Stripe has rolled out Stablecoin Financial Accounts as part of its largest platform update to date.
The new accounts let businesses in over 100 countries store, send, and receive funds in dollar-denominated stablecoins like USDC, using both crypto and traditional payment rails such as ACH and SEPA.
Unveiled at the Stripe Sessions 2025 conference, the update also includes a USDC corporate card on the Visa network, developed in partnership with Bridge.
While the card allows businesses to spend from their stablecoin balances, Stripe has not specified whether conversions occur instantly at checkout.
Across its payments suite, Stripe introduced Orchestration, a tool for managing multiple payment providers, and upgraded its Optimised Checkout Suite with AI-driven personalisation.
The platform now supports more than 125 payment methods globally, including Pix and UPI.
Stripe also launched Scripts and Workflows—new tools that let businesses customise and automate billing processes—and expanded its tax solution to cover 102 countries with automated registration and filing.
For platforms, Stripe Connect now offers “networked onboarding” for existing users and a redesigned dashboard with better visibility into connected accounts and support cases.
Stripe Issuing previewed a new consumer credit card program, with expanded global issuing in over 40 countries.
Other updates include Stripe Profiles for business identity, Stripe Verified for compliance support, the Order Intents API for agentic commerce, and an AI-powered dashboard assistant.
A new sandbox environment and the Stripe Startups program were also announced to support early-stage companies.
