Chapter CH-07 payments / multi-jurisdiction
The chokepoint between trader funding and trading. Broker payments span card processing, e-wallets, pay-by-bank / open banking, regional local-rail specialists (APAC, LATAM), and crypto on/off-ramps. 10 vendors split between PSP aggregators (Praxis Cashier), category specialists by rail (Paysafe e-wallets, Trustly + Volt bank-rail), regional specialists (PaymentAsia, PayRetailers, Help2Pay), crypto-fiat hybrid (Match2Pay), high-risk gateway (PayOp), and cross-pillar (B2BinPay from B2Broker).
