Could you build this?

No Cross-border banking services require institutional banking partnerships, money transmitter licensing, strict KYC/AML compliance frameworks, and payment rail integrations that cannot be built through vibe coding alone.

What it would actually take: The system acts as a BaaS frontend integrated with partners like Bridge (Stripe) and Lead Bank. It requires compliant ledger systems, webhook handlers for ACH/SEPA processing, on-chain crypto ramp logic, and extensive legal/compliance staffing for FinCEN and international banking regulations.

Discussion
