry habits—most companies rely on so-called ‘payment experts’ or "strategists" who are just salespeople working for commission, pushing solutions that benefit them, not you.
The stakes are too high for shortcuts or bad advice. Rethink payment and banking. Appreciate independence.
