Knox... As in Fort Knox? I get it and smart. I like the way they let you soft test it by donating a dollar. My question though is why would a store owner choose this (not meant in an antagonizing tone at all) when PayPal and venmo let you use bank accounts but also accept alternatives to make sure you don't lose a customer in case they aren't willing to use a bank account?

@josevieitez maybe for charities and stuff that only want to accept transfer methods without fees?

Hey there! I love this idea and what you guys have done thus far! Clean, professional and dependable aesthetics for the site! 2 questions. 1. How do you generate revenue if everything is safe? Do you sell our info? 2. I do not know why but, how do I know my login info is 100% safe and it won't be seen by your hackers or your company? I know you have an SSL but... http://prntscr.com/98nx4h

How long does it take for the payment to be processed? I find the biggest problem in sending funds online is the availability of it immediately. @_jacksmith

@prokotasic not sure I'm afraid. i'm surprised that they didn't cover that in their faq

@_jacksmith @prokotasic Yeah, I feel like that's the biggest problem with online payments. I don't know too much about the subject (and please excuse my potentially stupid questions), but does something like that exist? Where we can send payments instantaneously rather than the confirmation of the debit/credit card taking 3 business days, and the transfer another 3?

Cert seems to be invalid. Unless I'm missing something here I don't think it's a good idea to give your banking login to a third party.

@_jacksmith Seems ok now. Previously I got a cert warning on mobile safari.

@_jacksmith I also got the certificate warning when I went from product hunt to mobile safari using the link in "get it". First time it warned me. Second time it disappeared. May be worth looking into :]

What's the difference between the plans Knox Secure and Knox Guarantee? There should be a tooltip in the signup page linking the customer to the types of plans and their costs. I have yet to find a page these are in Several problems in the signup page: - This

- In that same page (selectbank.php), Login link links to https://knoxpayments.com/admin and that obviously shouldn't be the case

We have something similar in Denmark called Swipp, except that you don't need to log into your bank account completely, but simply use a mobile app instead to accept the payment. You can transfer to any merchant or person if you know their phone number (every person has this registered with their bank) or in the case of webshops you simply type in your own phone number and then the shop sends a payment request to your mobile which you can accept. Works with all banks in the country (except for one as they decided to make their own crappy system called MobilePay - it uses credit-card payment system as backend instead of bank account transfers)

This looks pretty solid. It gives you an alternative way to accept payments (via online banking) vs credit cards and lets you do so for free. You can see a demo of the payment flow here: https://knoxpayments.com/demo.php (click the "donate" button)
