philipsflat··on Good riddance, PayPal
My apologies. I can say that's highly unusual and there's no excuse for it. Can you email me directly at rob@braintreepayments.com so I can straighten this out for you ASAP?
philipsflat··on Braintree’s Payments Platform Launches Across Europe And Canada
We'd love to. We're definitely not done introducing our product to other countries. If you go to https://www.braintreepayments.com/tour/international and click on the link to the right that says, "Not in Canada or the EU?" that will put you on a notification list for when we are in your specific country.

philipsflat··on Why we ditched PayPal for Stripe
Stripe does provide you with a merchant account (https://stripe.com/terms). They just make it a simple process by asking for as little info up front as possible. There's advantages to this such as a quicker sign up process. But the disadvantages are that you may have issues if your company grows too fast, if you get too large of a transaction size or a host of other risk issues. Your best protection against these is giving the bank the option to perform a thorough underwriting. Disclosure: I work at Braintree.
