Real-World Example

Here's how this works in practice:

Traditional FinTech Outreach:

Hi [Name],

Our platform can help you process transactions faster while reducing costs.

Compliance-First FinTech Outreach:

Hi Sarah,

I noticed your recent expansion into EU markets and thought you might be interested in how other FinTechs are handling the intersection of PSD2 compliance and GDPR requirements.

We've helped three payment providers maintain compliance while scaling across Europe. One interesting pattern: successful companies tackle data residency requirements before transaction optimization.

Would you be interested in seeing how they reduced compliance validation time by 60% while maintaining full regulatory alignment?

Best,
