How e-commerce founders structure banking, PSPs, and risk controls across Asia and the Middle East.

  • Revenue Pipes: PSPs vs. direct acquiring; payout schedules.
  • Bank Expectations: evidence of sales, refund policy, chargeback ratios.
  • Multi-Currency Strategy: USD/EUR base, JPY/AED/SGD pockets.
  • Reconciliation & Tax: mapping PSP statements to bank ledgers; VAT/GST.
  • Risk Controls: velocity rules, reserve accounts, rolling reserves. FAQ:
  • Do I need a local entity? Often yes for acquiring; alternatives exist via cross-border PSPs.
  • Can I start with EMI/neo-bank? Good for phase 1; migrate to tier-1 later. Editor’s Note: Clean data wins banking relationships. Tags: E-commerce, Merchant, PSP, Risk
