Last line of the question was "My potential customers are anyone with an internet connection and a means of paying." - i.e. requiring a CC eliminates about 80% of your customers. Even among OECD (i.e. rich) countries, CC ownership is only 53%. (Source: Worldbank Findex report 2014) | |
| Dec 18, 2015 at 21:25 | comment | added | Schwern | @MSalters From that same article... "20 percent of college students carried neither [a credit card nor a debit card]" though it drops to about 10% by the time they graduate. Debit cards also don't have the same legal fraud protection in the US as credit cards; people may be more reluctant to use them online, though I don't have data for that. | |
