Payments would run through QR Platba, data would be handled under EU GDPR, and success would be measured on manual hours saved, error rate and customer response time.

Hosting and data residency for a lending & BNPL platform in the Czech Republic
For clients in the Czech Republic we usually host on Frankfurt, Ireland or another EU region to stay within GDPR transfer rules. The choice balances latency for local users, EU GDPR requirements on where personal data may be stored or transferred, and any sector rules your regulator sets. Backups and disaster-recovery copies follow the same residency decision.
