Building Better Together: How Collaboration Shapes Product Innovation at Paysend Enterprise
By Richard Armstrong, Head of Enterprise Product at Paysend
In global payments, innovation is never static. New technologies, shifting regulations, and evolving customer expectations continuously reshape what “great” looks like. At Paysend Enterprise, our role in Product is to stay ahead of that curve, to design solutions that not only meet today’s needs but anticipate tomorrow’s challenges.
But great products don’t come from a single source of inspiration. They come from listening, learning, and working together. Collaboration isn’t just how we build, it’s why our products work effectively and meet the needs of our clients.
Listening to Clients — Insight Through Partnership
Every product journey begins with understanding the problem we’re solving. That understanding comes from our Sales teams, who are closest to the client, and from the clients themselves, who trust us to move their businesses forward.
By engaging early and often, our Product team gains invaluable insight on how businesses use our solutions, where they face friction, and what success looks like in their world.
This direct feedback ensures that every feature we design, whether in our API suite, Instant Settlement Account, or Embed solution, has a clear purpose and measurable value. We’re not guessing at what the market needs; we’re co-creating it with our partners.
Learning from the Market — Staying Ahead of Change
Payments never stand still. Regulatory shifts, emerging technologies, and new competitive models are constantly redefining what’s possible. Our Product team actively monitors these trends, collaborating with Compliance, Operations, and Engineering to understand their impact on our solutions and identify future opportunities.
By maintaining an external lens across global markets, corridors, and industry forums we ensure that our roadmap is informed by insight, not assumption. This knowledge allows us to innovate responsibly: balancing creativity with compliance, and speed with security.
The result is a product suite that’s both forward-thinking and reliable: capable of helping our clients access new markets while maintaining the highest standards of trust and security.
Cross-Functional Partnership — Turning Vision into Value
Innovation at Paysend doesn’t happen in isolation. From concept to launch, Product works hand-in-hand with every department. Engineering brings technical excellence; Operations and Implementation ensure scalability; Compliance safeguards integrity; and Marketing and Sales help bring our solutions to market with clarity and confidence.
This collaborative approach ensures that every product we release is not only functional, but designed to deliver real value to our clients. Each department contributes a unique perspective, and it’s the combination of those perspectives that drives true innovation.
Our philosophy is simple: when every voice is heard, every solution gets stronger.
The Result — Innovation with Purpose
At Paysend Enterprise, we believe product excellence is a collective achievement. It’s the result of collaboration, shared vision, and a relentless focus on creating real-world impact.
By listening to our clients, learning from the market, and working across departments, we turn complex challenges into elegant, scalable solutions.
Because at the end of the day, the best products don’t just solve problems, they create value. And at Paysend, that’s what drives us forward: building better, together.

In the world of cross-border payments, onboarding isn’t just a procedural step — it’s the foundation of a successful partnership. At Paysend Enterprise, our clients trust us with their most valuable asset: their ability to move money globally, securely, and efficiently. For me, that trust starts with how I bring them into our ecosystem.
As Head of Enterprise Operations, I see every onboarding journey — which we’re proud to typically complete in an impressive 2 weeks — as an opportunity to set the tone for the relationship, where operational excellence and true collaboration come together. I take this part of the process personally, because it’s where operational excellence and true collaboration first come together.
