Pavel Skalin

Founder & CEO, Align, and the author of Align's guides, account pages and conversion pages: 78 pages on getting paid across borders, paying suppliers, payment rails, stablecoins and the rules around them.

Latest update: 2 November 2026

How the guides are written

  • Sourced. Every figure and rule links to its primary source: the central bank, the scheme rulebook, the regulator or the provider's own terms.
  • Dated. Each page shows when it was last updated, and provider facts say when they were read.
  • Rechecked. Pages with a deadline or a scheduled rule change carry a review date, and the build flags any page whose date has passed.
  • Fair to competitors. Comparisons say when another provider is the better fit, from its own published terms.
