About Stripe

Stripe was founded in 2010 to solve a specific problem: accepting payments online was historically a convoluted, paper-heavy process. The Collison brothers built a simple, developer-first API that allowed any business to start accepting credit cards instantly.

Since its initial focus on payments, Stripe has expanded into a massive suite of financial tools. It now offers billing and subscription management, fraud prevention, corporate cards, and Banking-as-a-Service, powering massive enterprises like Amazon, Shopify, and Uber alongside millions of startups.
