- Approval rate
- Decline rate
- Chargebacks
- Payment conversion
- Processing costs
- Analyze payment funnel performance and identify opportunities for optimization.
- Ensure smooth operational processes for settlements, reconciliations, refunds, and disputes.

- Ensure seamless interaction between fiat and crypto payment infrastructure.
Compliance & Risk
- Partner with legal and compliance teams on KYC, AML, PCI DSS, fraud prevention, and regulatory requirements.
- Build payment processes that are secure, compliant, and scalable across jurisdictions.
