Hi! We are two engineers with 5 years experience working for companies such as Mastercard. While we have no concrete experience in mobile payments, we have a good idea of the current state of the payments landscape. We are developing PaySimply on the side now and this is mainly a market test. We will be using Stripe/Paymill as a payment processor in this test, so everything is secure and PCI compliant. Should we include this in the landing page? We wanted to keep everything as simple as possible. And no problem for sounding forward. It's best to be as brutal as possible :)

You should definitely put that upfront. If you are running a market test for the app's look and feel/usability then your users will probably be techies and blogies who would understand what you're saying and would be more comfortable testing it with a PCI compliant merchant.

I could be wrong, but this seems like something you need a state-by-state money transmitter license to operate legally. If you're launching this on the cheap (there are significant net worth requirements to get licensed) and worldwide (let alone nationwide), you might want to talk to a lawyer about your liability. These laws don't really care how technically easy it is to build a money transmission service on top of other companies.
