Won't work. It's easy to get a USD bank with Barclays or other UK banks, but Stripe are still adding this 1% fee to pay out $USD wherever it goes.

In the UK at least, you can get Paypal to add a US domiciled bank account (on ACH) and pay out that way to avoid this problem; we had to go via support to get that setup. We alread…

HSBC will do it for UK customers.

Not sure yet. Was hoping to see some discussion on pros/cons :)

Great to see 16GB RAM in Surface Book. Disappointing they've not embraced USB C/3.1

What I'm excited about here is monitor hubs. You plug your monitor into a power socket, and peripherals into the monitor's USB ports. You arrive at work, and only need to plug your…

Haha, I had the exact same experience. Although I'm not sure the dice cricket game I also wrote in maths class counted :)

if my memory is correct this is because they don't have access to $password; they get md5($password) from the client and to store that in the database with a salt need to run md5()…

Check out EE roaming; it's competitive with Vodafone (one of the reasons I moved to them). £5/month for unlimited roaming minutes/texts in EU, US and others. Data is reasonable val…

Not really; they only send USD via ACH currently (don't support wire transfer) so as a UK merchant there is no way to actually get paid $USD even if you have a $USD bank account.

Nice calculator; but it misses the currency conversion costs. You can't get $9.46 as a UK merchant - you get paid in £GBP and they add another 2% from mid-market rate - so $9.27 wo…

You don't happen to have a contact there do you? Can't find much online about it. So long I don't have to move other accounts that would work fine.

Do you know of any UK bank that will provide a US-routable USD bank account?

We'd love to move to Stripe; the one issue is that you can't send us $USD to our UK based $USD account via a wire transfer (like Amex does for example). Instead, it seems the only …

Not quite; they add another 2% fee to convert to £GBP unfortunately.

Breeze got closed down: http://f.cl.ly/items/3i0L021e3M252a022a0p/Screen%20Shot%2020... A one off price for a SaaS product feels a bit like the software version of a ponzi scheme.

Why are ATMs not 100% flat with 3 holes - for a keypad, note delivery and a hole for the bank card to go in. A skimming device can then not be added without making it very obvious …

Personally I want them to send $USD to a UK bank in $US. I set one of these up with barclays; it was trivial and low fees. Can then use transferwise to get $USD into £GBP and avoid…

I want to use them; but they can't take $US without a US bank account (we have a $US UK based bank account) or do Amex yet. Hopefully soon.
