Well, I'm sorry to say, you don't look safer. The URL changes from knoxpayments to paidez which looks super fraud-y! And you're not using good SSL certs. You do realize that you are requesting bank account logins from all your users? I couldn't find any information on your web site to help me determine if I should give you my online banking credentials.

I agree, we've done a pretty bad job of explaining and presenting ourselves thus far. I'm not making any excuses, but we spent the last year building, speeding up, and securing the engine that handles the connections to bank accounts and the system to process and guarantee "good funds" ACH payments. We had an opportunity to go to Launch 2014, and even though the front end presentation of everything to the user was, i…

How do your payments work? ACH or something else? Do you explain it anywhere?

It's ACH - there are some FAQS on knoxpayments.com/about.html

(I work at Stripe, based in the UK.) Our pricing in EU countries where we've launched (UK + Ireland) starts at 2.4% + 20p (we've revised pricing for each country when we launch out of beta). We regularly give volume pricing well below 1.8% - so at both ends, considerably cheaper than the range quoted above. Also, which country are you in? Stripe is available in full production-ready beta in France, Germany, Spain, Lu…

I'm in Denmark. Any idea as to when Stripe is coming to Denmark? Will merchants be instantly approved, or does it take several days/weeks?

Soon! Want to drop me an email? ay@stripe.com

You wouldn't lose customer data if you left Braintree: https://www.braintreepayments.com/landing/data-portability-p...

What are some examples of qualified providers that will accept this type of data?

Balanced will and has.

Wow! Thank you for sharing your startup. I see what you're doing and it's really a brilliant idea - it would work very well for payment funnels where consumers trust the brand. I don't see any developer documentation though - is this intentional, or did I miss the link somewhere?

Is that intentional - heck no! It's a massive and glaring omission in our offering! No but seriously, I'm banging away at documentation right now - the problem is it wasn't clear what exactly we needed to document until we launched and got the deluge of customer feedback that we've now gotten. It's now become clear that we're missing some critical features (for a lot of people) and that's it's not clear how to integr…

so who does the fraud detection? knoxpayments?

We do fraud detection on top of the fraud detection your bank AND the US banking system already do.
