Lightning Compliance FAQs
Answers to the most common questions from CTOs and founders about integrating compliant Lightning payments.
For a standard Lightning merchant integration with KYC/AML, transaction monitoring, and reporting, deployment takes 2-4 weeks. This includes 1 week for initial setup and configuration, 1-2 weeks for integration and testing with your stack, and 1 week for final compliance checks and go-live. Complex multi-currency or high-volume (>10k tx/day) setups may extend this to 6-8 weeks.
