ING subsidiary Payvision was a super-aggressive high-risk payment processor that did not shy away from facilitating cybercrime activities until it was shut down in October 2021. Founded by Rudolf Booker in Amsterdam, the FinTech has worked with Donald Kasdon's high-risk processor, T1 Payments, in the United States. Payvision and T1 Payments worked out a system that allowed Payvision to hide behind Donald Kasdon's group of companies. In the U.S., former customers (merchants) brought fraud lawsuits. Let's unfold the story!
It's court season again for Payvision and its former U.S. partner T1 Payments. While a fraud complaining has been brought in the U.S. by a former client against the T1 Payments group and its alleged successor company, the FCA-regulated e-Money Institution Pixxles Ltd, for alleged illegal activities, the European Fund Recovery Initiative (EFRI) has filed a lawsuit against Payvision for its scam-facilitating activities in Austria. T1 Payments is trying to dodge the U.S. lawsuit by preventing being served in the UK. Here's an update.
There is no end to the drama surrounding the disgraced Dutch FinTech and high-risk payment processor Payvision.

In addition to criminal investigations and victims' claims, there are also lawsuits in the U.S. filed against Payvision and its spin-off Cetler. They allegedly were working in collusion with the T1 Payments group. Here's the story.
