Dang, I should go try and reapply, also e-resident, also got rejected pretty quickly. Good to know the guys are open to re-evaluation.

I was a Braintree customer for more than three years in another company. My experience in my former company was very good, so I was a bit surprised when I was rejected.

I wrote to them and I asked them to explain to me why they have rejected me. I told them I was an ex-customer and I could prove it. So they came back and they asked for an insane amount of information and documentation. Something I learned is the 'no-paper' model of Estonia is something Braintree doesn't like at all.

I had a problem with a very specific request, and Leapin helped me to get it in less than 24 hours.

So yes, go and try again!

It's so unfortunate that Stripe isn't supported in Estonia yet! It would be a major boon given the good reputation Stripe has among developers.

I've worked with both Braintree and Stripe, and I'm honestly not sure why people harp on about Stripe so much compared to BT. In my experience, they're both super easy to work with.

Maybe it's a regional thing but I never encountered Stripe in the UK/EU. I don't think people know of it.

On the other hand of anecdata, I'm in the UK, and plenty of people I know have heard of and use it. It's the developer go-to for most projects I've seen, but BT does appeal with Paypal integration.

Stripe is used by https://pythonanywhere.com I believe they are based in the UK according to their payment statements.

What about Paymill?

What bank are you using? Apparently Stripe doesn't accept Holvi or Transferwise (which indeed are not banks)
