SINGAPORE—Stripe today shared new tools to accelerate the global expansion of Asian businesses, from expanded multi-currency treasury capabilities and new payment methods, to the ability to sell domestically in dozens of countries without a local entity.

Ten years on from Stripe’s first launch in Asia, more than 80,000 businesses and solopreneurs in Singapore now use Stripe, including global builders like Supabase, serving customers in more than 150 countries, and Manus, which sells into more than 200 countries. More than six in ten Singapore-based users sell internationally.

Sarita Singh, regional head and managing director for Southeast Asia, Greater China and South Korea said: “We’ve been partnering with Asia’s internet pioneers for a decade and the newest generation are growing at unprecedented speed. We’re expanding our core global infrastructure to accelerate them further.”

Sell globally, like a local

Asian businesses selling digital products can now easily sell to customers in 195 countries while Stripe handles indirect tax, disputes, fraud protection, customer support and more, through Stripe Managed Payments. Businesses also benefit from higher payment success rates as Stripe routes transactions through its own local entities around the world. Fast-growing Singaporean businesses like Ahrefs and Razer are already accelerating their global expansion with Stripe Managed Payments.

Businesses on Stripe can also automatically localise pricing for international customers with Adaptive Pricing, which drives an average 17.8% uplift in cross-border revenue.

Businesses with customers around the world need to meet those customers with the payment methods they prefer. Businesses on Stripe can now accept cross-border payments with Samsung Pay, MoMo, GCash, Touch ’n Go, PromptPay, and TrueMoney. And in Q4 Stripe will begin enabling ShopeePay and SPayLater across Southeast Asia.

Run your global financial operations on Stripe

For too many businesses, the international revenues they earn arrive slowly and are reduced by FX fees. When businesses want to use that money to make payments across borders, they face more delays and fees. Stripe is solving this with new money management capabilities. Singapore businesses can already hold balances in 10 currencies and instantly convert between them. In early 2027, Stripe will bring the full Stripe Treasury experience to Singapore, adding the ability to spend from balances and pay recipients anywhere in the world directly from the Stripe Dashboard.

With Stripe Treasury, revenue from international sales will be available instantly for paying suppliers, contractors, and third parties in nearly 100 countries with just an email address. Businesses will be able to receive and store funds in SGD, USD, AUD, GBP and EUR.

The announcements came at Stripe Tour Singapore, where thousands of the region’s most ambitious business leaders gathered to discuss opportunities for accelerated growth.

SYDNEY – Stripe, the programmable financial services company, today launched Stripe Treasury in Australia.

Stripe Treasury gives businesses a single platform to accept payments, hold and convert funds and pay recipients anywhere in the world directly from the Stripe Dashboard.

Global businesses often rely on a patchwork of bank accounts and payment providers to move funds between currencies. They typically have to wait days before their incoming revenues settle and are available to fuel their business. Stripe Treasury allows global businesses to manage incoming and outgoing flows across currencies from a single account, reducing settlement delays and unnecessary currency conversions.

Instead of waiting the typical two days for funds to settle in an external bank account, businesses running on Stripe Treasury gain instant access to revenue for paying suppliers, contractors and third parties in nearly 100 countries with just an email address. Businesses can receive and hold funds in AUD, USD, GBP and EUR, and instantly convert between 10 supported currencies including HKD, SGD and NZD.

"Tens of thousands of new Australian businesses and solopreneurs are joining Stripe each month and many have global ambitions from the get-go," Karl Durrance, Stripe's managing director for Australia and New Zealand said. "These businesses need infrastructure that's able to support them as they expand internationally, which is why we've launched Stripe Treasury."

Stripe already powers core financial operations for businesses of every size in Australia – from accepting payments and managing subscriptions to preventing fraud and selling internationally. Now, with Stripe Treasury, businesses can hold, convert and move money from the same platform they use to grow revenue. This gives Australian companies a unified financial foundation to operate domestically and globally.

