Instantly provision cards, manage your company's spending in real-time, get automatic credit increases, and get cash back on the categories where you spent the most. It's the corporate card we wanted for ourselves.
Last week Stripe launched Stripe Capital to compete with Clearbanc and other alternative lending solutions. Now they're launching a competitor to Brex and other corporate credit card services.
When does Stripe introduce savings and checking accounts to become a full-featured bank? 🤔

@rrhoover my bet would be by late 2021 they're a full featured bank
It's a shame it is limited to US citizens. The cashback looks great and all associated benefits look incredible. That's another product that makes me regret to not be a US citizen!
@ouaibou I don't see anything about it only being for US citizens. I founded a US company but am not a US citizen.

@edwinwee please bring it to AU next! We're similar enough to US regulatory environment to be a relatively easy localisation, we have a fat, lazy banking industry that needs disrupting and we're waaaaaay easier to localise for than the EU!
Brex is doing incredible offer at this point a stronger solution, but interesting to see they moved into that space, also SVB offer the innovator card.
@jqvist what about Brex makes it a stronger solution?

"The Stripe Corporate Card is currently a beta program open to US-based companies."
This doesn't mean that non-US residents or non-US citizens can't open a Stripe Corporate Code. Non-US foreigners can still form a US business entity, like an LLC, and get an ITIN and still get a Stripe Corporate Card.
If you're a non-US resident and you're interested in forming an LLC and getting an ITIN so you will be able to get Stripe and get a Stripe Corporate Card, let me know.

I'm sure the provisioning and management tools will be handy, and the UX will be excellent like everything Stripe, but you're giving up cashback if you go this route. Capital One's Spark Cash offers unlimited 2% cash back on everything - not just limited categories, and other cards from other issuers offer up to 5% in specific categories.
Plenty of reasons to consider this card, but cashback isn't really one of them.

I love that Stripe is starting to do more business financial services. Their UX and founder friendliness FAR exceed that of any bank I've ever seen.

Separate statement for bills or does card balance get auto-deducted from Stripe balance? @edwinwee
@henrynahum You pay your bill independently. Most people told us that they'd prefer this credit approach first (it gets a little messy from an accounting perspective: your Stripe balance is revenue, and commingling revenue with expenses would be confusing).
We are thinking of ways to make this possible, so stay tuned!
@henrynahum@edwinwee The fact that I don't have payments being deducted from my Stripe balance is a principle reason I moved one of my online stores from Paypal to Stripe.
Receiving a $USD200 payment, having a €49.25 payment come out of the account and then transferring the balance out in $AUD makes for some really difficult accounting.
Awesome - another product limited to US citizens. Why don’t they focus their time and energy on adding support for more countries? Not even all the countries in the European Union are supported 🤦♂️ and now this...great.
@alexjpanagis I don't see anything about it only being for US citizens. I founded a US company but am not a US citizen.

@_jacksmith yeah well not everybody does that. My company is registered in Cyprus and Stripe doesn't support companies in that country yet. Of course, I could've used Stripe Atlas to combat that problem but I decided against it so that i can register the company with PricewaterhouseCoopers (one of the world's most well-known professional services firms)
@alexjpanagis ok, well you can use it if you re-incorporate in the usa ever. would be pretty audacious to expect them to have a license for such banking in Cyprus from launch
Report
@_jacksmith It's not the card that I'm talking about - it's the payment gateway, which is available in Greece already. I'm just saying that their priority should be focusing on supporting new countries (especially those in the EU)...
I don't think it's audacious to expect to be able to use the Stripe payment gateway just because the co. is registered in Cyprus. After all, it is the best payment gateway and I'm being forced to go with alternatives which simply aren't all while Stripe is here launching a corporate card instead of supporting new countries.
