- thibaut_barrere 13y agoThey are already available in France (and apparently Ireland too): https://support.stripe.com/questions/what-countries-does-stripe-support https://support.stripe.com/questions/what-countries-does-str...
- pc 13y agoWe're in private beta in France and Ireland. (I work at Stripe.) We try to make sure that things are very comprehensively tested before we allow public signups.
- Concours 13y agoCan't wait to see you come to Germany, any plans for the beta yet ?
- collision 13y agoWe're working on it.
- workhere-io 13y agoHow about Scandinavia - are those countries in the pipeline?
- thairu 13y agoYup. We are working on bringing Stripe to Scandinavia. Please sign up to be notified when we launch at https://stripe.com/global https://stripe.com/global
- conradfr 13y agoGreat news, although I work now for a somewhat competitor. Anyway I do more and more api for my personal projects (thanks to AngularJS and mobile) and the Stripe api & docs have been my main inspirations and technical references.
- toretore 13y agoI'd really be interested in knowing why it's not "Stripe EU" instead. What sort of problems they had trying to do that, and what needs improvement for that to become reality.
- pc 13y agoMostly because there's a bunch of subtlety around bank transfers and identity verification. The EU simplifies a lot of the regulatory framework but the actual operations still entail a decent amount of heterogeneity from country-to-country.
- toretore 13y agoSo it's because of technical/operational and not regulatory or legal problems? What about SEPA, or is that just for "regular people"?
- markokrajnc 13y agoI don't know for sure, but I guess the credit ratings are not available in all EU countries. ("Paperwork" is different in every EU country.)
