Compare Payments tests whether “payment processors” in payment processors lets a risk analyst leave with a usable archive on 2026-08-24. Offers: Stone, PagSeguro, Stripe. Focus: payment processors. Annual is blocked until export works without a retained login.
Who can press export without the billing owner
Run chargeback on Stone: read window and fee in the contract. If only the original cardholder can download, payment processors fails when that person leaves. Clock 34h in Spokane.
Run payout timing on PagSeguro: time a test payout. If only the original cardholder can download, payment processors fails when that person leaves. Clock 34h in Spokane.
Run real MDR on Stripe: simulate average ticket × monthly volume. If only the original cardholder can download, payment processors fails when that person leaves. Clock 34h in Spokane.

Stone fails without a downloadable archive. PagSeguro fails if payment processors needs the old login. Stripe is the control: if its export opened offline, do not excuse the others.
Fails that kill compare-payments-export-2026-08-24
- Paying Stone annual with no export button
- Accepting a screenshot as the PagSeguro archive
- Skipping payment processors because Stripe emailed a CSV later
- Closing before the file opens on a second device
Go / no-go 2026-08-24
