Stripe Financial Services Terms

Last modified: September 28, 2026

1. Stripe Financial Services.

These terms (“Stripe Financial Services Terms”) supplement the General Terms and apply to a Service if incorporated by reference into the applicable Services Terms. The Regional Terms in Section 5 (Regional Terms) of these Stripe Financial Services Terms apply based on User’s Stripe Account Country. Capitalized terms that are not defined in these Stripe Financial Services Terms have the same meanings given to them in the General Terms.

2. User's Obligations.

2.1 User’s Business.

User must be a business (including sole proprietor), governmental or public sector entity, or non-profit organization, and must be located in the same country where Stripe is providing the Services to User, or in a country approved by Stripe with respect to the Services. User’s use of the Services is subject to approval by Stripe.

2.2 User Information.

To access the Services, and upon Stripe’s request, User must promptly provide complete and accurate User Information to Stripe in a form satisfactory to Stripe, and must keep the User Information in its Stripe Account current. User must promptly update its Stripe Account with any changes affecting User, including changes affecting its business activities, Representatives, beneficial owners, and principals. User also must promptly notify Stripe and provide updated User Information if (a) User experiences or anticipates experiencing a Change of Control; (b) User experiences or anticipates experiencing a material change in User's business or financial condition, including if User experiences or is likely to experience an Insolvency Event; (c) the regulatory status of the business for which User is using the Services changes, including if it becomes subject, or no longer subject, to regulatory oversight; or (d) a Governmental Authority has notified User that it or its business is the subject of investigative action.

2.3 Information Stripe Obtains.

User authorizes Stripe to obtain information about User and its business from Stripe’s service providers and other third parties, including credit reporting agencies, banking partners and information bureaus, for the purposes of this Agreement. This information may include User's, or User's Representative’s, name, addresses, credit history, banking relationships, and financial history. User must authorize and direct those third parties to compile and provide this information to Stripe.

2.4 Financial Providers.

User must comply with all Financial Provider Terms that apply to User's use of the Services. If there is any inconsistency between any provision of this Agreement and the Financial Provider Terms, the applicable Financial Provider Terms will prevail to the extent of the inconsistency. The Financial Provider Terms may be amended from time to time, and User’s continued use of the applicable Services constitutes User’s agreement to those amended terms. To the extent Law and applicable Financial Provider Terms permit, Stripe and its Affiliates are not liable for failures or delays in performance by any third party Financial Provider, including as a result of (a) its failure to settle a Transaction to Stripe or its Affiliates; or (b) its default, insolvency, or bankruptcy.

2.5 Assessed Fines.

User is responsible for all Assessed Fines and must reimburse Stripe for its payment of Assessed Fines, except to the extent the Assessed Fines result from Stripe’s negligence, fraud, willful misconduct, or breach of this Agreement.

3. Stripe’s Rights and Obligations.

3.1 Holding of Funds.

Unless stated otherwise in Service Terms, Stripe will own, and User will not receive, any interest earned on funds held by Stripe or an applicable Affiliate. In addition, to the extent Law and applicable Financial Provider Terms (if any) permit, Stripe and its Affiliates may invest funds they hold in liquid investments. Stripe or its applicable Affiliates will (a) hold these investments separate from investments made with their own funds; and (b) own, and User will not receive, any earnings from these investments. Stripe’s and its Affiliates’ investment of funds will not affect or delay Stripe’s obligations under this Agreement.

3.2 Dormant Accounts.

If User has a positive account balance that remains inactive for an extended period, Stripe may be required to deliver the funds to the appropriate Governmental Authority as abandoned property. However, if Law requires, Stripe or its applicable Affiliate will attempt to notify User before doing so.

3.3 Reserve.

(a) Where permitted in the Service Terms, Stripe may establish a Reserve and will notify User of the Reserve terms (the “Reserve Notice”). The Reserve will be held by Stripe in a Reserve Account and may be used to offset amounts owed to Stripe Entities in accordance with this Agreement. User acknowledges that Stripe has sole control over the Reserve and that User has no legal or equitable right or interest in any earnings generated by any Reserve, and is not entitled to draw funds from any Reserve. Stripe will release to User any funds forming part of the Reserve only if, and to the extent that, Stripe is satisfied that the relevant risk exposure has been mitigated. This section does not limit Stripe’s other rights or remedies under this Agreement.

(b) Stripe may change the Reserve terms if Stripe believes that there is, or is likely to be, a change in the underlying risk presented by the User Group’s use of the Services; or as a Financial Provider requires.

