LiquidTrust Launches the Transaction Risk Map, Identifying the Three Phases Where B2B Transactions Break
New Public Framework Gives Banks and Marketplaces a Shared Language for the Exposure Already Hitting Their P&L
LiquidTrust™, a B2B payments solutions provider that partners with banks, platforms, and marketplaces to protect business transactions, today released the Transaction Risk Map, a publicly available framework and infographic that identifies the three phases where B2B transactions are most likely to fail.
Tariff shifts and supply chain disruptions have pushed banks and marketplace platforms into unfamiliar territory. These players are now facilitating transactions between parties with no shared history, under timelines that leave no room for due diligence. The cost of that exposure is already being felt in rising disputes, fraud, and the increasing manual-resolution burden that is consuming operations teams. The liability sits squarely with the intermediaries, accounted for or not.
The Transaction Risk Map is designed to make the risk concrete and actionable. Banks can use it in client conversations to show where deals break. Marketplace operators can use it to assess where their transaction flows leave users, and themselves, exposed. For banks and marketplaces, it is also a business development tool, a way to walk into prospect conversations with a clear view of the risks their clients already face. The Map identifies three phases where risk concentrates:
Counterparty Risk — Before money moves, can you trust the counterparty? Identity unverified, fraud exposure, chargeback liability, KYC/AML gaps.
Payment Risk — While money moves, who bears the risk mid-transaction? Payment-delivery mismatch, premature fund release, regulatory misclassification, cross-border compliance risk.
Resolution Risk — After money moves, what happens when it breaks? Dispute liability, no dispute process, missing audit trail, reputational exposure.
LiquidTrust built its payment infrastructure around each of these phases. Banks and marketplaces can learn more at www.liquidtrust.io.
“Most platforms and financial institutions know the risk is there. The National Foreign Trade Council reports that more than 50% of companies have already rerouted shipments or changed suppliers due to tariff complications. Every one of those rerouted relationships is a new counterparty, and most of the platforms facilitating those transactions were not built to absorb that kind of risk. The Transaction Risk Map gives banks and marketplaces a way to see the exposure they're already carrying, not as a compliance checklist, but as a P&L conversation.”
