Really, really bummed.

My v1 was orignally built on Stripe and I moved to Balanced quickly after they launched, because they offered ACH and escrow balance, etc.

Whenever I moved over, Mahmoud (Balanced CTO) stayed up past 1am to help me migrate. That instantly won me over. The entire team was super responsive and every interaction I had with the Balanced team was superb. Sorry to see this company go away (tear).

We run a non-significant amount of money through Balanced and hope that Stripe is a good fit. Not looking forward to re-writing our payments engine from the ground-up in 90 days :/

Yea, Patrick phrased it well when he said it's a bittersweet day for Stripe. We have a ton of respect for the team and what they've built.

Hopefully we can make the transition as smooth as possible. If you run into any trouble, feel free to email me at bkrausz@stripe.com.
