Does anyone know startups working on bringing Visa Direct / Mastercard MoneySend to us, developers, without all the financial / regulatory overhead? These are world-wide payments with huge potential, but I am struggling to find any offering on the market today. "Coming soon" mostly.. :(

@vizzah: I work at Stripe. We're working with Visa Direct and MoneySend, and you're able to sign up and begin using it today. Let me know if you have any troubles, and I'd be happy to help.

@lachyg Thanks for the invite!.. but as far as I understand Stripe only covers b2c payments to US cards? Or if we sign up as US company, can we send world-wide?

To clarify the other response, you've been able to use Stripe to send Direct / MoneySend for quite awhile now:

https://stripe.com/docs/connect/bank-transfers

Normally it takes a few days for the payment to clear. With the new Instant Transfers option it shows up immediately.
