alt Hacker NewsIt seems to me like whole Western countries, especially Britain being outside the EU and Eurozone and with its own currency, ought to have at least one big domestically-based option for something this fundamental. It’s an odd thing to have to rely on foreign countries for.
Is there a company that’s basically like “Stripe but British-owned”?

Yes, the 3rd competitor to Stripe and Ayden being Checkout.com
Also running payment processor per country would not be an easy feat or probably feasible.

British payment processors usually sell out / get taken over by US firms
Checkout.com isn't terribly British just headquartered there (Swiss guy founded it in Singapore, tons of foreign investors). They opened a SF office last year, after a big US push prior, so if their financials stay adequate I imagine it'll be another that sells out to the US
