𝗛𝗮𝗽𝗽𝘆 𝗜𝗻𝘁𝗲𝗿𝗻𝗮𝘁𝗶𝗼𝗻𝗮𝗹 𝗪𝗼𝗺𝗲𝗻’𝘀 𝗗𝗮𝘆 𝗳𝗿𝗼𝗺 RS2 💙 International Women’s Day is often framed as a conversation about representation. In financial services, however, the deeper challenge is architectural. For decades, many financial systems have been built around assumptions that don’t reflect the full diversity of modern financial lives. Linear income patterns, uninterrupted employment histories, and narrow data models have unintentionally created barriers-particularly for women whose careers and financial journeys may include entrepreneurship, career breaks, or variable income. To mark #IWD26, our Chief Product Officer, Ulrike Schäffter, shared her perspective with TalkFintech on building financial products with equality by design. Thank you to TalkFintech for publishing the piece and amplifying this conversation on International Women’s Day. Also, thank you to all the incredible women at RS2 for driving our success—together, beyond payments. 💙 #RS2 #InternationalWomensDay #IWD #WomenInFintech #WomenInPayments #Fintech #FinancialInclusion #ProductLeadership #TogetherBeyondPayments

Tokenised deposits are quickly moving from concept to reality in the banking industry. The recent news about the launch of the Cari Network by five US regional banks signals a meaningful step forward in the modernisation of bank-to-bank payments. By combining blockchain-based infrastructure with fully regulated, insured bank deposits, tokenised deposits offer the potential for greater speed, efficiency and programmability - without compromising trust or regulatory oversight. As interest accelerates, the focus is shifting from what’s possible to what it takes to scale. Our CEO Radi El Haj recently spoke with Crowdfund Insider and shared his perspective on why execution will be the real differentiator. Scaling tokenised deposits requires far more than tokenisation alone; it demands robust infrastructure, seamless integration with existing payment rails and true interoperability across networks. At RS2, we see payments innovation working best when it strengthens the banking ecosystem rather than attempting to bypass it. Modern, modular and cloud-native payment platforms will be critical in helping banks deploy new capabilities quickly, safely and at scale.

In his latest Payment Expert commentary, our CEO Radi El Haj examines why a proposed 10% cap on credit card APRs would mark a fundamental shift in card-issuing economics-particularly in the US, where interest income is critical to balancing credit risk, fraud losses, compliance costs, and financial inclusion. Radi highlights how such a cap could significantly compress issuer margins, restrict access to credit for underserved consumers, and place added pressure on fintech card programmes built on partner bank models. In some cases, it could slow innovation, delay new product launches, or discourage banks from supporting emerging fintechs altogether. As he notes, without a holistic view of the payments and credit ecosystem, well-intentioned regulation risks unintended consequences - from reduced credit availability to higher upfront costs for consumers. 🔗 Read the full commentary here: https://lnkd.in/ej2uy64V #RS2 #Fintech #Payments #CreditCards
