The email that was sent from stripe

We're getting in touch because you asked to be notified when Stripe was available in Ireland. Good news: we are up and running in private beta, and we're excited to invite you to take part.

As of today, you can accept Visa and MasterCard transactions. You can choose to accept payments denominated in euros, with American Express and US dollar denominated transactions coming soon. All our standard docs and features apply -- jump in at https://stripe.com/docs.*

They just launched in the UK, too. I integrated them in about 2 hours and took a setup fee payment (£1,200) with zero hassle within hours of getting the beta email.

Awesome stuff. Best payment provider integration experience I've ever had (and I've had a few).

? I thought they were still in beta in the UK, and their front page still offers only United States and Canada as options.

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.

Did you try out Recurly? I'm curious to see a comparison (on the zero hassle part especially).

Agreed, this is a massive pain - I'd love to start using them but I need to bill in USD, and getting a US bank account from the UK is a big unknown.

I spoke to them at their hack day in London at the beginning of April, and they said they expected to solve this in 1-3 months. So hopefully within the next 6 weeks if we're optimistic!

I got my invite last week and integrated it over the weekend, but I need to hold off until I can accept USD.

According to John at Stripe "Unfortunately, right now you'd need a US-routable dollar account to accept payments in USD. We're planning on having better native support for charging USD in the future, but have no timeline on it right now."

I'm planning on opening a US bank account when I'm in SF in August, if anyone knows how I can do that from Ireland instead let me know.
