Why being a PSP changes the game

As the PSP, conomy_hq receives all merchant funds first from acquirers. That means the collateral, the receivables is already in our custody. When a shortfall arises, we automatically offset from the next settlements. No chasing, no court orders.

Advance limits

We cap daily advances to ≤ the merchant’s 3‑month average daily sales. If sales slow, caps tighten automatically, reducing exposure in lockstep with revenue.

Allocation limits

No merchant ever exceeds 5% of total pool exposure. This diversification rule keeps idiosyncratic events from impacting the pool.

KYB risk analysis

Onboarding includes industry tiering, historical sales volatility, chargeback/refund behavior, and seasonality. We assign risk grades that map to advance rates, caps, and monitoring intensity.

Reserve capital

We hold 10% of the total pool in immediate-liquidity reserve. This buffers redemptions, absorbs short timing mismatches, and lets us pause advances in stress without impairing withdrawals.

FX controls

While advances/repayments traverse USDC↔CLP, we manage FX via tight conversion SLAs, posted applied rates, and Phase‑2 USD/CLP oracle + disclosed off‑chain forwards; Phase‑3 explores on‑chain hedging. Short duration (T+2) further limits FX drift between advance and repayment.

Why caps follow sales

With receivables as collateral and PSP-first custody, tying advances to realized sales keeps debt self-liquidating and in step with the merchant’s actual cash generation.
