Introduction to banking-as-a-service

How it works

The fastest way for your platform to become a fintech

Stripe is the most streamlined way to build financial service offerings on your platform. We handle the fundamentals – such as back-end compliance requirements, bank partner negotiations, and infrastructure – so you can focus on creating tailored experiences for your customers.

A complete suite of financial products

Stripe enables you to build the services you need without integrating multiple technology partners – whether for payments, loans, financial accounts, cards, or all of the above.

Developer-friendly APIs

We provide intuitive APIs, docs, and integration processes so that you can get started without significant upfront – or ongoing – investment or resources.

Scale and reliability

Stripe enables payments for millions of businesses – including many of the world’s biggest platforms. The same reliable infrastructure powers our BaaS offerings.

Streamlined compliance

We make it easy for you to onboard and support customers while we handle complicated back-end compliance requirements.

Case studies

Shopify uses Stripe to provide merchants with flexibility and control

Shopify is a leading global commerce company, providing trusted tools to start, grow, market, and manage a retail business of any size. With Shopify Balance, merchants can manage their funds, pay bills and track expenses. This gives them easier access to financial products and greater control over their business.

Challenge

Financial services are an essential part of running a business, but most banking services aren’t designed for the needs of independent business owners.

Solution

Shopify Balance offers Shopify merchants a fast, simple, and integrated way to manage their funds. Built on Stripe Issuing and Treasury, Shopify Balance gives users access to critical products – all within Shopify.

Products

By building across Stripe’s payments and banking-as-a-service infrastructure, we’ve been able to give Shopify merchants access to critical financial products that meet their needs, such as faster access to funds and rewards, helping them further grow their businesses.

Jobber works with Stripe to launch financial services

Jobber is a field services software company that helps home service professionals streamline and automate daily operations, from scheduling jobs to invoicing customers.

Challenge

Jobber wanted to enable growth for the home service professionals on its platform by helping them get paid faster and access financing.

Solution

With Stripe, Jobber professionals are able to accept both online and in-person payments, while also getting paid in hours instead of weeks. Stripe also helps Jobber’s professionals solve cash-flow constraints by providing access to flexible financing and capital within the Jobber platform.

Products

Without Stripe, it would have taken significant time and engineering effort to offer these resources to our customers. The financial infrastructure Stripe offers is incredibly valuable to Jobber.

BloomNation uses Stripe to help independent florists achieve 40% annual growth

BloomNation is an online marketplace that enables over 3,500 florists to reach more customers with their bespoke floral designs. It allows anyone to discover and send handcrafted floral arrangements across the US, and also gives independent florists a complete platform to grow their business, including tools for marketing, payments, order management, and more.

Challenge

Founded in 2011, BloomNation was using Balanced Payments to run its marketplace payments. When that company shut down in 2015, BloomNation needed a replacement to continue powering its rapid rate of growth, and offered a speedy transition to switch over.

Solution

With Stripe Connect onboarding, BloomNation can seamlessly and instantly approve new florists for payments. With Stripe Capital, BloomNation was able to stand up an embedded lending experience for its customers in days to relieve cash constraints and help them invest in growth.

If we didn’t have Stripe Issuing and Treasury, this entire vision wouldn’t have been realistic or possible. Stripe’s offerings enabled us to build a set of features that we couldn’t have built with anyone else.
