- colanderman 9y agoApparently they do [1]; browsers just choose not to show this. Though I don't know that most people could tell you in which state Stripe is registered, even if they know it's probably Delaware. Heck I think a lot of people could look at the state name, say "hunh, I didn't realize Stripe was a Montana company!", and proceed to be phished.
