QUESTIONS

Scope, risk, and delivery.

Do you handle PCI compliance?+

We use Stripe and similar PCI-compliant payment processors, which means sensitive card data never touches your servers. This significantly reduces compliance burden.

Can you integrate with banks?+

Yes, we integrate with Plaid for account linking, MX for data aggregation, and various banking APIs. Specific integrations depend on your use case.

What about regulatory requirements?+

We build the technical infrastructure. Regulatory licensing (money transmitter licenses, etc.) is typically handled by your legal team, but we can recommend compliance partners.
