Who we are

About Stripe

Stripe is a financial infrastructure platform for businesses. Millions of companies—from the world’s largest enterprises to the most ambitious startups—use Stripe to accept payments, grow their revenue, and accelerate new business opportunities. Our mission is to increase the GDP of the internet, and we have a staggering amount of work ahead. That means you have an unprecedented opportunity to put the global economy within everyone’s reach while doing the most important work of your career. 

About the team 

Before Stripe, every growing internet platform had a payments team. Today, every growing internet platform has an Identity team. Stripe Identity is building a service that enables merchants to seamlessly verify their customers while scaling globally with ease. We believe Identity is a core piece of economic infrastructure for online businesses, just like payments. 

Great Identity solutions not only enable complex, highly regulated businesses to work with ease on the internet, but they also effectively keep merchants and consumers in the internet economy. Stripe Identity’s mission is to become the easiest way to verify a real-world identity on the internet.
