Ask HN: Where is Square payments or equivalent for the UK?
Where or why isn't there an equivalent of Square in the UK? I can understand why Square is avoiding expanding at the moment as they focus on building their US business.
It's a valid model of taking payments, so why isn't there a UK service offering it?
a) no one bothering? b) no one funding people who want to bother? c) regulatory problems?
