Payment company Stripe is expanding across the pond into the United Kingdom today. Stripe now supports two new currencies, the British pound, and the euro. Stripe is a direct competitor to PayPal, Braintree, and others. Stripe has won over a lot of developers due to that all you need to do to implement Stripe is insert a couple lines of code.
The service has been in beta in the UK since March, and it is still in beta for Ireland, France, and the Netherlands. Virgin Pure and Thread.com have been using the beta.
Stripe is definitely looking out on the rest of Europe and Australia to expand in the future.
