Which of these is the least evil option?
You're viewing a single thread.
I'll list the ones I know from best to worst and hopefully someone else can add in the rest ranked according to their experiences🤗
From top to bottom (top being best):
- Wire transfer
- Stripe
- Amazon Payment Services
- Paypal
Seconded for wire transfer. I don't know as much about it, but going directly through banks without an intermediary who might sell your data is preferable.
SEPA Direct Debit is also a wire transfer (bank to bank)
And some institutions waive the fees, which is super nice.
Wire transfer can still go through intermediaries, although I generally don't think these companies are in the business of selling data.
For example, a bank can use a service to connect to a scheme (say SEPA, or FPS, or whatever).
