Yes, if you take credit cards, you'll have loads of issues. But for example supporting the eurozone (most of the EU) is both easier and better accomplished by only taking SEPA push transfers. While there is fraud risk, it's significantly less and shouldn't cost you as the processor. Worst case, I think, it'd be the cents you have to pay to send the money back.

And regarding the issue with being a trust: sure that's a thing, but contract terms should be able to fix the problem by making you send it back (minus nominal fees?) if the designated recipient's registered IBAN refuses your payout. And just don't offer to collect money for anyone who didn't register.



My point on trusts is that very few people consider them and wind up in the default arrangements. Which are less than ideal.

But setting up an explicit trust arrangement needs to be done with great care as well, especially since trust laws vary from place to place.
