No, only they control the money printers.
SEPA is the direct banking standard in Europe. Basically every transaction between banks follows that standard. If youβre doing business in Europe, thatβs the most direct way you can go. Many other companies and their transactions follow the SEPA standard somewhere anyway. An SEPA mandate is pretty safe for the customer, too. It can be canceled by the account owner at any time. It does not have any additional insurance layer, though.
Evil in what sense? Privacy? Ecology? Transaction fee? Reliance on FLOSS? Decentralization?
Yes
XMR, Kaspa or LTC with mweb
If your software supports authorize.net, you can often use some other gateways with a drop-in compatible API by changing the endpoint.
I work with A.Net a lot and holy shit their API is hot garbage.
In 2006, it was the least hot garbage choice though.
Anything controlled by a centralized bank is evil.
Depending on the use case you might want to narrow this down by how many are compatible with your needs. Stripe's API for example is extremely versatile.
