9.3 adds materialized views syntax and functionality directly into
PostgreSQL but you can "roll your own" in any version and that is what I
would suggest.

I would probably focus on getting a single reporting period to execute
performantly and just use a loop to build up the materialized view
period-by-period.

I don't know how you want to go about dealing with your payment channel
since it depends on whether a customer can make use of more than one and
whether their "new-ness" is impacted by such.

Incorporating other data is as simple as building the different pieces and
joining them together into a final output; usually through a series of
CTEs/WITH sub-queries.
