AI-enabled Cross-border Payments Product
Taking an AI-enabled cross-border payments proposition from idea through discovery, proof of concept and integrated MVP delivery.
- AI-enabled products
- MVP delivery
- API integration
Context
The transformation environment
SendGrow began as an early-stage proposition requiring the product, technology, integration and regulatory dimensions to be shaped together. Progress depended on converting an idea into a testable capability while maintaining a controlled route through partner payment and regulatory integration.
The challenge
What had to be resolved
The proposition needed to move from an initial idea into a clearly defined product and delivery direction.
Product discovery, AI-enabled capability, engineering and the cross-border payments journey had to develop as one coherent solution.
API integration with partner payment and regulatory organisations introduced external dependencies and control requirements.
The MVP needed to generate credible evidence for decisions about progression beyond the initial product stage.
The response
How the transformation was integrated
- 01
Shape the product proposition
Led the journey from idea into structured discovery, clarifying the customer problem, intended capability, delivery constraints and route to an MVP.
- 02
Test the critical assumptions
Used proof-of-concept delivery to test the proposition and create evidence before committing to the wider engineering path.
- 03
Integrate engineering and external partners
Coordinated product, engineering, testing and API integration with partner payment and regulatory organisations around one delivery direction.
- 04
Deliver and evaluate the MVP
Progressed the capability through engineering and testing into an integrated MVP, creating the basis for controlled evaluation and subsequent decisions.
Value created
What changed
Converted an early-stage proposition into an integrated and tested MVP.
Connected product discovery, AI-enabled capability, engineering and external API integration.
Established a controlled progression from proof of concept into MVP delivery.
Created delivery evidence to inform decisions beyond the initial product stage.
Leadership approach
Governance with direct intervention
Tayo led across proposition development, product discovery, engineering, testing and partner integration, maintaining alignment between the intended customer capability, technical delivery and the controls required within a cross-border payments environment.
