  1. Question for the banking/privacy-savvy people on Fedi: my bank recently told me I could start using #ClickToPay

    The idea looks OK on paper (you use your email and they validate your credentials with the bank without the website ever accessing said credentials and without going through an additional 3rd party.

    However, I did not find much detail on how this actually works, where data is stored, what is shared, etc.

    What's your opinion on it privacy-wise?

  2. BESCOM will suspend online consumer services in 20 towns from June 10–30, 2026, during migration from TRM to the new IPDS platform. Third-party bill payments will remain available.

  3. Ah, the tragedy of #crowdfunding dreams crushed by the prudish overlords of online payments! 😱 Apparently, #Stripe has decided that adult content isn't kosher, leaving #Kickstarter to play the prude. If only backers could pledge for #common #sense... 💸🙄

  4. I was fortunate present my thoughts at #FOSDEM 2026. I think it went pretty well... though a little rushed.

    It's at least a good survey of where I think we as a community need to head, and how my work on #Emissary meets each of these needs

    Key Points:
    * Bring creators to the Fediverse (#OnlinePayments)
    * Work together to operate like a single unit (#FEP3b86)
    * Killer Features they can't copy (#DataPortability)
    * Whatever YOU do, go make the Fediverse better

  6. #RIP Flattr, as of 2023;

    These folks were way ahead of their time. Hopefully some of the people involved go on to work with some of the more recent online payments projects, like GNU Taler and the Interledger Foundation's Web Monetization protocol.

  7. 2/2
    The other is when I ordered a TV, after my old one died after 13 years. I selected "Trade up" collection that included a £xxx discount, but it automatically added an incompatible lesser discount at the final payment stage, and I lost the collection and the discount. It wasn't transparent.

    I've asked the support folks nicely, twice, explaining that I had specified the collection with discount (...). Anyway, I hope for better.

  8. For years I've been meaning to do a deep dive on digital payments (what people call "FinTech"). I intended to achieve 2 main things;

    1) Map out the fundamentals structure of payments stacks

    2) Look at different payment services (eg OpenCollective, Stripe, Visa) and locate them in the right layer(s) of the stack

    @trysdyn has done a fantastic job of the first part here, and in doing so, some of the second part;

  9. Almost all of the online payment providers you interact with is backed by one of a handful of giant payment processors (eg PayPal and Stripe, or in China, AliPay and WeChatPay). That are essentially an API between you and the credit card company your card belongs to. That are, in turn. basically APIs between you and the company that hosts your bank accounts.

    In other words, companies are squeezing on chokepoints between you and your bank.

  12. Recommendations (preferably from experience) on online payment providers?

    For a budding, subscription-based SaaS solution.

    I remember Stripe and Square. Other worthy candidates out there?

    Thanks 🙏🏻

  14. My bank, sending me a code which is to be shared with a provider to enable payment: "NEVER SHARE THIS CODE!"

    Me: <feeling apprehensive> shares code with provider to enable payment.

  15. Disposable virtual cards are the best feature of Revolut. None of the last 10 payments I've made need permanent access to my credit card. This should be a default in any bank.
