Ask YC: Accepting Credit Cards as a Bahamian company

Build an entirely owned subsidiary in a respectable place, the UK for example. And funnel the transactions through it.

Had the same problem in a startup I built 5 years ago that was based in Costa Rica.

The entire process should take no more than a couple of days.

I'm fairly sure this is illegal in the UK. Can anyone confirm this?

So long as the parent company is not doing anything that is illegal under UK law, it is totally legal as far as I know or at least it was 5 years ago. What part of it do you think might be illegal?

But then again, I am not a lawyer so please confirm with your legal staff.

We really need an Ask rms section :)

He may know about this from his business experience.

Have you looked at PayPal?

PayPal doesn't support receiving funds for the Bahamas. We could only send paypal funds...

worldpay might work

Talked with Worldpay and it's not one of their supported countries.
