Can’t Kickstarter just find another payment processor?
America has a monopoly on payment processing worldwide. EU needs to step up their game
Hahahahaha no
Even when you start dogging into non America processors they still use the visa/mastercard network more often then naught to some degree and are held to their rules.
You have to stick to very small processors that rarerly ever actually do anything across their own countries borders. Making them literally less then useless for a company like kickstarter.
Large scale international processors basically don't exist in a fashion thats useable.
