Here’s a quick comparison:

* Open Loop: Web is open loop. We expect Web to act as a bridge between both open and closed loops.
JH> as web technology is increasingly found in enterprise environments, I'd say our solution is neutral to that, but definitely supports open and closed loops as well
* Immediate funds transfer. I think our expectation is to impose no time delays by virtue of our architecture. Any
  delays will be inherent to the underlying systems.
 * Push payments: We are enabling both push and pull payments within the system.
 * Same-day Settlement: Our expectations is to impose no time delays by virtue of our architecture
 * Open international standards: Yes!
 * Irrevocability: That seems to be a property that we would not enforce directly through our architecture but
   would depend on an underlying system.
JH> again, this is one facet which we definitely won't want to be a hindrance for. Whether this is so or not depends on the business model and regulation. I'd welcome a lot of variety here...
 * Shared fraud service: Same
 * Tiered KYC: Same
JH> KYC is an identity issue which usually plays a role in enrolment, at times it night go alongside with a transaction. That's why I'd hold hopes in a credential-based approach to both (in as far as people are involved at least)
