Credit card payment processor
I'm trying to find a payment processor with the view to offering paid plans on a legal file hosting site however paypal doesn't support this. Can anone recommend somewhere that processes debit/credit card payments for UK and allow file hosting sites? Ideally I don't want to store any credit card information.
Would be nice to have instant/short payment processing times transferring funds to a bank account or debit card.

Stripe? Everyone seems to like them.
The better question is if there is a payment processor who isn't going to eat your lunch with processing fees.
Everyone uses stripe works great.
Use Stripe! and in case you are not from a country where Stripe is supported then get a Borderless bank account from Transferwise and connect it to your Stripe.
EDIT: Shouldn't be a problem if you are from the UK.
Definitely Stripe.
Thanks everyone stripe it is.
They're great. Fraud detection and features are pretty good compared to other card processors.
now thats interesting...
Recently moved to Stripe. Low fees is a plus and whmcs added integration in v7.
Pavin.
For me as web developer, using Stripe is pretty straightforward. Upvote for Stripe.
I personally use braintree payments, and they work rather nicely
Stripe have refused my request to accept payments via them on my command line based file hosting service even though I said that no anonymous/unregistered user uploads would be allowed. Can anyone recommend an alternative?

Stripe is the best so far as also you be able to setup fraud filters - much better than just check visitors IP address details (maxmind IP intelligence without any intelligence!)
alas they turned me down due to conflict with their TOS as potentially falls under "IP Infringement" and recommended paymentcloudinc
Just had a read seems I may be out of luck, the annoying thing is I wanted to actively use their fraud prevention/verification as all users would have to provide legitimate personal and credit card details.
very odd, the other great payment gateways are: Braintree and Square
The scam payment gateways are:
Nochex - even they are regulated under FCA, they do unfair contracts and without any notification can update terms and condition, empty your account and terminate it, I do believe they are lacking in transparency;
2Checkout - they do love a fake chargebacks and we caught them as our customer did signed a contract and never initiated chargeback;
I saw quite many websites using 2Checkout, even was thinking about trying them anybody else can confirm that they are scaming people?
