"Connect your bank account to Wirize in just a few clicks (2-minute flow via Stripe)."
This reads to me like it's based on Stripe. And in that case, I don't think it's incorrect to call it "Stripe Checkout." However, I would like this called out at the top of the linked page.

#23Cool! I found the bank Azlo through Stripe Atlas's new LLC system, and it looks like they support invoices with Stripe payments just like this for freelancers.

I hate this stuff. Either make it free or let me pay you for it.
What sucks is switching over to it because you think it's saving money, then having them change the fee structure and you have to switch back.

Do German credit cards not have cashback programs? When every transaction I make gives me back 1-6%, that adds up significantly over time. It's essentially subtracting tax off of groceries and gas for me.
No cashbacks in Western Europe as far as I am aware. How do feel about shafting all your suppliers? Because that is about the sentiment here.
This is wrong, there are cash back cards in the UK, for example. American express operates over here:

For the grandparent, cash back cards work by charging a higher percentage to the retailer and they haven't seen much traction or support in many European countries. Effectively in the long term they simply raise prices and give a greater cut to the card processor, theoretically they're overall a bad thing for consumers.

#26Something like this will never work in Germany. 99% of business transactions are done via a simple SEPA transfer, which doesn't incur any fees.
Do you have figures to back up this claim? I understand for regular procurement the importance of cost saving. But in product development paying everything with bank transfers rather than with corporate cards sounds like a ballache.
Come on.

If it uses Stripe Elements for this (the v3 api), there is support for a SEPA dialog in there.

Does the LLC version of Atlas give you an account with Azlo instead of SVB?

I really wish they would pass a law in North America allowing merchants to charge percentages based on card used.
Credit cards have some great features:
* buyer protection in case of fraud * delayed payment helps buyer cashflow * instant payment for merchant * no overhead fees compared to handling cash
But, the extra percentage added for cashback is pure externality.
Right now merchants' only option is declining a card type entirely, like some do for AMEX.
Europe's economy is effectively saving perhaps 2% over North America's. I'm assuming here that 0.7% is the useful part credit cards do.
