How Payment Flows and Direct Sourcing Are Reshaping International Trade
Your payment setup might be the silent reason your business fails. While you focus on tariffs, competitors are bypassing you completely—collecting faster, settling cheaper, and reaching your customers directly.

How Shopper Expectations Are Redefining Business Success

Banks are asking for the power to freeze any account without waiting for a court or police order.
Is it good? Or harmful?
The goal is to act faster than cybercriminals. But the risk of making a mistake is too big to ignore.
One wrong trigger can block a company’s access to its own money, delay salaries, and ruin client trust in a single day. And once an account is frozen based on suspicion, the damage is done, even if it was a false alarm.

AI can now create fake passports that pass KYC checks.
It only takes minutes, and yes, your company is in danger, too!
A Polish researcher just proved to us, just how easy it is to trick today’s onboarding systems using synthetically generated documents.
This isn’t a future threat - it’s already happening.
If your compliance setup relies on static photo checks and third-party tools, you might be exposed and risk some serious penalties, too.
