My First Post: I Built a Payment Template—Now Reality Check Me on KYC

Okay, real talk: I built a payment platform template that pretends KYC doesn’t exist.

It’s called NoVerif (because naming things is hard), and it’s for devs who want to prototype fast—not break financial laws.

What’s Inside?

  • Email/password auth (Firebase)
  • Virtual bank account cosplay (ACH approval flow)
  • Crypto wallet connections (for that ~degen~ vibe)
  • Invoice generation + admin dashboard

Tech stack: Next.js, Firebase, Tailwind—zero surprises.

Why This Exists

I wanted to mock a payment system in hours, not months. But let’s be clear:

  • 🚨 Real payments need KYC, compliance, lawyers, etc.
  • 🚨 This is a TEMPLATE for demos/hackathons (or your startup’s first PowerPoint).

Who’s This For?

  • You, iterating on a fintech idea before bringing in the compliance squad
  • You, teaching web dev and need a realistic (but legal) payments demo
  • You, ignoring my warnings (please don’t)

Hot take: Prototyping ≠ production. What’s the fastest way you’ve hacked around compliance? (Or am I the only one cutting corners? 😬)

Love how you emphasized that prototyping is totally different from production—KYC is a must for real launches!