(c) Stripe may fund and replenish the Reserve through any or all of:

(i) using funds User provides upon Stripe’s request;

(ii) using funds that a Stripe Entity owes to any User Entity for Transactions that the User Group accepts through the Stripe Payments Services; or

(iii) debiting the User Bank Accounts.

(d) If User’s Stripe Account balance becomes negative, then, without limiting Stripe’s other rights or remedies under this Agreement, a portion of the Reserve equal to the amount of the negative balance is automatically deemed to be applied by Stripe to offset the negative Stripe Account balance (thereby becoming the sole property of Stripe), and the Reserve must be promptly replenished in accordance with Section 3.3(c) above.

3.4 Security Interest.

User assigns and transfers to, and grants to, Stripe (as agent for each other Stripe Entity, and for the benefit of itself and the other Stripe Entities (collectively, the “Secured Parties”)) a security interest in all of User’s right, title and interest (if any) in and to the following property, whether now existing or hereafter arising (collectively, the “Collateral”), as collateral security for the prompt and complete payment and performance when due of all obligations owing to any Secured Party (the “Secured Obligations”):

(a) all funds owed to User for Transactions (including funds owed to User for future Transactions and all funds that Stripe holds on User’s behalf);

(b) all rights to receive credits and payments under this Agreement; and

(c) any Reserve and any beneficial interest in the Reserve Accounts and any funds held in them.

User authorizes and consents to Stripe giving notice of the Collateral to any relevant party who may need to be notified under any local law. User must execute all documents and provide all authorizations that Stripe reasonably requests for the purpose of creating, perfecting (including filing relevant documents), maintaining and enforcing this security interest, even if the request is made after User’s applicable balance with Stripe becomes negative.

Except as permitted by this section, User will not assign, grant, create, incur, assume, agree to create, or permit to exist, any security interest, lien, pledge, hypothec, encumbrance or charge in or over the Reserve, the Reserve Accounts, or any funds held in them.

3.5 Credit Support Requirement.

Stripe may require User to provide a guarantee (including a personal, parent or bank guarantee) or letter of credit in a form and substance that satisfies Stripe. In this event, Stripe will inform User of the amount of and the reasons for the requirement. If User is unable to satisfy the requirement when Stripe requires User to do so, Stripe may suspend or terminate User’s access to the Services.

3.6 Negative Balances.

If User’s Stripe Account balance (or the Stripe Account balance of any User Entity) is negative, or does not contain funds sufficient to pay amounts that User (or a User Entity) owes to a Stripe Entity or Customers, then without limiting Stripe’s rights under Sections 7.2 and 7.5 of the General Terms, Stripe may debit the User Bank Accounts or the User Bank Account of any User Entities (pursuant to the debit authorization granted by that User Entity) by the amount necessary to collect, and pay out to Customers if applicable, the amounts User owes.

3.7 PCI-DSS.

Stripe provides the Services in a manner consistent with PCI-DSS requirements that apply to Stripe.

3.8 Use of Fraud Signals.

If Stripe provides User with information regarding the possibility or likelihood that a transaction may be fraudulent or that an individual cannot be verified, Stripe may incorporate User’s subsequent actions and inactions into Stripe’s fraud and verification model, for the purpose of identifying future potential fraud. Please see the [Stripe Privacy Center](https://stripe.com/privacy-center/legal) for more information on [Stripe’s collection of end-customer data](https://stripe.com/privacy-center/legal#radar-business-users) for this purpose and for [guidance on how to notify Customers](https://stripe.com/privacy-center/legal#notice-end-customers).

Stripe Payments

Last modified: September 28, 2026

1. Stripe Payments Services.

These terms (“Stripe Payments Terms”) supplement the General Terms and the Stripe Financial Services Terms, which together govern the use of the Stripe Payments Services. The Regional Terms in Section 15 (Regional Terms) of these Stripe Payments Terms apply based on User’s Stripe Account Country. Capitalized terms that are not defined in these Stripe Payments Terms have the same meanings given to them in the General Terms or the Stripe Financial Services Terms.

2. User’s Business.

User is solely responsible for (a) the nature and quality of the goods and services User provides (or if User accepts donations, the intended use of those donations); and (b) providing support to Customers regarding all issues related to User’s goods and services and business activities, including delivery, refunds, returns, and for all other ancillary services User provides to Customers. User must offer each Customer a complete and accurate receipt for each Transaction. If, in the capacity as User’s agent, Stripe or its Affiliate provides a Customer with a receipt for a Transaction, that receipt is binding on User. User is solely responsible for verifying each Customer’s identity, determining a Customer’s eligibility and authority to complete a Transaction, and all other issues related to User’s goods and services and business activities.

