We've been vetting a few newer PSPs for our expansion into LatAm, and while the fee structures are attractive, the lack of long-term payout reliability data is a significant concern. Has anyone here implemented robust due diligence frameworks specifically for evaluating new payment providers on this metric beyond initial transaction success rates?
We faced similar concerns expanding into emerging markets. Beyond standard checks, we started requiring detailed breakdowns of their network partners and reserve policies, particularly for local currency payouts. What specific metrics are you struggling to get clarity on?
That's a very real concern. Beyond the usual financial health checks, we've started incorporating a review of their key partners and any public statements regarding their own financial liquidity or recent funding rounds. It's not a perfect solution, but it adds another layer to understanding their operational stability.
We faced similar issues with a new APAC PSP. Our solution involved mandating a 6-month probationary period with a tiered volume cap and frequent payout audits before fully integrating them. It's a bit slow but provides real-world data.
That's a really solid point. We ran into similar issues when we expanded into APAC. Beyond just uptime and initial success rates, did you look into their banking partners or the number of different banking relationships they maintain in those regions? Sometimes that can give you a better feel for their underlying stability.
