6. Why Don’t We Accept Card or PayPal Payments?

6.1 Ethical Concerns with Fintech Companies

If you can recommend an ethical fintech company that aligns with our values, we would be happy to explore it. Unfortunately, many mainstream payment processors, such as PayPal and Stripe, do not meet our standards. From PayPal’s controversial practices, such as the Honey scandal, to Stripe abruptly closing accounts and withholding funds from small businesses for up to 120 days without explanation, we have found these companies to be unreliable and misaligned with our principles.

As a small UK-based business, relying entirely on American fintech companies poses significant risks. Interestingly, since we stopped using PayPal and Stripe in 2019, our business has grown significantly. This proves these platforms are not essential for success. Additionally, by avoiding them, we save on their substantial fees—a win-win for us and our customers.