3. Payment Methods and Transactions; Payment Method Rules and Payment Method Terms.

3.1 Acceptance and Use Requirements.

User may accept payment from Customers using various Payment Methods by submitting Transactions to Stripe through the Stripe Technology. User must comply with Payment Method acceptance and use requirements which may be incorporated into the Stripe API and other Stripe Technology described in the Documentation, or set out in the Payment Method Rules, the Payment Method Terms, or both. Using the Stripe Payments Services to accept a Payment Method or submit a Transaction constitutes User’s acceptance of the applicable Payment Method Rules and Payment Method Terms. Payment Method Rules and Payment Method Terms are Financial Provider Terms for purposes of this Agreement.

3.2 Acquirer Terms.

Some Payment Method Providers require that their Payment Methods be accepted only through a Payment Method Acquirer, which may be Stripe, a Stripe Affiliate, or a Financial Provider. Some of these Payment Method Providers, such as Visa and Mastercard in certain countries, require User to enter into Acquirer Terms, which (a) will identify the Payment Method Acquirer responsible for Transactions using that Payment Method Provider’s Payment Method, (b) will establish a direct contractual relationship and terms between User and the Payment Method Acquirer, and (c) may include additional agreements that User must accept in order to accept Transactions via that Payment Method Acquirer, as those Acquirer Terms further describe. The Acquirer Terms, which are Financial Provider Terms for purposes of this Agreement, describe the Payment Methods to which they apply, and when they go into effect. By using the Stripe Payments Services to submit certain Card Network Transactions, User agrees to the Acquirer Terms for the applicable Payment Method Acquirers, if any, listed on the [Acquirer Disclosure](https://stripe.com/legal/acquirer-disclosure) available on the Stripe Legal Page.

3.3 Payment Method Providers and Payment Method Acquirers.

Payment Method Providers and Payment Method Acquirers are Financial Providers. Payment Method Providers may enforce the terms of this Agreement directly against User with respect to that Payment Method Provider’s Payment Method(s). A Payment Method Provider or Payment Method Acquirer may terminate User’s ability to accept a Payment Method at any time and for any reason, in which case User will no longer be able to accept that Payment Method under this Agreement. Stripe may add or remove Payment Method Providers or Payment Method Acquirers at any time. Stripe may, with notice to User, change Payment Methods in User's integration of the Services.

3.4 Card Transactions.

(a) Card Network Rules. When accepting payment card Transactions, User must comply with all applicable Card Network Rules, including the [Visa Rules](https://usa.visa.com/content/dam/VCOM/download/about-visa/visa-rules-public.pdf) specified by Visa, the [Mastercard Rules](https://www.mastercard.us/content/dam/public/mastercardcom/na/global-site/documents/mastercard-rules.pdf) specified by Mastercard, and the [American Express Merchant Operating Guide](https://icm.aexp-static.com/content/dam/gms/en_us/optblue/us-mog.pdf) specified by American Express. User must not split payment for a single transaction into multiple Transactions except as the Payment Method Rules, Payment Method Terms and Acquirer Terms expressly permit. Each Card Network may amend its Card Network Rules at any time without notice to User.

(b) Location and Identification. User may only accept payment card Transactions in locations authorized by Stripe and the applicable Card Network. The Card Networks may request information and certification relating to User’s location, and make a final determination of User’s location. User must prominently and clearly disclose User’s name, address, and country location to Customers before Customers are prompted to provide payment card information. User must ensure that Customers understand that User is responsible for the Transactions. User must not act as or hold itself out as a payment facilitator, intermediary or aggregator, or otherwise resell the Stripe Payments Services.

(c) Use of Cash. User must not provide cash refunds for a completed Transaction made with a payment card, unless required by Law. User must not use Stripe Payments Services for any transaction for a cash disbursement or purchase of cash vouchers without approval from Stripe. User must not permit Customers to use payment cards to disburse cash to a third party, except to the extent the Card Network Rules permit.

(d) Debt Repayment. User must not accept payment card Transactions (i) to collect or refinance existing debt that User has deemed uncollectible or that is uncollectible by Law; (ii) for previous card charges; or (iii) to collect a dishonored check. Debt repayment is only permitted when performed in compliance with the Card Network Rules.

