im building a fintech with a partner
had to do a lot of research on security practices, because whatever I think I knew about the topic, it's still not enough when dealing with clients money
everything is much slower to code and deploy, you must be eyes open with any file changes by AI, protect everything from external access, etc
at the same time, it's pretty cool to be developing something that important, feels like i'm using another part of my brain that my 20 previous projects didn't have access to
yolo mode is off and --dangerously-skip-permissions is not an option anymore, ouch!
anyway, business goal is to compete with payoneer, with much better fees
we'll help Brazilian publishers, ecom owners, affiliates, etc, getting paid in their own virtual USD bank account (without setting up an LLC)
they'll also be able to load that money into US debit cards for ads, expenses, etc, without having to convert it to BRL and paying additional taxes/fees
basically like having a Mercury account without setting up a US LLC!
it's a pretty great business model and my partner has transacted over $100 million for his clients (manually), so now we can automate and grow it with proper tech
(if you use payoneer by any change, hit me up, we can run a test together and reduce up to 50% of your current costs)
let's go!
