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.

• Asynchronous processes save time and increase resilience.

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.

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