Later this year, Australian platforms on Stripe will be able to offer embedded financial accounts to their customers with Treasury for Platforms. Today, US platforms like Squarespace allow businesses to hold balances, earn rewards and access spend cards directly from their websites using Treasury for Platforms.

More new products for Australian businesses shared at Stripe Tour Sydney

When a business makes an international sale to a customer in a country where it does not have a local entity, the payment is around 5 percentage points more likely to be rejected by that customer's card issuer. Starting this month, Stripe Managed Payments will begin domestically processing businesses' international sales from where the customer is paying, through Stripe's own local entities, to deliver higher authorisation rates. Stripe Managed Payments handles localised checkout, indirect tax compliance, fraud, disputes and customer support on behalf of businesses to support global expansion. Australian businesses can also automatically show customers prices in their local currency with Adaptive Pricing, which has delivered an average 17.8% increase in cross-border revenue.

Stripe is also helping businesses adapt their fraud defences for the AI era. In Australia alone, Stripe Radar prevented more than AU$2.4 billion worth of fraudulent transactions in 2025. Stripe Radar now protects against fraud across all payment methods to help combat new AI-era threats including multi-account abuse, free trial fraud and token theft.

In 2025, Stripe Billing powered over 10 million active subscriptions for Australian businesses. It now includes Metronome's usage-based billing, which measures AI token consumption in real-time and lets businesses charge customers for exactly what they use.

These updates were shared at Stripe Tour Sydney, the company's annual internet economy conference in Australia.

Settle payments in more markets and currencies

The fastest-growing companies on Stripe are going global earlier than their predecessors, with cross-border payment volume growing over 40% every year since 2018. But that growth often comes with the expensive and complex operational challenge of managing multiple currencies.

Businesses that sell globally face several problems.

First, they fall into the double foreign exchange (FX) trap, paying conversion fees twice: once to convert payments into their home currency, and again when converting funds to pay payroll, vendors, or operating expenses in foreign currencies.

Second, when a conversion is necessary, businesses face delays and hidden markups, which makes the total cost of FX difficult to predict and manage.

Lastly, most businesses stitch together multiple providers for payments, FX, banking, and payouts, which creates even more overhead, errors, and delays.

Today, we’re announcing two upgrades to make it easy for global businesses to manage FX entirely on Stripe: we’re expanding multicurrency settlement to more markets and currencies, and we’re introducing the ability to convert currencies instantly—all on Stripe.

We introduced multicurrency settlement two years ago to help businesses settle payments in the same currencies their customers use to pay.

Since launching, we’ve seen steady demand and growth:

• Between 2024 and 2025, the number of businesses on Stripe using multicurrency settlement grew 35%, and the number settling in four or more currencies doubled.
• Fast-growing companies are adopting multicurrency settlement at an even higher rate: businesses on Stripe that grew by 40% annually over the past two years were more than twice as likely to use multicurrency settlement than those growing by 10% or less.

To build on the demand we’ve seen, we’re expanding settlement currencies across multiple markets. By the end of 2026, businesses in 37 markets—including Australia, Hong Kong, and Singapore—will be able to settle payments earnings in up to 18 currencies, depending on where they operate. This expanded coverage gives businesses more flexibility to keep funds in the currencies they need, whether they’re covering international expenses or sending money to vendors around the world. Check out the roadmap for full details.

Convert currencies instantly on Stripe

Even with multicurrency settlement, businesses have historically had to wait for funds to settle to their external bank account or FX provider before converting them. Now, any business accepting multiple currencies on Stripe can hold and convert those funds through the Stripe Dashboard, API, or on mobile using instant currency conversion.

Instant currency conversion allows businesses to convert funds between 15 currencies at transparent, market-leading pricing, with additional currencies planned for 2026.

Businesses can see rates in real time and convert funds 24/7, without hidden markups embedded in the exchange rate or weekend surcharges. For businesses with more complex currency workflows, the instant currency conversion API can automate conversions. Platforms can also use the API to monetize and distribute currency management capabilities to their merchants.

