One of the best tips I learned from investment banking was to put gibberish in the 'To:' line of every email to avoid sending it accidentally. To this day, I automatically put "hfkjsdh", write, reread, delete "hfkjsdh", reread again, then send. Anyone else do this? Am I a robot?

Payments data often comes into an organization from different partners (banks, PSPs, ERPs, etc.) and then lives across multiple systems. Rarely do those systems talk to each other cleanly or automatically - it is shocking how often data of this kind sits in excel spreadsheets.
