After having several conversations with them, here's my take, and I'll keep it straightforward:
Their support is pretty quick to respond, which is nice. However, the price they're asking for their service is way too high. Charging $2300-2500 for a brand-new, non-aged Stripe account is about four to five times more expensive than what you can find elsewhere (including selfie verification).
If the accounts are a little bit aged, that might make sense, but they're all new, and you have to do the work to warm them up. If you're dealing with volumes of over $1000-1500 a day, you'll have to wait for several weeks before you can handle all your payments (unless you want your Stripe to be blocked).︀ And let's not even talk about those processing $5k-10k+ a day. So, paying that much︁ for a new account, especially when it's quite straightforward to open one with darks, is︂ just too expensive. If the accounts had a bit of history, maybe it would be︃ worth considering, but at this price? Nope.
In my situation, with over $5k a day︄ in payments, to warm up an account, I have to accept $300 a day at︅ the beginning. To cover all the payments, I'd need 16 accounts (costing $34,500???!). Selling aged︆ accounts (a little bit aged not much) would genuinely add value to their service. Asking︇ $2500 for a new account just doesn't seem fair.
@MichaelUniq, imagine you're a savvy︈ collector who knows the real value of unique rocks. As you stroll around, you spot︉ folks in a line, happily paying ten times the usual price for ordinary stones because︊ they don't recognize their true worth. The urge to clue them in becomes hard to︋ resist.
I have been working with Stripe for years, specifically with proxy sites and stealth︌ accounts, so I speak from firsthand experience.
