What a money transmitter or payments company's scenario inventory has to reach

A payments company moves money in seconds for customers it has seen only online, so velocity, mule and account takeover scenarios carry more of the load, and sanctions screening has to act before release.

Channels ticked by default: ACH and direct entry, domestic wires, international wires, real-time payments, person-to-person payments, debit and credit cards, prepaid and stored value, merchant acquiring, online and mobile banking and foreign exchange. On those 10 default channels the coverage chart carries 39 typologies and 96 sectors; untick a channel and its column leaves the chart. Read a scenario list as this institution.
