launch recurring revenue streams.[17]

In April 2022,
Twitter announced that it would partner with Stripe Inc
(digital payments processor) for piloting cryptocurrency
pay-outs for limited users in the platform. "The crypto
payments will be routed through Stripe Connect, which
will also handle KYC requirements", Stripe said. The
company announced it was also planning to add options
for payment in other cryptocurrencies in the future.[18]
Former headquarters in San Francisco
In April 2022, Stripe announced its strategic partnership
with UK-based fintech company ION.[19] The Wall Street
Journal reported in July 2022 that the company's internal share price had fallen, causing its
implied valuation to drop from $95 billion to $74 billion.[20] In November 2022, the company
announced it intended to initiate layoffs, terminating some 14% of their workforce.[21]

Throughout 2022 and 2023, the company announced a number of large enterprise customers
including Airbnb,[22] Amazon,[23] Microsoft,[24] Uber,[25] BMW,[26] Maersk,[27] Zara,[28]
Lotus,[29] Alaska Airlines,[30] Le Monde,[31] and Toyota.[32] The company also announced in
March 2023 that OpenAI is working with Stripe to commercialize its generative AI technology.[33]

In January 2025, Stripe sent layoff notices to nearly 300 workers, primarily affecting roles in
Product, Operations and Engineering. The company experienced controversy when the company
sent a cartoon picture of a duck to the laid-off employees. Stripe's Chief People Officer Rob
McIntosh later apologized for the mistake.[34]

In September 2025, Stripe and OpenAI announced a partnership to allow customers to make
purchases through ChatGPT.[35]

Technology company

Payment processing
Stripe provides application programming interfaces that web developers can use to integrate
payment processing into their websites and mobile applications.[36] The company introduced
Stripe Connect in 2012, a multiparty payments solution that lets software developers embed
payments natively into their products.[37]

In April 2018, Stripe released antifraud tools, branded "Radar", that block fraudulent
transactions.[38] The same year, it expanded its services to include a billing product for online
businesses, allowing businesses to manage subscription recurring revenue and invoicing.[39]

Stripe's point-of-sale service called Terminal was made available to US users on 11 June 2019.
Terminal had previously been invitation-only.[40] Terminal is currently available in Australia,
Canada, France, Germany, Ireland, the Netherlands, New Zealand, Singapore, and the United
Kingdom. The service offers physical credit-card readers designed to work with Stripe.[41][42]

On 5 September 2019, Stripe launched a merchant cash-advance scheme called Stripe Capital. The
scheme allows Stripe merchants to request an advance on future payments they expect to process
through their Stripe merchant account.[43]

In June 2021, the company launched Stripe Tax, which lets businesses automatically calculate and
collect sales tax, VAT, and GST in over 30 countries and all US states.[44] In May that year, Stripe
introduced Payment Links, a no-code product allowing businesses to create a link to a checkout
page and begin accepting payments on social platforms or direct channels.[45]

In January 2022, Stripe agreed to acquire Terminal manufacturing partner BBPOS, allowing the
company to bring the hardware development of Terminal readers in-house.[46] In February, it was
announced as Apple's first partner on in-person Tap to Pay, which enables businesses to accept
contactless payments using an iPhone and a partner-enabled iOS app.[47] In May, Stripe
announced Data Pipeline, a tool for Stripe users who store data with Amazon Redshift or
Snowflake Data Cloud. Data Pipeline syncs Stripe data and reports with Amazon Redshift or
Snowflake Data Cloud, where they can be queried in combination with other business
information.[48] That month, the company also introduced Stripe Financial Connections, enabling
businesses to establish direct connections with their customers’ bank accounts to verify accounts
for payments and pay-outs, check balances to reduce payment failures, and cut fraud by
confirming bank account ownership.[49] In September 2023, Stripe announced that its optimized
checkout suite allowed businesses to offer their customers more than 100 payment methods.[50]

In May 2025, Stripe announced a new AI foundational model for payments, and introduced stable-
coin powered accounts.[51]

Corporate finance
In July 2018, Stripe introduced Stripe Issuing, a product that allows online businesses and
platforms to create their own physical and digital credit and debit cards.[52][53]

Atlas
On 14 February 2016, the company launched the Atlas platform to help start-ups register as US
corporations, targeting foreign entrepreneurs.[54] The platform was originally invitation-only.[55]
In March 2016, Cuba was added to the list of countries covered under the program.[56] Originally,
companies registered using Atlas were set up as Delaware-based C corporations. As of 30 April
2018, the option to be registered as limited liability companies was added.[57] Companies set up
using Atlas automatically had a business bank account and Stripe merchant account set up.[54]

Link
Link,[58] a service for saving and auto-filling payment details when paying via Stripe, was launched
by Stripe in May 2021.[59][60]

The service supported payments in over 185 countries and Stripe reported plans to make it
available to platform businesses through its API.[60]

Other
In 2018, Stripe started a publishing company named Stripe Press to promote ideas that support
businesses.[61][62]

