Best Answer
You need to look at payment services providers. There are a lot of them! Competition is staunch and unless you have millions under the maytress and something they can't offer, then I'm sorry to say, but you have nothing.
Other points
You should have a licence from government wherever you plan to do business. In EU it's an electronic money license, for example. So PayPal usually holds relevant EM license for every country where it operates. Working without license usually considered as financial offence/fraud. So, for example, if you want to have customers from UK (regardless where you have headquarters), you should obtain licence from FCA first.
