Why it matters

Financial services has one characteristic that makes it unlike every other sector: it can fail on experience and survive, but it cannot fail on trust. That is why moves that look slow from the outside are usually prudent from the inside.

My view here is shaped by the Panamanian market: regulation changes, standards arrive with a deadline, and the operation has to keep invoicing while it adapts. The useful question is not whether it suits you, it is how much time there is to comply.

What usually goes wrong

Where it usually breaks is customer service. The product launches, the support team finds out the week before, and when somebody calls because the money did not arrive nobody knows what to tell them. Trust is lost there, not in the technical outage that caused it.

What to watch

  • Which part of the customer relationship ends up with a third party and whether that is reversible.
  • What happens to cost per transaction at real volume, which is where the business is decided.
  • How daily reconciliation is left, which is where the cases nobody modelled show up.

How I read this entry

If this came into an institution, I would look at reconciliation first. Everything new in payments looks fine until the day has to balance, and that is when the cases nobody modelled appear: reversals, duplicates, half-completed transactions. That boring work decides whether the product is sustainable.
