About Kessai Compass

I'm a software engineer running web businesses in Japan. I built this site after Stripe suspended the account for my own online business and sent me off to talk to a long list of payment providers.

What I learned is that plenty of perfectly legal businesses don't fit the automated risk models of instant-signup processors. This site shares what I found out along the way, and I'm happy to talk through your situation.
