LiquidTrust

B2B marketplaces run on trust – but payments are where that trust often breaks down. That’s why B2Brazil is launching B2BSafePay™, powered by LiquidTrust’s Micro Escrow® technology. This is a big step forward for SMB trade: ◾ Payments are held securely until conditions are met ◾ Buyers are protected from non-delivery ◾ Sellers gain confidence in getting paid ◾ Disputes are handled with a clear, structured process For SMBs—who often lack access to tools like letters of credit – this changes the game. Instead of taking on all the risk, they can now transact globally with built-in protection. Even better, this is available within the marketplace experience, giving users seamless access to secure payments when they need it. Trust isn’t just a feature. It’s the foundation of growth in B2B commerce. Excited to partner with B2Brazil to bring this to 300,000+ companies worldwide 🌍 Link to the announcement in the comments 👇 #B2BPayments #Marketplaces #MicroEscrow

When we published our 2026 Best Banks for U.S. SMBs ranking, the first question was: How did you evaluate them? We used an online-first lens — what an SMB can realistically see, compare, and understand online before a banker call or relationship pricing. We scored five pillars: • Digital onboarding + account access • Pricing & account transparency • Payments + cash-management visibility • Cross-border + FX availability • Access to business credit This isn’t “winners and losers.” It’s a fit guide for how banks show up during the research phase — when shortlists are made.

At Women in Payments, the Unicorn Challenge once again proved something important: The future of payments is being built by bold, resilient founders. 🚀 Huge congratulations to this year’s winners: 🏆 Ayelet Biger-Levin, CEO of RangersAI — Audience Choice Award 🏆 Catherine Palmieri, CEO of Qubi — Judges’ Award Both delivered compelling live pitches that showcased not just innovative products, but clarity of vision, strong execution, and the kind of leadership our industry needs right now. The Unicorn Challenge isn’t just a pitch competition. It’s a platform that elevates female founders building the next generation of financial infrastructure. As fintech continues to evolve, diverse leadership isn’t a “nice to have” — it’s a competitive advantage for the entire ecosystem. A special thank you to moderator Sarah Billings (PNC) and Saujin’s co-judges Kristen Castell (Center for Accelerating Financial Equity), Helen Colosimo (Merrick Bank), for pushing the conversation forward with thoughtful questions and sharp insights. Innovation in payments requires courage, conviction, and community support. This year’s winners embodied all three. The future of payments is bright — and it’s being shaped by leaders like these. #WomenInPayments #Fintech #WomenFounders

LiquidTrust closed 2025 with real momentum — and we’re carrying it into 2026. Global trade is shifting fast. Tariffs. Supplier diversification. Geopolitical uncertainty. In this environment, trust can’t be an afterthought. It has to be built into the transaction itself. Last year, we turned that belief into measurable progress: • Raised a $4M seed round to accelerate growth • Selected J.P. Morgan as our primary operating bank, expanding support across 200+ countries • Scaled adoption across banks, marketplaces, and B2B platforms • Entered autonomous cross-border trade use cases with Authentica • Earned recognition from Women in Payments, Datos Insights, and PayTech Awards USA The principle remains simple: funds should only move when conditions are met. That’s exactly what Micro Escrow™ enables — programmable trust embedded directly into B2B payments. Proud of the team. Grateful to our partners. Focused on what’s next.

We’re honored to be featured in the Q1 2026 Commercial Banking & Payments Fintech Spotlight by Datos Insights. The recognition highlights something we strongly believe: Trust must be embedded — not bolted on. LiquidTrust was recognized for embedding Micro Escrow™ directly into global B2B payment flows, protecting SMBs in cross-border transactions without complex contracts or manual escrow processes. In commercial banking today: • Fraud risk is rising • Cross-border exposure is expanding • SMBs lack enterprise-grade protections The solution isn’t more paperwork. It’s programmable trust. We’re excited to see structural, transaction-level protection becoming a core part of modern banking infrastructure.

In 2026, B2B marketplaces won’t win on pricing or features alone. They’ll win on trust infrastructure. The platforms pulling ahead are engineering trust directly into the payment flow: – Conditional payments instead of blind releases – Verified onboarding before value is at risk – Real-time operator visibility when exceptions happen This isn’t about compliance theater. It’s about higher conversion, larger transactions, and faster resolution when things go wrong. We broke down why trust mechanics become a growth engine in 2026, what actually changes, and where marketplaces should start this quarter.

This season, we’re grateful for the builders who make marketplaces safer—day by day, flow by flow. Conditionality, clear approvals, evidence at every step… it all adds up to trust that users can feel. ✨ Here’s to more secure, trusted transactions in the year ahead.

Before you close the books on 2025, run a marketplace risk review. Disputes, reversals, onboarding gaps, recon debt, and visibility issues all tend to pile up by year‑end. We pulled together a concise synthesis of what quietly accumulated in 2025—plus a quick diagnostic and a checklist you can use to de‑risk 2026 planning. 🔐 If you’re a founder or ops leader, this is a fast way to pressure‑test your payment flows, exception handling, and operator tooling—then turn fixes into a 2026 plan.

Compliance in marketplaces isn’t paperwork—it’s architecture. When a platform moves money between third parties, the rules change: who can hold funds, what verification is required, and how evidence must be captured. The right design keeps you out of unlicensed custody, reduces dispute exposure, and speeds go‑live. We break down the practical stack—KYB/KYC that fits SMB reality, AML + sanctions that run continuously, event logs that rebuild timelines, and conditional release (licensed custody) so funds move only when milestones are met. If “marketplace compliance explained” is on your roadmap, this guide lays out what to build, in what order. Link to the announcement in the comments 👇 #MarketplaceCompliance #B2BPayments #Risk

Onboarding isn’t paperwork—it’s your GMV on-ramp. If your marketplace “first mile” is clunky, you lose supply, create dispute risk, and depress conversion before the first payment. The fix isn’t more forms—it’s progressive verification, pre‑trade protections, and clear status so qualified users go live faster. When SMBs already fear failed or late payments, a confusing start is all the reason they need to churn. Treat onboarding like a product, not a PDF. We wrote a practical checklist for diagnosing “marketplace onboarding problems” and turning the first mile into a growth engine.
