Compliance

Compliance is about meeting regulatory, security, and data-protection requirements across payment flows—especially for high-risk industries. Under this tag you’ll find plain-English explainers, checklists, and region-specific guides on PCI DSS, AML/KYC/KYB, PSD2/SCA, GDPR/UK GDPR, sanctions (OFAC, EU), card-scheme rules, and licensing paths (e.g., MSB/EMI, VASP/CASP). The goal: help merchants and PSPs launch and scale while staying audit-ready and minimizing chargeback, fraud, and enforcement risk.

When to use this tag
Use “Compliance” for content on:

  • Building a compliant payments stack for high-risk verticals (iGaming, betting, forex, crypto, adult, nutraceuticals, travel, subscriptions).

  • Policies and controls: onboarding (KYC/KYB), enhanced due diligence, ongoing monitoring, transaction screening, and reporting.

  • Technical safeguards: 3DS/SCA logic, tokenization, data minimization, secure vaulting, and PCI DSS scope reduction.

  • Cross-border nuances: EU/UK (PSD2/AMLD), US (FinCEN & state MTL), APAC (MAS, AUSTRAC), LATAM (data residency), and scheme compliance.

  • Audit preparation, documentation templates, and regulator-friendly metrics.

Possble subtopics

  • PCI DSS scope reduction for high-risk e-commerce

  • Designing SCA/3DS step-ups that don’t kill conversion
