Payment Compliance Position
Dream OS should build payment compliance around partner-controlled financial rails. That means using approved processors and banks for underwriting, settlement, card acceptance, ACH, payout rails, disputes, and required regulatory controls while Dream OS maintains operational policies, logs, routing controls, and user-facing disclosures.
Compliance Areas
| Area | Dream OS Control | Partner Control |
|---|---|---|
| PCI/Card Data | Use hosted checkout and avoid raw card storage. | Card data security, tokenization, network rules. |
| KYB | Collect profile data, track verification status, flag risk. | Underwriting, sanctions checks, beneficial owner review. |
| AML/Fraud | Monitor platform behavior, rewards, suspicious activity. | Regulated reporting and transaction monitoring where applicable. |
| Disputes | Show status, collect support evidence. | Chargeback and network process. |
| Refunds | Merchant dashboard and recordkeeping. | Actual refund execution through processor. |
| Payouts | Eligibility, approval, fraud review. | Payout rails, tax controls, identity checks. |
