KYB Friction with Smaller European PSPs

Absolutely, it's a common pain point. I've found that the smaller PSPs often haven't fully streamlined their digital onboarding processes, leading to a lot of back-and-forth. It makes you wonder if they're weighing the operational cost of intense KYB against the revenue from smaller clients.

It's a common challenge. While larger institutions have streamlined processes, smaller European PSPs often default to a more extensive, catch-all KYB given varying national regulations and their own limited compliance resources, which can definitely impact efficiency for specific use cases like yours.

Absolutely, it's a common pain point. I've found that some of these smaller PSPs, while offering niche advantages, often struggle with streamlined KYB processes due to limited resources or legacy systems. It can definitely make setting up new funding rails a drawn-out affair.
