Good payment processor for marketplace?

Hi, do you know a good payment processor for marketplace (collecting $$, then distributing it to merchants registered on site).

Paypal is not an option: the "payouts" feature that would handle automated payments is not available in my country if I generate less than 20k / month already (how could I generate any $$ if I need a payment processor to launch my business..... stupid).

Stripe is not an option either: they work by a stupid concept of "region": if I'm in Europe (which I am) I cannot send payment to people outside my region (same if you are in USA, you cannot sent payment outside your region).

So what's left? Handling of micro payments would be a plus.

@brakkar This doesn’t seem correct. I use Stripe Connect and have done for years without issue.

@martinbean You mean you have connectes stripe accounts from users in Europe And USA, and can send payments to both?

Maybe this is something they inforced after you created your account, and it applies only to new accounts. I will ask for clarifications.