(e) Surcharging. The Card Network Rules limit User’s ability to (i) discriminate by payment card brand or type and (ii) charge surcharges or other fees, or Taxes for acceptance of payment cards. Except to the extent the Card Network Rules or Law permits, User must not charge surcharges, other fees, or Taxes for accepting payment cards. If surcharging is permitted, User must comply with all applicable notice or registration requirements imposed by Stripe or a Payment Method Provider or other Financial Provider and must collect surcharge amounts only as part of the submitted amount of the Transaction.

(f) Use of Payment Card Account Data. User must not request or use a payment card account number for any purpose other than for a Transaction. User may only use payment card account numbers and payment card Transaction data in compliance with Law, the Card Network Rules and this Agreement. User must not store the card verification value (or similar security code) data after card authorization.

(g) Waiver of Dispute Rights. User must not require, as a condition to card acceptance, a Customer to waive a right to dispute a Transaction.

(h) Non-Disparagement. User must not disparage any Card Network or any of their services, or submit any Transaction that harms any Card Network.

(i) Audit and Forensic Investigations. A Card Network may initiate audits and forensic investigations in accordance with its Card Network Rules. User must fully cooperate with these audits and forensic investigations. This subsection (i) will survive termination of this Agreement.

(j) Security Programs. User must comply with the Card Networks’ security standards, requirements and programs (e.g., the Visa Account Information Security Program), and all Card Network Rules governing the privacy, protection, and User’s use, storage and disclosure of data.

(k) Limited Acceptance. Each Card Network may allow User to accept only a subset of that Card Network’s cards, in which case User must comply with the Card Network Rules that govern limited acceptance.

(l) Minimum or Maximum Amounts. User must not establish minimum or maximum amounts for payment card Transactions, except as the Card Network Rules permit.

(m) Forms. User must not require any Customer to complete a form that includes the Customer’s signature or any Payment Method Account Details displayed in plain view when mailed.

(n) Acceptance. If User accepts payment cards, then User must indicate that fact wherever User informs its Customers of the Payment Methods User accepts, including on User’s website.

(o) Estimated Amounts. If User wishes to obtain authorization for the estimated amount of a Transaction, User must obtain its Customer’s consent to the estimated amount before requesting the authorization. As soon as User becomes aware of the full amount to be captured, User must submit the request to capture funds. If the full amount of the charge exceeds the amount for which User obtained an authorization, User must obtain a new authorization for the full amount.

3.5 American Express Conversion – Only Applicable to the American Express Card Network.

If User’s American Express Transaction volume exceeds the applicable threshold amount set by American Express, American Express may convert User to a direct American Express merchant. As a direct American Express merchant, User and American Express will enter into a separate agreement, which will govern User’s acceptance of American Express payment cards, and User and American Express must directly agree to User’s pricing and other fees payable for American Express Transaction processing. Stripe will continue to process User’s American Express Transactions in accordance with this Agreement, except that Stripe will incorporate the new pricing and fees into the applicable Stripe fees.

3.6 Data Sharing.

Stripe may share information about User’s Stripe Account, including User Information, with Payment Method Providers and Payment Method Acquirers as Stripe believes necessary to verify User’s eligibility to use the Stripe Payments Services, establish any necessary accounts or credit with Financial Providers, monitor Transactions and other activity, conduct risk management and compliance reviews, and take any other actions as may be necessary to enable Stripe to provide the Stripe Payments Services to User. Stripe may also share data, including Protected Data, with Financial Providers, and they may use and share this data, for the purpose of managing a Dispute, assessing User’s compliance with Financial Provider Terms and facilitating Stripe’s, the Payment Method Providers’, and the Payment Method Acquirers’ compliance with Law, Payment Method Rules and Payment Method Terms. User waives its right to bring any claim against Stripe arising from Stripe sharing information about User Group with Payment Method Providers and Payment Method Acquirers, including any inclusion on a terminated merchant list that results from this sharing. Stripe may periodically review User’s Stripe Account information to verify that User is eligible to use the Stripe Payments Services.

3.7 Customer Communication.

When using the Stripe Payments Services User must, with respect to Customers (a) accurately communicate and not misrepresent the nature, amount and currency of each Transaction prior to submitting it for processing; (b) provide a meaningful way to contact User in the event that User’s goods or services are not provided as described; (c) not use the Stripe Payments Services to sell goods or services in a manner that is unfair or deceptive, exposes Customers to unreasonable risks, or does not disclose material terms of a purchase in advance; (d) inform Customers that Stripe and, if applicable, its Affiliates, process Transactions for User; and (e) if User is collecting authorizations electronically, ensure that Customers consent to electronic signatures and delivery of communications in accordance with Law. If User engages in Transactions with Customers who are consumers, User must provide the disclosures Law requires, and must not engage in unfair, deceptive, or abusive acts or practices.

