### About Stripe

### About The Team

The payments landscape is changing rapidly and our team is at the forefront of this change. Depending on where you live, you may be used to paying with a credit card (United States), iDeal (Netherlands) or UPI (India), amongst hundreds of other global payment methods. It turns out how you pay is increasingly dependent on where you are and what business you're buying from. The Local Payment Methods team is responsible for Stripe's fastest growing payments business. We build payment methods that help businesses drastically increase their revenues and grow their business. Undergirding all of this we also build the platform that allows us to build and distribute payment methods at scale
