Like Braintree's entry into Australia, the pricing isn't as amazing as I think people were hoping.
Whether it's because they too rely on nab (An Australian bank) to provide the multi-currency account (Also used by Braintree) or because they aren't looking to differentiate on price I am not sure.
Are you able to disclose whether the $50 a month is a result of nab's involvement somewhere in your end-to-end setup? To me, that's the most unfair part of payments in Australia. I can understand charging if an account is dormant but not just because everyone else is doing it. That's the problem with banks today- they all just copy each other.
Am I missing something here or is there more to why I'd use Pin? Would love to hear a compelling case and a reason for why paying more per transaction adds value.
I'd say that at the end of the day, most merchants want the payment to be secure + cheap, that's it. Analytics etc. are nice but can come out of free open-source tracking methods.
Lastly as a developer, the per month cost is a killer. It completely shuts down the idea of having a boutique site earning residual money.
