Why don't you check the BIN yourself before sending the request to Stripe?

I can assist you with that: danielgomjur/at/gmail/dot/com

Cause I redirect the customer to Stripe hosted page. I'd really prefer not to go into the whole PCI DSS thing for this. Also, why should I jump through hoops when it's Stripe that chooses to make life harder for me? I'd rather find a better alternative.
It would be illegal to do this in the US or Europe without the business being PCI compliant first.

You might want to offer up the country's laws you are familiar with before making offers like this.