In 2019, Stripe began offering loans and credit cards to businesses in the United States. The
company stated that loans are approved automatically using machine-learning models, with no
human intervention.[63] The following year, the company introduced Stripe Treasury, which
provides its platform users APIs to embed financial services, allowing their customers to send,
receive, and store funds.[64]

In October 2020, Stripe announced Stripe Climate, a service for businesses to fund atmospheric
carbon research and capture.[65] In 2022, Stripe started a new subsidiary called Frontier that
would direct spending on carbon removal. It announced $925 million in funding from major
Silicon Valley companies to fund start up companies performing carbon capture to kick-start the
industry.[66]

Stripe Identity, launched in June 2021, enables online businesses to verify user identities and is
built on the same infrastructure used for Stripe's own risk and compliance program.[67] In May
2022, Stripe launched Stripe Apps to allow businesses to simplify operations and combine
fragmented workflows.[50] Stripe also announced Financial Connections to help businesses
connect to their customers’ bank accounts for verifying bank accounts, checking balances, and
confirming account ownership.[68]

Stripe App Marketplace

In May 2022, Stripe announced the launch of an App Marketplace allowing users to customize
Stripe with third-party app integrations.[69] At launch, the Marketplace had over 50 apps including
offerings from DocuSign, Dropbox, Intercom, Mailchimp, Ramp, and Xero.[70] While the
marketplace was launched in May, app installations were not available immediately.[71]

The move followed Stripe's acquisition of OpenChannel, a company which built app ecosystems for
businesses, in December 2021.[72]

Growth
In May 2011, Stripe received a $2 million investment from venture capitalists Peter Thiel, Elon
Musk, Sequoia Capital, SV Angel, and Andreessen Horowitz.[73] Stripe launched publicly in
September 2011 after an extensive private beta.[74]

In 2020 Stripe expanded its services to five new European markets: the Czech Republic, Romania,
Bulgaria, Cyprus, and Malta.[75]

On 15 October 2020, Stripe acquired Paystack, a Nigerian payment processor, in a deal reportedly
worth over $200 million, with the aim of expanding its services into Africa.[76]

In December 2020, Stripe announced plans to expand in Southeast Asia, China, India, and Japan.
It increased its staff in the region by 200 employees.[77]

In March 2021, Stripe raised another $600 million, reaching a valuation of $95 billion, aimed
towards expanding their European headquarters.[78]

In April 2021, Stripe acquired TaxJar, a provider of cloud-based tax services based in
Massachusetts. Whilst details of the acquisition were not made public, the deal is thought to have
been in the region of $200M.[79] In March 2023, Stripe completed its Series I fundraise of more
than $6.5 billion at a $50 billion valuation. The funds raised will be used to provide liquidity to
current and former employees and address employee withholding tax obligations related to equity
awards. The company has said it does not need this capital to run its business.[80]

On 4 February 2025, Stripe announced it had acquired Bridge.[81] The acquisition of the two-year-
old stablecoin platform company is valued at $1.1 billion.[82][83]

Investments
Stripe is reported to have participated in two funding rounds for Monzo, a "challenger bank" based
in the U.K. Stripe's first investment in Monzo was reported on 6 November 2017,[84] with a second
investment in Monzo's Series E fundraising round reported on 10 October 2018.[85] Monzo's
valuation grew from approximately $350 million[84] to $1.27 billion[85] through these two rounds
of fundraising. Stripe participated in a third round of funding for Monzo on 24 June 2019, which
raised approximately $144 million in funding for Monzo at a valuation of approximately
$2.5 billion.[86][87]

Stripe has invested in companies offering similar services as themselves, but in different
geographical regions. In August 2018, Stripe invested in PayStack, a Nigerian payment
processor,[88] and, in September 2019, invested in PayMongo, a Philippine payment processor.[89]
In February 2021, Stripe invested in Safepay, a Pakistani payment processor.[90]

On 6 June 2019, Stripe led a $22.5 million fundraising round for Step, a financial services start-up
offering fee-free bank accounts to teenagers.[91]

On 26 March 2020, Stripe led a $20 million Series A fundraising round for Fast, a company
creating a universal, one-click checkout service.[92] Subsequently, Stripe led a $102 million Series
B fundraising round for Fast on January 26, 2021.[93] Fast shut down in April 2022.[94]

On 3 November 2021, Stripe led a $4 million Series Seed fundraising round for Archive, a social
listening and user-generated content platform.[95]

In April 2022, Stripe Inc., Alphabet Inc., Shopify, McKinsey & Company, and Meta Platforms
announced Frontier, a $925 million advance market commitment of carbon dioxide removal
(CDR) from companies that are developing CDR technology over the next 9 years.[96][97]

On 15 July 2024, it was reported that major Stripe investor Sequoia Capital offered its limited
partners a chance to sell up to $861 million worth of shares in Stripe. This move, indicating
confidence in Stripe's future despite the delayed IPO, was driven by Sequoia's efforts to provide
liquidity to its investors amid a dry IPO market. Stripe's latest 409A valuation stood at $70 billion,
solidifying its position as one of the most valued start-ups globally.[98][99]

On 26 July 2024, Stripe acquired a Merchant of Record services start-up Lemon Squeezy.[100][101]
