A legitimate business opened a new bank account in the morning. A 9 million transaction arrived. By lunchtime, the account was closed.

For companies operating in iGaming, crypto, forex and other industries banks classify as high risk, losing a banking relationship isn't just an inconvenience - it can stop incoming payments, supplier payments and potentially the entire business.

Julian Goffin, Founder and CEO of Alunafi, explains why banks reject or de-bank businesses, why becoming more successful can actually make your banking risk worse, and what happens operationally when an account suddenly disappears.

We discuss the three characteristics that often trigger additional scrutiny - high transaction volumes, cross-border payments and chargebacks - and why companies need to diversify their banking infrastructure instead of relying on a single institution.

Julian also explains how payments can be rejected because of the counterparty rather than your own company, why communication during onboarding matters, and where stablecoins can solve some of the cost and speed problems of international payments.

Listen if you operate in iGaming, crypto, fintech, forex or any international business where losing access to your money - even temporarily - could become an existential problem.
