FBO Accounts integration optimizes global payments and mitigates regulatory issues for retailer

e-Core • June 27, 2024

A major retailer recently implemented a system utilizing For Benefit Of (FBO) accounts to streamline their global payments and currency exchange processes. The FBO accounts, managed by third-party partners, act as intermediary holding accounts where the retailer deposits funds. These funds are then distributed to designated recipients as specified by the retailer.



The Challenge

The retailer faced significant regulatory challenges and operational inefficiencies due to direct handling of funds and complex international transactions. Managing compliance across various jurisdictions and ensuring timely payments was becoming increasingly difficult and resource-intensive.


The Solution

The project involved building a robust integration between the retailer’s system and the third-party FBO account providers. This setup ensures that the retailer does not directly hold the funds, thus mitigating regulatory risks and enhancing compliance. The integration allows for seamless, large-scale transactions, improving operational efficiency and providing a more mature process for handling third-party payments.


Results

  • Successfully enhanced global payment infrastructure
  • Ensured compliance
  • Reduced potential regulatory issues

A strategic approach to modernizing code At e-Core, we often partner with organizations whose software technically “works” in production, but just barely. Over time, shifting teams, competing priorities, and tight deadlines lead to codebases that are fragile, expensive to maintain, and risky to enhance. In this context, software refactoring becomes more than a technical task. It’s a business strategy that preserves continuity while unlocking future growth. Defining refactoring: Evolution without disruption Software refactoring is the disciplined restructuring of existing code, improving readability, modularity, and performance, without altering its external behavior. Unlike a full rewrite, refactoring delivers incremental value by: Accelerating feature delivery through cleaner, more modular code. Reducing operational risk by eliminating brittleness and regressions. Lowering total cost of ownership by making enhancements less labor-intensive. Why refactoring matters for business  Healthy codebases have a direct business impact: Faster Time-to-Market: Modular components support parallel development and faster releases. Greater resilience: Decoupled services isolate failures and simplify maintenance. Easier onboarding: Clear architecture and design patterns help new developers ramp up quickly. Sustainable cost savings: Less firefighting, fewer regressions, and lower maintenance overhead. What may look like a simple “cleanup” is often the first step toward digital reinvention. Refactoring techniques In enterprise environments built on Java, C#, or Python, we apply proven object-oriented refactoring techniques to increase cohesion and extensibility: Class decoupling: Split monolithic classes into focused, single-responsibility components. SOLID principles: Apply interface segregation and dependency inversion to stabilize architecture. Composition over inheritance: Build flexible, interchangeable structures. Testability enhancements : Isolate side effects and inject dependencies for better test coverage. These techniques form the foundation of our incremental software refactoring roadmaps. Beyond OO: Choosing the right tools for each paradigm Modern languages blend programming paradigms. We help clients apply the right tools to the right problems: Functional patterns in Python to create concise, side-effect-free data pipelines. Kotlin/Scala hybrids that combine OO structure with expressive functional constructs. C# LINQ and Async for declarative data queries and scalable concurrency. This multi-paradigm approach ensures that systems remain robust, flexible, and expressive. A refactoring story: From debt to differentiation Case Study: Regional logistics provider
