Pin Payments, for cards. They have an Australian focus but global capability. If you use a scheme card for Fastmail, you probably paid via Pin Payments. Pin have a Stripe-like API but a small-team feel during contact i.e. we know one another by name, and when escalating a technical query I've had dialogue directly with a dev lead. I've even received hand-written Christmas cards from them. I live in mortal terror of Pin being bought by Stripe, or (worse) an Australian financial institution, with all the consequences for competence and customer service level that follow. We also handle bulk/large payments via CS2 (the Aus equivalent of ACH, for Usonian readers), with handling fee.

I've been using Pin since very early days. Dev experience is great, the API is well thought out and documented. Your fear about Pin being bought by an Australian financial institution may be unfounded (or it's already happened depending on your perspective). Back in the early days, it was fairly well known that National Australia Bank was a part owner in Pin, but I can't find anything to support that now. NAB is listed first on their partners page (https://pinpayments.com/company/partners https://pinpayments.com/company/partners) and their Terms of Service (https://pinpayments.com/terms/national-australia-bank https://pinpayments.com/terms/national-australia-bank) are a 3 way agreement between NAB, Pin and yourself. I'm sure it would be worse if Pin was fully absorbed into NAB though.
