PayFac as a Service
Lately, everybody talks about and offers 'PayFac as a service' and encourages everyone to start operating as a Payment Facilitator (PayFac). PayFac is the model behind FinTech’s biggest successes, from Shopify to Uber, so it's a critical but often misunderstood topic.
Before you jump right into it, there are several key factors to consider, and various potential risks to be wary of:
1.) Liability: PayFacs must adhere to strict regulatory standards, such as the Payment Card Industry Data Security Standard (PCI DSS), local financial regulations, and anti-money laundering (AML) laws. You need to understand what the responsibility of your provider is, how they meet these legal requirements, and what tasks are shifted to your operation.
2.) Risk: As a PayFac, you assume a greater level of risk for transactions processed through your platform, including chargebacks and fraud. Risk management tools and support offered by the service provider can And mitigate these risks, but the majority of the headache is still on you.
3.) Integration: Integrating payment processing capabilities can be complex. Consider the technical support and integration assistance the service provider offers. Ensure their systems are compatible with your existing infrastructure and budget for the lengthy development that needs to be added to your roadmap. Unexpected issues usually arise during implementation, which can extend time and cost spent on the project.

Seven years ago I started FinTech Connector as a meet-up group at a bar Hurley's by Morgan Stanley's corporate office to bring together financial services executives to connect with fintech entrepreneurs to help each other.
The executives and experts wanted to get involved and learn about fintech.
The entrepreneurs needed help finding partners, investors, and expertise.
Today, I continue to passionately bring together executives, experts, and entrepreneurs through our global, online platform that hosts over 4,600 members from 125 countries that are connecting, collaborating, and creating financial services innovation.
I want to thank all of our members that continue on this journey to connect the fintech world.
More importantly, I want to thank our investors, Premier members, and Pro members that are helping me financially to keep FinTech Connector going.
Without your support we wouldn't be where we are today!

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
