> PayPal isn’t a bank They are: https://www.quora.com/How-can-PayPal-function-without-a-bank... In the EU you either work with a bank or you need to be a bank to do what Paypal does. In the US not (yet).
In the US, are PayPal registered as a bank in the same way Wells Fargo are?
In EU they are. Dunno about the states. In the beginning they were not, that I know. But by now... I heard that even Google and Apple were interested in becoming banks (not sure if they followed up on that).

Last thing, small pet-peeve…

Could you please give some specific feedback on the UX for customer portal and signout flow? We can setup a 15 min zoom call with you to understand your challenges. I will reach out to you via email if that's OK with you.

Please clarify whether Chargebee supports custom hybrid plans (e.g., Per Seat + Usage models in Stripe terminology, which, correspondingly, would approximately be equal to a combination of Per Unit + Volume + Tiered models [1]).
