AI companies are now global by default. The 100 largest AI companies on Stripe by revenue reached an average of 120 markets by their third year of operation. Collectively, they now draw 48% of revenue from outside their home markets. But global availability is only the first step. Our latest analysis looks at where AI demand is growing fastest—and what it takes to turn that demand into durable revenue. A few findings stood out: 🇰🇷 South Korea stood out as an already-large market that continues to grow quickly at 134% year-over-year. 🇲🇽 Mexico emerged as a breakout market, with 264% year over year growth despite its current smaller size. 💳 The fastest-growing AI companies use 2x more local payment methods than the broader cohort, underscoring that localization matters as much as reach. For AI businesses, the opportunity is not simply to sell in more countries. It is to build experiences that let customers in those markets buy in the ways that work best for them.

Something wild is happening with Stripe Connect right now. We've added more platforms on Stripe in the last 3 months than we did in the last 6 months of 2025. New platform businesses on Stripe are up 106% year over year. And, fascinatingly, that growth rate is still accelerating. A few things stand out to me: 1. These are real businesses onboarding real users with real volume. We did a deep audit of our newest platforms (manual reviews, LLM classification, heuristic checks) and they're legit. Even better, our January 2026 cohort is hitting $1M in volume at a higher rate than any previous cohort. 2. AI is changing how developers build on Stripe, with 42% of new integrations involving some form of AI assistance. For Connect users, we're leaning into this trend heavily with better docs, blueprints, and agent-friendly tooling. We recently added a new connect-recommend skill to the official Stripe plugin for Claude, available to users who install or invoke the plugin. This skill provides agent-steering resources that help AI recommend the Connect integration for the use case. In Claude skill evals, the rewritten Connect guidance improved the pass rate from ~40% to ~90% across our six core Connect scenarios. 3. The macro tailwinds are real and, at the same time, we've also shipped a ton of improvements to onboarding and integration flows that are compounding. Users building “complete” integrations (a leading indicator for us) is up 200% YoY. For SaaS platforms thinking about embedded payments or financial services, the barrier to entry has never been lower. The platforms building now are scaling faster than we've ever seen. So excited for what’s happening with the segment and we want your feedback. If you're a platform founder or leader, would love to hear what's top of mind for you right now.

Earlier this year, Anupam Upadhyay and I set ourselves a new goal: 10x every Stripe in the same way coding agents had 10x-ed engineers. That idea evolved into Stripe’s Knowledge AI Platform, our in-house AI tool. Today, 80% of Stripes use it weekly across more than 20,000 sessions every day. It helps people turn fragmented context spread across various internal systems into answers and usable artifacts. And the impact is being felt all around us - we just learned that Account Execs close almost 40% more deals when they use it!

@bashirbuilds @stripe Those 30 Stripe codes collapse to two buckets: card is dead, or the issuer is having a moment. do_not_honor never says which. I let the retry outcome be the label now and still can't tell them apart on the first try.

@arbitrum @stripe Everyone's counting RWAs. Nobody's naming what's actually happening: Stripe, Robinhood, Dinari chose the same chain That's not coincidence. That's a settlement layer being selected

Bill LeebilltleeX· 3w ago

@arbitrum @stripe 3k+ rwa count on one chain is a milestone people will hand-wave because tokenized stocks already hit $170m there. the signal isnt the headline, its that stripe treasury chose this chain for usdc payouts. payment rails pulling asset issuance.

About Stripe

Stripe was founded in 2010 by Irish brothers Patrick and John Collison. It provides developer-first payment APIs used by companies ranging from startups to Amazon and Google. Stripe also offers Stripe Atlas (company formation), Stripe Capital (lending), Stripe Issuing (card creation), and Stripe Treasury (banking-as-a-service).

Frequently asked questions

Is Stripe for consumers or businesses?

Stripe is primarily a B2B platform for businesses and developers. Consumers don't open Stripe accounts — they interact with Stripe indirectly when paying on websites powered by it. However, Stripe also offers some consumer-facing products in select markets.

How much does Stripe charge per transaction?

Stripe's standard pricing is 1.5% + €0.25 for European cards (in Europe) or 2.9% + $0.30 per transaction in the US. Additional fees apply for international cards and currency conversion.

Does Stripe offer banking services?

Stripe Treasury allows platforms to embed financial services, including FDIC-insured accounts, card issuing, and money movement. It's an infrastructure layer, not a consumer bank.

Is Stripe publicly traded?

No. As of 2024, Stripe remains a private company despite being one of the world's most valuable startups.

Which countries does Stripe support?

Stripe supports businesses in 46+ countries and accepts payments from customers in 195+ countries in 135+ currencies.
