That's the problem, our banks and financial system don't comply with many international regulations hence making it very very difficult to use 90% of credit card gateways.
The workarounds are using foreign banks and businesses to receive payment but that opens ups can of worms wrt to taxes.
Secondly, there is the option of PayPal but that has many limitations locally as well.
Stripe can be linked to local bank accounts but their fees are high.
WiPay circumvented this by using shady third party gateways that were very unreliable. They had no proper logging system in place and bypassed many security checks. They would never pass a first world audit.
They at least know this is an issue which is why they're probably trying to form a US bank or organisation to gain access to better gateways. I honestly not sure about the regulatory framework involved there.
All I know is my good friend works in a local bank that is affiliated with WiPay and he has nothing good to say about their system or their management.
I'm looking for alternative ones but what gateways do websites like courts and stuff use?
I read of one fcb was working on but couldn't find any follow up info.
Regarding planting seeds a lot of people myself included used them for the online payment option. But they do take very long to pay out. You have to mentally note that it's going to be at least a month before you can get your money and then their delivery is terrible.
Basically I'm looking for any system to tie into woocommerce right now that facilities online payment locally

There is a market for what WiPay wants to offer, online banks like revolut and many others are huge billion dollar companies, but ofc this takes lots of money and resources and they're already first to market in the US.
But I had high hopes for WiPay but they've tarnished a lot of the good reputation they had initially.
I had a few meetings with their CEO long time ago and I always find he seemed a bit....I dunno very disingenuous, and talked a lot BS, and being a bit of a know if all. So it's no surprise to me that WiPay messed up, and stole many people's money including myself.

Apparently you do not chill with any big boys intellectually
You call Tony a dreamer etc etc. This is how progress is made in business .
It's a risk , it's a shot into the future , it's for venture capitalists .
Some say BS and some say vision
Tell us you own house in Miami and have people knocking on your door who gave you $20 M USD.
Or own a Bank.
If not wait for " the buy out " by more experienced technocrat businessmen in venture capitalist environment .
Meanwhile you can surely populate Tuner with graphs to amuse and educate Tuners
Tuner is amusement !
