We cover local vs cross-border acquiring, multi-currency pricing (MCP) vs DCC, FX and settlement currencies, tax/VAT and invoicing basics, PSD2/SCA & 3DS strategy by market, smart routing & cascading, BIN/issuer-country rules, APM coverage by region (SEPA/Open Banking, PIX/boletos, UPI, Alipay/WeChat, Trustly, etc.), fraud/chargeback controls, sanctions/geofencing, data residency, and payout rails. This aligns with WiseAlt’s focus on global acceptance and region-tailored methods.
