| Who holds the licence and the rail | Straventa is not a licensed acquirer and has no MDR of its own to sell. The licence, the settlement account, and the rail relationship stay with your bank or PJP partner; Straventa builds and runs the layer above them. | Holds its own payment-service-provider licence and the rail relationships.

| Fraud, AML, and reconciliation | The same product, on the same record: every authorisation is handed synchronously to FDS for explainable rule scoring, asynchronously to AML for transaction monitoring, then into the Reconciliation Engine. No extra integration. | Gateway-side fraud screening on its own traffic, plus settlement reports. PPATK typology monitoring and multi-source reconciliation are yours to buy or build. | Gateway-side fraud controls and a dashboard. AML case management and reconciliation across sources it does not process are separate problems. | Gateway risk controls and settlement reporting; compliance tooling is a separate purchase. | Gateway risk controls and settlement reporting; compliance tooling is a separate purchase. |

| What happens as volume grows | On-premise is licensed per deployment — the licence does not track transaction count. On the managed plane, per-transaction pricing applies like anyone else's. | Cost scales with every transaction, permanently. | Cost scales with every transaction, permanently. | Cost scales with every transaction, permanently. | Cost scales with every transaction, permanently. |

| Honest limits | No payment licence of its own, no MDR advantage to offer, and billing is not switched on — every price is directional. Issuing, Card Vault, Open Banking, Disputes, and Disbursement are roadmap, not shipped. | You cannot run it in your own data centre, and you cannot change how it screens or reconciles. | You cannot run it in your own data centre, and the risk rules are the vendor's, not yours. | You cannot run it in your own data centre. | You cannot run it in your own data centre. |
