We need to have multiple options for vital services like payment.
We actually had the exact same situation here in Hong Kong with Braintree. They did not transfer the funds to our account and always blamed "banking partners" for the problems. The worst customer service I've dealt with and switching to Stripe as soon as it became available in Hong Kong was a no brainer.
Given you're in HK, interesting username (ManuAloha). Are you from HI? In any case, aloha from Kaua'i :)

The first thing they ask you when you open an account is how much volume you have.. There is no such thing as a "backup" payment gateway. The first few weeks of operation the "backup" gateway would suspend your account for not providing the necessary volume of sales.
True, you can't call them "backup" to their face. But you will trickle through traffic for weeks whilst you sort out teething troubles anyway, so there is not going to be volumes after a few weeks. Then eventually you can make a decision which works best. The new provider (the backup) or the old provider. Then turn the volume to the best one. Though I would never go 100% on any of them. Maybe keep some geoip through…
From my experience you end up being tied pretty hard to pretty one provider and as long as you make fraud prevention yourself you can stay in business. Problem is that if you do all the fraud prevention stuff yourself then why do you need braintree for? To just invoke a .charge(100, "EUR")??
The post rambles for a long time and slings some mud against braintree. Their claim is that they couldn't do a wire transfer from their merchant account to their business account. Looking on braintree's website they don't appear to support Serbia. https://www.braintreepayments.com/en-si/country-selection?re...

>a subsidiary of PayPal And for that reason, I direct my clients to go elsewhere.
What other payment processor would you suggest?
The comparison to soldiers killing people is pretty ridiculous.
As well as people in Chicago grilling steaks and going to ball games. In the winter? Now if he said something like "eating a lassanga soupy mixture that you call pizza" I would have been clapping.

I'm sorry...winter? It's almost April now, although of course the grilling steaks is still probably an overstatement
