support international / non-US accounts

chadwhitacre commented 12 years ago

Right now Balanced only supports merchant accounts for US entities. There's a whole world out there. Obviously a big undertaking, but definitely of huge value to Balanced customers.

Looks like Payoneer is legit:

I see oDesk, Elance, Rent-a-Coder, Veer, etc.

weblance2 commented 11 years ago

Yes it is legit. I thought it was great until I found out allot of countries like India made it illegal. Check their country list to see if it works for you.

I might be wrong but some marketplaces have since dropped this service.

+1 UK.

I run web forums in which we offer classifieds, and have hundreds of sellers and buyers. Most of these sites are in the UK, and I'd love to offer them a better framework for payments than what I currently offer (nothing whatsoever).

@jkwade Just had a convo w/ www.trans-pay.com (wholesale branch of www.transfast.com). They're next-day in local currency in 90+ countries. Definitely worth talking to. I can proceed with them or Payoneer directly but would much prefer to run it all through Balanced.

weblance2 commented 11 years ago

@jkwade I agree with whit537 as they offer a unique LFT solution that is fast and cheap. I am in the process of setting up with transfast. So far so good. We got hit by the holidays so there is a bit of delay in getting set up. The set up requirements are pretty straight forward and dealing with them is 1000% better than most financial service companies. They are flexible and easy to deal with, i.e. not bureaucratic. I reviewed the transfast API and it looks to be solid too.

I run http://illustrato.rs, a UK-based marketplace, and I'm desperate for a good, affordable payment system designed for marketplaces. I'll sign up the instant you announce EU support.

This is newly interesting to Gittip again, as we've been rejected by Payoneer.

I'd be interested in being part of any trial you have in UK/EU.

Need to figure out a way to send payments to non-US customers. If not ACH, maybe check or something else temporarily? Check out Xoom.com - that might be a worthwhile integration (they just went public on Nasdaq)
