“Looking for a bank or payment processors” might be the most expensive post you have ever made
Many of us want to integrate more payment processing options onto our platform, to offering variosu processing services to our clientele. Finding the right payment service providers is hard, but usually we follow these steps: contact as many as we could, gather their fees and integrate the best options.
This challenge is much harder and complex than you would imagine.
PSPs and gateways often share acquiring banks and channels, undermining diversification efforts. This interconnectedness can jeopardize risk management strategies, leaving companies vulnerable to systemic failures.
Sales pitches in the banking and payment processing industry also often overpromise and underdeliver. Pursuing large-volume merchants leads to exaggerated claims, leaving clients disillusioned when expectations aren't met.
Price should not be the sole consideration when selecting a payment provider. Hidden fees, low conversion rates, technical issues, and poor customer service can outweigh initial cost savings.
Short-term discounts may lead to long-term profit losses.
Engaging a payment expert is essential to avoid costly mistakes. Without sufficient experience, companies risk selecting unreliable providers or overlooking critical factors.
Due diligence alone may not suffice in an industry reliant on insider knowledge and trust. Investing in expertise upfront can prevent significant losses in the long run.

Hello everyone! Who here are interested in community banks or credit unions?
Howard Keener and I are launching a FinTech coalition in the Pacific Northwest (https://www.casfintech.org) to connect community banks/credit unions with early-stage FinTechs to get new development via education and discussions leading to proofs of concept and pilot projects.
If you're a community bank/credit union with some big unsolved problems you'd like to get solved, or a startup looking for a community bank/credit union to work with you on your first product, please ping me--even if you're not in the Pacific Northwest. I'd like to hear from you!
(Howard and I also run a startup, but we're launching this coalition to effectively talk with community banks and credit unions in a non-salesy setting--for ourselves and other FinTech startups)

Fintech innovators, are you confident in your compliance processes? In an era where regulatory scrutiny is tightening and consent orders are on the rise, it's crucial for fintechs to ask themselves this question. As you navigate partnerships with banks, robust due diligence is non-negotiable. Do you have comprehensive compliance frameworks? Meticulous documentation? A deep understanding of regulatory requirements? Now is the time to ensure your house is in order. Don't wait for scrutiny to catch you off guard—be proactive and confident in your compliance stance. #FintechCompliance #DueDiligence

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
