Agreed, this is a massive pain - I'd love to start using them but I need to bill in USD, and getting a US bank account from the UK is a big unknown.
I spoke to them at their hack day in London at the beginning of April, and they said they expected to solve this in 1-3 months. So hopefully within the next 6 weeks if we're optimistic!
- stevejalim 13y agoDid they give any indication of how they're going to solve it? Hopefully something as 'simple' as USD charges getting sent to my GBP account, taking a forex hit along the way. I'd rather that than the red tape of setting up a US account.
- deskpro 13y agoPersonally I want them to send $USD to a UK bank in $US. I set one of these up with barclays; it was trivial and low fees. Can then use transferwise to get $USD into £GBP and avoid the 2.5% forex tax our lovely banks charge.
- auxbuss 13y agoThat's good to know. I've not put Stripe live because of this. It all looks great, but the inability to handle multiple currencies is a deal breaker for now. GBP, USD, and EUR are a minimum, imo. Been doing that elsewhere since the 1990s. That's not meant to be snarky, simply factual.