We’re already seeing businesses use instant currency conversion as part of their regular operating cadence: 50% of businesses convert on multiple occasions within 60 days of their first conversion. Those businesses convert funds every 25 days on average, consistent with monthly payroll cycles and month-end close.

How businesses use Stripe to reduce FX costs and simplify workflows

Together, multicurrency settlement and instant currency conversion let businesses settle, store, and convert funds in the same place they already accept payments.

Businesses like Canva and Voodoo have high-volume multicurrency needs for paying out vendors, payroll, and operating expenses across markets. They use Stripe to avoid the double FX trap and simplify currency management. Global platforms and marketplaces like Kustom and Turo use these currency tools with Stripe Connect to manage cross-border payouts more efficiently while staying compliant and out of the flow of funds.

Voodoo, the French mobile gaming company behind titles like Monster Survivors and Mob Control, earns more than half its revenue from US customers. Historically, every dollar earned had to be converted back to euros, adding FX costs at scale. With multicurrency settlement, Voodoo now settles all incoming US payments in euros—avoiding FX fees while continuing to scale its business in a key market.

What’s next

View our roadmap to see where multicurrency settlement and instant currency conversion are expanding through 2026 and 2027. Here’s what’s coming by the end of this year:

• Automated conversions: We’ll give you the ability to automate conversions from the Stripe Dashboard.
• Advanced API workflows: We’ll expand access to the API, which supports custom and advanced workflows, especially for platforms that want to offer currency conversion to their merchants. Request access to the private preview now.
• Currency management for platforms: We’ll improve platform distribution and monetization of multicurrency settlement through upgrades to the platform pricing tool in the Dashboard.
• Expansion of storage and payout capabilities: When multicurrency settlement and instant currency conversion are coupled with Stripe Treasury and Stripe Global Payouts, businesses can facilitate all their global money management needs on Stripe.

Access instant, 24/7 bank-funded stablecoin payments with Ramp Bill Pay.

Hold, grow, and move stablecoins with Ramp Stablecoin Accounts.

SAN FRANCISCO AND DUBLIN—Stripe, the programmable financial services company, is powering two new stablecoin products from Ramp.

Ramp is adding stablecoins as a payment option in Bill Pay, allowing customers who don’t own crypto to benefit from the instant, inexpensive, and 24/7 nature of stablecoins—without ever touching the stablecoins themselves. Ramp customers can now pay bills with stablecoin payments funded from an external bank account, with Stripe's stablecoin orchestration platform Bridge converting the dollars and sending the funds to the recipient's wallet.

Ramp is also launching stablecoin accounts allowing users to hold balances, pay anywhere in the world at any hour, and earn up to 3.25% in rewards. Stripe’s crypto wallet infrastructure provider, Privy, securely stores customer balances as US dollar-denominated stablecoins. Ramp customers simply see a single balance across stablecoin and fiat accounts displayed as dollars. Transactions settle instantly, any time of day or night, meaning a US business could pay a supplier based in India in minutes, outside of regular banking hours.

“For Ramp customers, a dollar is a dollar, whether it's stablecoin or traditional fiat currency,” Andrew Chapello, product at Ramp, said. “Stripe’s stablecoin APIs make it easy to deliver that experience to our customers. Businesses can now hold and send stablecoins without any prior crypto expertise.”

Ramp Stablecoin Accounts reconcile every transaction with customers’ existing accounting systems. One Ramp beta customer found that stablecoin payments made up roughly 10% of its vendor payments but consumed 50% of its accounts payable time. Ramp Stablecoin Accounts are built to solve this problem.

“The world’s fastest-growing fintechs, like Ramp, are building on internet-native rails with stablecoins,” Henri Stern, CEO and cofounder of Privy, said. “We are proud to see Ramp use Stripe’s stablecoin stack to provide incredible products that uniquely solve their customers’ challenges globally.”
