What’s Your Sacrifice?
Balancing cost, security, and usability in payment and banking operations is crucial. However, achieving affordability, security, and user-friendliness in one provider is rare, and we often need to make some hard compromises.
1. An easy-to-use, technologically innovative, secure payment channel often comes with high costs. Providers like Stripe and PayPal offer seamless integration and robust security, heavily investing in user experience. While initially appealing, these benefits usually come with high transaction fees and charges as your business scales. The initial savings from reduced integration time and fraud protection are eventually offset by the long-term impact on your bottom line.
2. Choosing an innovative and cheap solution often means UX challenges. Providers with low transaction fees and strong technological USPs often compromise on customer service and sophistication. Fintech startups, for example, may have the best ideas out there, but their technical bugs and poor customer support make integration cumbersome. Prolonged and challenging implementation processes and technical glitches can not only disrupt your operations but can also become a major burden for scaling up.
3. A banking or payment product that is both cheap and easy to use often compromises security. Offshore banks and lesser-known providers, regulated under looser financial licenses, may lack rigorous security, AML, and data protection protocols. Such setups often lead to frozen accounts or even the disappearance of funds. The initial savings and convenience can quickly turn into significant financial and operational risks.
Understanding these dynamics is essential for making informed decisions about your payment and banking strategy. The goal is to achieve a balance that supports long-term stability and growth.

Another powerful report from FIS on global payments. This is a 156-report that gives you global payments trends, key insights, and other important ecosystem information.
The payments space continues to evolve with super apps, CBDCs, embedded finance, evolution of real-time payments, banking the unbanked, and more...
Check out the report and use it as a reference guide for what's happening and what's coming in payments.
I want to thank Ahmed Refaie Abdo from DSRPTD in the UAE for sharing it with me.
What are your thoughts? Steven Wasserman, Mario Cohen, Jaroslaw Sarwa, Angel Lorente, Carlos M. Mendes , Fabian Lehner , Elena Kozhemyakina , Jaroslaw Sarwa , Adam Ull , Sefa Bicer , Shafique Ibrahim
