MenuHow do I accept international payments in my app?
I run a business which accepts payments in my local African country. It's done well with flows of over $100K and due to demand, I want to accept international payments. I registered the company in the U.S. from home, and I am currently based in the U.S on an F1 Visa (doing masters). I tried stripe but they asked for social security (which I don't have). Whats the best way to accept international (US, UK, Europe) payments for my company?

Thanks.

What is the best way for a fin-tech (mobile wallet) startup to approach a bank for an operational partnership? For eg. Stripe & Wells Fargo
Depending on the market, a bank is going to look at a combination of low-cost customer acquisition (particularly in strategic growth segments), mass-market desposit mobilization, credit portfolio growth and fee-based income. The respective weight of these, in terms of relative importance, will depend on the bank and its strategic objectives. It will also vary based in whether you are talking to an acquiring or an issuing bank. The best way to approach a bank is therefore to identify which core business element your startup is best positioned to support, and which bank is likelier to find the value prop attractive. I would suggest talking to the head of retail banking, the head of credit business and the head of acquiring business.AM
