Operations and compliance editor
William covers what happens once a company starts moving money: getting the business verified, paying contractors and suppliers abroad, and keeping card spend under control. William writes for the founder or finance lead who has to make it work this week, and links every rule cited to the text it comes from.
Cards and spendA declined ad payment pauses delivery, and a paused campaign can lose the learning it spent a week's budget building. Most declines are preventable with how the cards are set up.

PaymentsPayoneer was built for marketplace payouts. If your clients pay you directly, its percentage fees on receiving and withdrawing can cost more than the work of switching. Here is the arithmetic.
AccountsMercury is built for US companies, and its rules say so. If your company is registered in London, Dubai, Singapore or Lagos, you can still get US account details in its own name, without a Delaware filing.
ComplianceEvery business account starts with verification. Knowing what the reviewer needs, and why, is the difference between a decision in days and a month of follow-up emails.
Named accounts in USD, EUR and GBP, cards with a limit on each, and payouts on local rails. Starter is free.
