Ask HN: Where is Square payments or equivalent for the UK?

Where or why isn't there an equivalent of Square in the UK? I can understand why Square is avoiding expanding at the moment as they focus on building their US business.

It's a valid model of taking payments, so why isn't there a UK service offering it?

a) no one bothering? b) no one funding people who want to bother? c) regulatory problems?



iZettle.com - that's the only one I've heard of.

With it being primarily chip & pin in the uk I think that was an initial hurdle for people to get over, so it probably took longer for a UK company to come to market.


Fantastic, thanks for that, I'd completely missed it.
