Key findings
The state of global payments compliance
Automating payments compliance processes from onboarding to account monitoring can help your platform grow globally faster and more safely.
- Nearly 67% of platform leaders plan to expand internationally by 2026, but they struggle to manage compliance at a global scale.
- Platforms with manual compliance processes are 29.1% less likely to expand internationally, compared to platforms with automated compliance processes.
- 30.5% of platforms surveyed say that Know Your Customer (KYC) checks cause the most frequent delays during onboarding.
- 86% of platforms using Stripe’s networked onboarding enable businesses to accept payments within 1 day.
I love that we can rely on Stripe Connect’s expertise in handling Know Your Customer (KYC), compliance, and other checks to ensure we bring venues onboard quickly and safely. We could have built that ourselves, but it wouldn’t have been efficient and it would have taken focus away from our core business. I trust Stripe to handle compliance for us.
Our ambition was to be everywhere, and with Stripe, we’ve made significant strides in that direction. Handling payments in so many countries could have been a nightmare, but Stripe made it feel like a walk in the park.
