Thanks for your question !
I totally get the frustration with Stripe's wait times and limits since new accounts need to "warm up" before they can handle bigger volumes. But what we do is set up a unique company for each client, handle the Stripe and EMI setup + integration for cloaking, and let the account sit for a bit before handing it over, therefore it takes time. We also make sure to thoroughly check UBOs to ensure everything's solid long-term. From everything we've seen across hundreds of setups, warming up accounts makes them way more stable after 3-5 weeks, so we always recommend it.
Right now, we're working on cutting the wait time for HK and other jurisdictions to 3-4 weeks. It's been very busy last few months, but we've locked in new sources for reliable UBOs and even keep a few accounts in stock for emergencies. Also, we've temporarily paused onboarding Ukrainian UBOs due to EMI onboarding delays and are focusing on EU-based options and other alternatives instead.
Regarding your concern, a few months ago, we started warming up accounts ourselves, using low-risk, low-CB projects. These pre-aged accounts are good to go right away but cost much more than a fresh setup. Right now, we're offering HK, Singapore, and some European accounts with instant payouts, but they're highly demanded, especially among our long-term clients and revenue-share projects we work with.
Stripe is great for the local payment methods enabled and the conversion rates it delivers in some regions, but yeah, chargebacks can be tricky. We're currently developing our own Chargeback Alert service to help our clients with that.
If Stripe isn't the right fit, we've had good results with Airwallex as payment processor, and we also onboarded custom PSPs in the past based on a particular requests from clients. Those unique requests take longer than our usual flow, but our production department is capable of that.
Hope that clears things up! Let me know if you've got more questions and please PM me for any specific inquiry that we could help with.
