An SPV can be fully set up on paper and still hit a pretty big problem:
It has nowhere to move the money.💸

That can quickly become an issue when investors are ready to fund, an asset needs to be purchased or payments need to start moving.

SPVs can take longer to bank because providers often need to understand the structure, ownership and activity before they are comfortable opening an account.

So it makes sense to think about banking while the SPV is being structured, rather than once everything else is done.

A little planning early on can save a lot of headaches later.

When choosing a forex licence, banking probably isn’t the first thing on the comparison list. But it should be pretty high up.

Most brokers will naturally look at things like reputation, capital requirements and which markets a licence allows them to access.🔑

But getting licensed is only part of getting the business up and running.

You still need the right banking and payment relationships behind it. And while FCA, CySEC and ASIC are all respected, they can open different doors depending on where and how you plan to operate.

That’s the angle Lissele Pratt explores in her new article: not which regulator looks best on paper, but what each choice can actually mean when it’s time to get banked.

The more markets you enter, the easier it is for your payment setup to become a patchwork.

One provider for collections. Another for payouts. Different routes for different markets. Then more systems for your team to manage.

One of the regulated providers we work with helps bring more of that together through one connected setup.

Businesses can access:

🔹 Payment capabilities across 170+ countries
🔹 60+ currencies, with local payment rails across 40+
🔹 Collections in key currencies and payouts in 65+ currencies
🔹 FX capabilities for international payment flows
🔹 Batch payments and API integration
🔹 Real-time visibility and streamlined reconciliation

So as payment volumes and international reach grow, the infrastructure behind them can stay easier to manage.

A payment provider can look like the right choice on paper and become a very different story once the relationship is live.🙅‍♂️

The problems often appear later.

You enter a new market and discover a gap. Volumes increase and the setup no longer works as smoothly. Your business model evolves and suddenly falls outside the provider’s appetite. Or your finance team spends more time managing the setup than expected.

That is why choosing a provider should start with a clear picture of what your business needs today and where it is heading next.

The goal is not simply to find someone that can process your payments.
It is to build a payment setup that can keep working as your business changes and grows.

The latest European payment fraud data shows that the challenge is not simply more fraud. It is how fraud is changing.⚠️

Strong Customer Authentication continues to make a difference, but fraudsters are increasingly manipulating legitimate users into authorising transactions themselves. In 2024, payment service users bore around 85% of credit transfer fraud losses, largely due to these scams.

That means a transaction can pass authentication and still be fraudulent.

For payment firms, effective fraud prevention increasingly depends on understanding the behaviour and patterns around a transaction, alongside traditional security controls.

The EBA continues to monitor payment fraud across the EEA, making better data increasingly important for understanding where controls are working and where fraud is finding another route through.

Crypto in gambling payments is moving from “what if?” to “how do we actually make this work?” 👀

Last week at SBC Summit Lisbon, our co-founder, Lissele Pratt, joined Ian Sherrington, Martha Brincat and Julian Goffin, with Vit Jedlicka moderating, to get into exactly that.

The conversation explored how operators can use crypto and stablecoins for faster payments while keeping compliance, security, and player trust front and centre.

Payment performance can tell you much more than how well your payment stack is working.⛓️‍💥

For iGaming operators, it can reveal where the player journey is breaking down, which markets need stronger coverage and where the existing setup may be limiting growth.

The challenge is that there is rarely one fix.

A new PSP might add another option, but it does not automatically solve gaps in routing, local payment preferences or payout coverage. Each provider and payment rail needs to serve a clear purpose within the wider setup.

That becomes even more important as operators enter new markets, where issuer behaviour and payment preferences can vary considerably.

Head over to our website, where we explore how operators can approach payments as part of the wider player experience and build infrastructure that supports growth across markets.🌐

AI risk in banking is no longer just about how banks use the technology.
It is also about how AI could be used against them.

Banks directly supervised by the ECB have until 31 October 2026 to submit an action plan addressing AI-enabled cyber threats.

Those plans need to cover:

🔹 What measures will be taken
🔹 Who will be responsible
🔹 What resources are needed
🔹 When they will be implemented

As AI makes sophisticated cyberattacks easier to scale, banks need to think about both sides: how they use AI and whether their systems are ready for how attackers could use it.

AI-driven cyber risk is becoming a much bigger part of the resilience conversation. 👀

A FATF grey listing can change your banking situation overnight, even when nothing about your business has changed.⛓️

That distinction matters.

Grey listing assesses weaknesses in a country’s AML and counter terrorist financing framework. It does not place individual businesses under suspicion and it is not a sanction.

Yet banks still have to decide how much risk and additional compliance work they are willing to take on.

That is where businesses can start seeing the impact through deeper checks, more documentation and fewer providers willing to assess them.

And with 22 jurisdictions on the FATF grey list as of June 2026, this affects businesses across markets ranging from Monaco and Kuwait to Bulgaria and the British Virgin Islands.

In her latest article, Elena explains what FATF grey listing actually means, how it can affect business banking and what companies can do to prepare.

This conversation with Monica Millares isn’t recent.

Listening back, one thing stood out: some things in fintech are still very much the same.

We talk a lot about better technology, faster payments and smoother customer experiences.
Yet sometimes improving the industry starts with something much simpler: transparency.

Especially when the answer is no.

If you cannot support a customer, tell them. If something changes, communicate it. If your team needs context, give it to them.

Silence rarely creates a better experience.

It’s interesting to revisit this conversation and realise how relevant the message still feels today.

What do you think would make fintech more transparent? 🤔
