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.

The globalization of finance
The payment and banking
sectors needs to adapt to meet growing demand,
evolving into truly international operations. However,
this comes with its challenges.
Banking regulations and rules vary significantly across
countries, making the process of international money
transfers more complex and compliance more
stringent.
Today, companies engaged in international
payments and banking face an unprecedented number
of regulations to adhere to, risks to manage, and fees
to consider. Moreover, keeping pace with new
technologies, such as the still largely unregulated cryptocurrencies, adds to the complexity.
Payment
professionals must adapt to both traditional banking
practices and the rapidly changing landscape of
digital payments. Managing
these multifaceted
challenges is critical, which has increased the demand
for payment experts and global banking professionals.
Many international businesses are in need of this
expertise but struggle to find the right talent to help
them with their payment and banking issues on a daily
basis.

Hungary’s Cash Protection Law: Economic Stability or Financial Risk?
Hungary is amending its constitution to guarantee the right to pay in cash. While positioned as a move to protect consumer choice, it raises concerns for businesses, banks, and the country’s financial stability.
Cash increases operational costs, weakens financial transparency, and complicates compliance with global banking regulations. It could also impact Hungary’s trade relationships and currency stability.

ISO Standards in Banking and Payments: What You Need to Know
Payment failures, frozen accounts, and regulatory fines happen more often than you think.
Most people handling payments have no proper training, and MBAs don’t cover this.
ISO standards define how banks process transactions, prevent fraud, and stay compliant, yet most businesses don’t even know they exist. Ignoring them leads to security breaches, lost funds, and costly mistakes.

"Oh come on, it just a bank....!"
You probably don’t spend much time thinking about payment and banking—until something goes wrong.
A failed transaction, a frozen account, or a sudden account closure can throw your business into chaos overnight.
You assume your finance team has it covered, but payment and banking don’t follow the same rules as accounting.
The ones who manage payment and banking tasks are not adequately trained to so.Key areas, such as how payments and banking affect technology, UX, compliance, and other essential aspects in a business, are absent from accounting, economics courses, and MBAs.
One mistake can cut off your cash flow, block customer payments, and leave you scrambling with no clear answers.
If you’re not actively managing this, you’re already at risk. Here’s what you need to know:

Thinking your payment and banking setup is fine? Think again.
One mistake—choosing the wrong bank, relying on a single provider, or ignoring compliance changes—can freeze your accounts, block your transactions, and cut you off from your own money.
Too many businesses assume payments are "just finance" or that "their accountant can handle it". That’s exactly how companies end up with crippling fees, rejected transactions, and lost revenue.
Your payment and banking setup isn’t an afterthought—it’s your business lifeline. Get it wrong, and you might not have a business left.
