content: No visa card. dead end. They did not own their own bank, so could not get SWIFT directly from wire transfers, or process EFT checks directly, or contract with VISA directly. This made them have to use a PAYMENT PROCESSOR between them and VISA, and they got blocked by (((middlemen))) between visa card and their merchant account.  All mid tier and upper tier (((payment processors))) banned voat, gab, Hatreon, or would ban if utilized :   Stripe (Visa owns a lot of this company since 2015, a few months ago they also became a Bank and Visa issuer)  2 . PayPal GoFundMe, Patreon,and any crowdfunding platforms other than Hatreon itslef Coinbase (for the recipient. they take visa and allow xfer between Coinbase accounts) Marqeta Alipay (not too many usa credit cards allowed any more) Square Helsim Quickbooks Worldpay Dwolla  It appears that the nexus between Visa and Mastercard and these payment processors are coerced or muscled a bit. Being directly a bank and beholden to your customers independently especially if one of the main customers of your private bank is a USA registered Political Action Committee (PAC), would stop all blocking or banning or interference between VISA and MASTERCARD. But making that size bank is expensive but REQUIRED to be the one-stop entire internet payment processor. Sadly, the end game is that if you use investors they will make you sell your bank (LIKE ALL BANKS IN HISTORY have been sold) to larger (((banks))) and to (((larger payment processors))). Many on that list above are mergers and buyouts, or bought many competitors. Whoever makes Hatreon2 needs to not sell out. The simplest solution that would have kept the first Hatreon working fine, is in my 10 step list above : First all customers open cheap CoinBase.com accounts fund with a visa card or any instrument. Wait. Buy cryptocoins. Then to pay people like Hatreon , a coinbase account owner would xfer to an anonymouse cypto wallet created in moments and used foreever that runs in a browser window. From the wallet (tied to a mobile phone number and SMS text for whatever reason) you can xfer to a wallet tht does not use a  mobile phone number and SMS text, or just finally send crypto currency to Hatreon, Voat, Gab, whoever. NOTHING CAN INTERFERE. NOTHING!!! crypto coin blockchain was designed to get rid of ANY single point of authority.
