Stripe has raised $150M more at a $9B valuation
I would like to start a developer-first payment processor in my country, where we do not have access to PayPal or Stripe.<p>What would you guys say is the biggest hurdle to overcome to get off the ground? Finding a bank to back your transactions? Securing customer card details and connections? Dealing with fraud? Insurance in case of data breach? Or none of the above?<p>Also, what kind of upfront costs would I need to factor in? I&#x27;ve been looking at local compliance requirements and regulations, and they seem doable (on the order of $1k USD). I plan on working on this alone, at least initially.
