1. Stripe Treasury for Platforms Services.
These terms (“Stripe Treasury for Platforms - Platform Terms”) supplement the General Terms, the Stripe Financial Services Terms, and the Stripe Connect Infrastructure Terms, and govern User’s ability to offer the Stripe Treasury for Platforms Services to Connected Accounts.
