Who We Work With
Different broker segments face different payment realities. We understand the nuances of each.
Tier 2 Regional Brokers
Regulated, Professional, and Still Treated Like a Risk
We Get It
You've built a compliant operation. CySEC, FCA, ASIC—you've got the license, the compliance team, the segregated accounts, the audit trail. You're not cutting corners. But to banks, you're still a category code that triggers enhanced due diligence and conservative risk appetite.
The result: you're paying high-risk premiums despite running a tighter ship than half the "low-risk" merchants your bank happily serves. Your banking relationships feel provisional—you've either been exited before or you operate knowing it could happen. And the geographic coverage gaps mean you're turning away business or routing payments through expensive workarounds.
How I Help
I work with Tier 2 regional brokers to build payment infrastructure that matches your actual risk profile, not your category. That means identifying banking and PSP relationships that understand your compliance standards, building redundancy so no single relationship is existential, and evaluating where stablecoin rails can fill geographic or speed gaps.
Stablecoin Relevance
For Tier 2 brokers, stablecoins often make sense for IB/affiliate payments (especially cross-border), banking redundancy, and serving client bases in regions where your traditional payment coverage is weak. They're not a replacement for your core banking—they're infrastructure that reduces your dependence on it.
Tier 1 Global Brokers
Scale Solves Some Problems. Not All of Them.
We Get It
Your size gives you leverage most brokers don't have. You can negotiate banking relationships, absorb compliance costs, and build internal treasury operations that smaller players can't afford. Payment infrastructure isn't your existential risk.
But scale creates its own complexity. Multi-entity structures across jurisdictions mean treasury operations that should be simple become coordination exercises. Correspondent banking friction on certain corridors costs more in operational overhead than the transaction fees suggest. And regulatory fragmentation means your payment infrastructure needs to work differently in different markets.
How I Help
For Tier 1 brokers, I typically work on specific optimization problems rather than wholesale infrastructure rebuilds: evaluating stablecoin rails for inter-company settlement, assessing emerging payment infrastructure for specific corridors, or providing independent perspective on build-vs-buy decisions for payment operations.
Stablecoin Relevance
Large brokers are often better positioned to implement stablecoin infrastructure than smaller ones—you have the compliance resources, the technical capability, and the transaction volumes to justify the operational investment. The question is usually where it fits in your existing stack, not whether you can handle it.
Prop Trading Firms
Thousands of Payouts. Dozens of Countries. One Payment Headache.
We Get It
Your payment profile is unusual: high-volume small inbound payments from funded account purchases, concentrated outbound payouts to traders across 100+ countries, and the expectation of fast, reliable settlement that your brand depends on. Trader trust is built on payout reliability—one viral complaint about delayed withdrawals costs more than any payment processing fee.
Traditional payment infrastructure wasn't designed for this pattern. You're either paying premium rates for coverage you need, managing multiple PSP relationships to cover geographic gaps, or accepting that certain corridors are just going to be slow and expensive.
How I Help
I help prop firms build payout infrastructure that matches your actual flow patterns—high volume, global reach, speed-sensitive. That usually means a combination of traditional payment rails for straightforward corridors and stablecoin infrastructure for the long tail of countries where traditional options are slow or expensive.
Stablecoin Relevance
Prop trading is one of the segments where stablecoins make the most obvious sense. Traders are often crypto-comfortable (or crypto-native), the payout pattern suits blockchain settlement, and the geographic reach of stablecoins solves real coverage gaps. The question is usually implementation details, not whether it fits.
White Label Providers
Your Clients' Payment Problems Become Your Problems
We Get It
You're not just solving your own payment challenges—you're solving them for every broker on your platform. When your payment infrastructure has gaps, your white label clients feel it. When banking relationships get complicated, you're managing the fallout across multiple brands. Your payment capabilities are a competitive feature, and limitations cost you deals.
You're also sophisticated buyers. You understand payment infrastructure deeply, you've evaluated the options, and you're not looking for someone to explain the basics. What you might be looking for is independent perspective on emerging infrastructure, specific expertise on stablecoin implementation, or relationships with providers you haven't connected with yet.
How I Help
I work with white label providers on specific infrastructure questions: evaluating stablecoin integration for your platform, assessing new payment providers, or providing independent perspective on payment strategy decisions. I'm not going to pitch you on problems you've already solved.
Stablecoin Relevance
For white label providers, stablecoin capability is increasingly a platform feature your clients expect. The question is how to implement it in a way that's compliant, operationally manageable, and actually useful for your client base—not just a checkbox.
Tier 3 Emerging Market Brokers
The Banks Don't Want You. Your Clients Still Need to Pay.
We Get It
Operating from Seychelles, Belize, Vanuatu, or Mauritius means accepting a reality: most traditional banking infrastructure isn't available to you, and what is available is expensive, unreliable, or both. Your licensing jurisdiction is a business decision with payment consequences.
You're serving clients in markets that global brokers often ignore—and those clients have even fewer payment options than you do. The combination of your jurisdiction and your client geography creates payment challenges that traditional infrastructure simply doesn't solve well.
How I Help
For Tier 3 brokers, I focus on building payment infrastructure that works within your constraints rather than pretending those constraints don't exist. That often means stablecoin-heavy approaches for both client payments and operational flows, combined with whatever traditional banking access you can maintain.
Stablecoin Relevance
This is the segment where stablecoins often make the most difference. When traditional banking is genuinely limited, stablecoin infrastructure isn't a nice-to-have—it's core operational capability. The challenge is implementing it properly: compliance, custody, liquidity management, client education.
Liquidity Providers
When Settlement Speed Is Risk Management
We Get It
Your payment challenges are different from your broker clients'. You're not dealing with high-volume retail payments—you're dealing with institutional settlement flows where timing matters. Margin calls that need to settle in hours, not days. Cross-border flows between entities that traditional banking makes unnecessarily complex.
Settlement speed isn't just convenience for you—it's risk management. Delays in moving capital create exposure. Traditional banking settlement windows are a source of operational risk, not just friction.
How I Help
For liquidity providers, I focus on the specific corridors and flows where settlement speed matters most. That often means evaluating stablecoin rails for institutional settlement, assessing custody solutions that support rapid movement, and building infrastructure that reduces your exposure to traditional banking delays.
Stablecoin Relevance
Stablecoins are particularly relevant for LPs because institutional settlement is exactly the use case they're designed for. The challenge is usually custody and counterparty infrastructure—making sure your trading partners can receive and send stablecoin payments with the same reliability as traditional rails.
