Stablecoins Are Breaking the Correspondent Banking System
Mesh raised $82 million without using a single bank—no SWIFT, no delays, no intermediaries. Just instant settlement through a stablecoin.
Meanwhile, most businesses are stuck between broken banking systems and unregulated stablecoin options—risking frozen funds, failed payments, and months of profit wiped out without warning.
The real problem isn’t the tools. It’s the lack of planning.
Most companies have no strategy for how money moves, which leads to operational chaos, high fees, and account closures they didn’t see coming.
You can’t fix this with assumptions or blindly following an advice from a forum. You need a proper payment and banking setup—because getting it wrong won’t just cost you money, it can cost you the business.

The Money Laundering Webinar
Viktoria Soltesz, Founder of The Soltesz Institute hosted an exclusive discussion with financial crime expert Kenneth Rijock, revealing the real-world methods criminals use to move illicit funds through banks and payment providers.
Money launderers don’t use fake IDs or stolen cards—they use real businesses, legal structures, and bank accounts to clean dirty money.
Most banks assume high-risk jurisdictions are the problem, but the real threats hide in plain sight, blending seamlessly into legitimate transactions. Payment processors are an easy target because money moves too fast for outdated compliance methods to catch.
One mistake can get your accounts frozen, your business shut down, and land you in serious legal trouble.
Learn More Kenneth Rijock’s upcoming seminar at The Soltesz Institute will provide an inside look at modern laundering tactics, the weak spots criminals exploit, and how financial institutions can defend against them.

Visa’s New VAMP Rules Will Cost You—Here’s Why You Should Be Worried
Visa is charging merchants per transaction for fraud and chargebacks.
Visa is tightening its grip, and businesses that don’t take action now will pay for it—literally. Visa is no longer just flagging high-risk merchants—it is charging them per transaction.
If a customer disputes a charge, even fraudulently, it counts against you. If your dispute rate crosses Visa’s limits, you pay penalties on every transaction, and winning a chargeback later won’t refund the fines.
Acquirers won’t take the risk and will start cutting off high-risk businesses. This is not just a cost issue—it’s a threat to your entire business.
