Hi Ken,
Just to follow up for Dan, I'm the another co-founder of Digital Pigeon and
handled our switch to Stripe and work with Stripe UI daily. Stripe AU
supports all Aussie cards and Stripe US adds all the extra US cards -
discover, diners etc. It appears that pin.net.au is Australia's answe
+1 for Pin as a customer (no relationship with them financial or otherwise).
US bank acct is a total nightmare unless you are either in the States or go
there (no matter how briefly). Pin is easy as all hell. Yes, you lose some
because of the currency conversion (e.g. my hosting is in USD, which
Braintree will allow charging in other currencies, we do GBP, USD & AUD,
you just need them set up in the back end, and then you decide which
currency to settle in, and if it involves a conversion (e.g. sell in USD
settle into AUD) then you pay that hit. If you have multiple merchant
accounts you p
My understanding is that this is based on the bank that backs the payment
infrastructure. There are probably also some financial considerations if
you're settling money into an AU account from the US (e.g. conversion &
account fees), so it'd depend on how you're set up & what tradeoffs you're

Hey Dan,
This is interesting. So Stripe Australia can only change some cards but not
others? I am aware that a lot of companies in the US seem to go for Amex so
this may be a deal breaker if we chose Pin?
We looked into SVB a while ago but put it off because it did look hard to
setup from where w
Hey Tom,
Yep, already looked at Braintree too but from what I have read they only
allow pricing in AUD.
Stripe are also on our short list. Will search the list archives, thanks!

I agree Tom. I over simplified why we switched, more supported cards was
only one of the reasons (and we could have gotten close to that through
NAB)...

I think the cards accepted are a limitation of NAB (which backs a lot of
them) rather than the payment infrastructure.

Hey Ken,
We have two Stripe accounts, one Australian based through NAB and another
US based through SVB. All the international business goes through the SVB
backed account and the AU/NZ business goes through NAB. We did it this was
because it's the only solution we could find to covered a wide rang
Hey Ken,
We use Braintree at Oomph, it does what you need, we were able to charge in
GBP, AUD or USD and settle into an AU account (NAB). Braintree is
functional, but a bit of a pain (paperwork, long lead time) to set up. Now
that there are more options I doubt I'd pick them again (was them, paypa

Hi everybody,
We are launching in a couple of weeks but haven't yet decided what to do
about payments. We are Melbourne based but are targeting the US market
(already have an American LLC) so we want to charge in US dollars.
Do we need to get a US bank account? We looked into this (e.g. walked
