Excellence in Onboarding: Why Cross-Team Collaboration Matters
By Lisa Navarro, Head of Enterprise Operations at Paysend
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.
Beyond Compliance — Towards Partnership
Our onboarding process goes beyond ticking boxes - it’s designed to ensure every partner is fully verified, compliant, and ready to scale with us.
That means our Onboarding team works together with Sales and Compliance from the very start. While Sales focuses on understanding the client’s needs and structuring the right solution — whether it’s our cross-border API, Instant Settlement Account, or Embed solution — the Onboarding team ensures that all Know Your Business (KYB) requirements are met in full, while maintaining a smooth and transparent journey.
Excellence Through Communication
In B2B, information flow is everything. At Paysend Enterprise, we’ve built cross-functional routines and feedback loops that keep Operations, Compliance, and Sales aligned — ensuring we anticipate issues before they arise, align on expectations, and keep clients informed at every step. It’s something I champion every day.
Continuous Improvement as a Mindset
Our goal is not only to meet best practice but to define it. Every client we onboard adds to our collective experience — helping us refine our processes, expand our due diligence playbooks, introduce smarter automation, and raise the bar for what “excellent onboarding” looks like in global payments.
The Result: A Trusted Foundation for Growth
The result is more than an onboarding process — we create a foundation for growth. That foundation allows our clients to access over 100 corridors and 80+ currencies, knowing their operations are underpinned by the same standards of trust and diligence that define Paysend Enterprise.
Because for me and my team, onboarding isn’t about paperwork. It’s about setting the stage for success — together.

Not long ago, sending money abroad meant standing in line, filling out forms, and hoping your recipient could collect the cash before the office closed. For decades, this may have been the reality of traditional money transfers: long waits, limited hours, and high fees.
Today, digital-first services like Paysend may have changed that story completely. Money now moves in real-time*, anytime and around the world. This evolution isn’t just about technology; it’s about breaking barriers and addressing the main pain points in cross-border money transfer.
*We’ll send your money in real-time, but it could take up to 3 business days depending on your recipient’s bank processing time.
Sending money to Turkey involves more than simply choosing the lowest fee or the most attractive exchange rate. With fluctuations in the Turkish lira (TRY), strict banking requirements such as IBAN accuracy, and different payout preferences across recipients, an option that may work well for some senders is one that focuses on consistent delivery and transparency, depending on the provider, payout method, and local conditions.
For many senders, especially those supporting family or managing regular payments, the key is balancing speed, currency choice, and payout method. During periods such as Ramadan or Kurban Bayramı, when bank processing may slow down, these decisions become even more important.