3.8 Requirements Imposed by Payment Method Rules.

As required by the Payment Method Rules (a) as between the parties, each party is responsible for the acts and omissions of its employees, contractors, and agents; (b) unless a Payment Method Provider agrees otherwise, User cannot bind a Payment Method Provider to any contract or obligation, and User must not represent that User can do so; (c) User will meet data quality requirements for relevant categories of Transaction data (as described in the Payment Method Rules) and in respect of that data, User must comply with all technical specifications mandated by the relevant Payment Method Provider; and (d) User must ensure that Transaction data that User collects is processed promptly, accurately and completely. User must maintain and make available to Customers a fair and neutral refund and exchange policy, and clearly explain the process by which Customers can receive a Refund. Payment Method Providers retain all IP Rights in their Marks, and User must not contest any Payment Method Provider’s IP Rights in their Marks. User may only use Payment Method Providers’ Marks in a manner consistent with the Payment Method Rules, and User must promptly comply with all instructions from Stripe regarding use or presentation of Payment Method Providers’ Marks.

3.9 User Responsibility for Transactions.

User is solely responsible for all losses User and the Stripe Parties incur due to erroneous and fraudulent Transactions that occur in connection with User’s use of the Services, including as a result of (a) lost or stolen payment credentials or the details of any accounts that are used to purchase goods or services from User; (b) any changes to the User Bank Accounts; and (c) any unauthorized use of, or access or modification to, User’s Stripe Account.

4. Processing Transactions.

4.1 Payment Authorization Requests.

(a) Processing Transactions. To enable Stripe to process Transactions for User, User authorizes and directs Stripe, its Affiliates, Payment Method Providers, and Payment Method Acquirers to receive and settle, as applicable, settlement funds owed to User through User’s use of the Stripe Payments Services. User may only submit Transactions that Customers authorize, and only after the applicable goods have been shipped or services provided to the Customer; except, User may submit a Transaction before goods have been shipped or services have been provided to the Customer where the Customer has authorized a Transaction for a partial or full prepayment for goods or services to be provided at a future time, or User has obtained the Customer’s consent.

(b) Transaction Responsibility. User must not proceed with a Transaction if (i) User knows or should have known that the Transaction was fraudulent, not authorized by the Customer, or illegal in User or User’s Customer’s jurisdiction; (ii) User receives a response declining to authorize the Transaction; or (iii) the Customer’s ability to use a Payment Method has expired or is no longer valid. User must not submit any Transaction that duplicates a Transaction that is already subject to a Dispute, or was previously disputed and subsequently resolved in User’s favor. Stripe may refuse to process, or condition or suspend any Transaction that Stripe believes (x) may violate this Agreement or other agreement User has with Stripe (if any); (y) is unauthorized, fraudulent or illegal; or (z) exposes, or is likely to expose, Stripe, User or others to unacceptable risk.

4.2 Pooled Accounts.

User appoints Stripe as User’s agent for the limited purpose of directing, receiving, holding and settling funds under this Agreement. All settlement funds Stripe receives for Transactions are combined with settlement funds for other users and held in one or more Pooled Accounts at one or more Financial Providers. Once Stripe receives funds for a Transaction on User’s behalf, the relevant Customer has no further obligation to make payments to User with respect to that Transaction, regardless of whether and when Stripe settles those funds to User. If Stripe does not settle funds due to User under this Agreement, User will have recourse only against Stripe and not the relevant Customer. Stripe will promptly update User’s Stripe Account balance to reflect processed Transactions. User has no rights to earnings generated by funds held in any Pooled Account and is not entitled to draw funds from any Pooled Account and has no rights to direct transactions into and out of any Pooled Accounts.

4.3 Transaction Settlement Funds.

Stripe will transfer settlement funds for Transactions, net of Fees, Disputes, Refunds, Reversals and other amounts owed to Stripe, from the applicable Pooled Account to User in accordance with the applicable settlement method as follows, unless a Payout Delay occurs and affects the transfer initiation, or Stripe exercises a right under this Agreement to withhold or delay the transfer:

(a) Settlement to User Bank Account. Where Stripe settles funds to a User Bank Account, Stripe will do so in accordance with the Payout Schedule. However, Stripe may impose an additional holding period before making the initial settlement to a User Bank Account.

(b) Settlement to a Financial Account. Where Stripe settles funds to User's Financial Account, User will be using Stripe Treasury Services subject to the Stripe Treasury Terms.

(c) Settlement to Stablecoin Partner Wallet. Where funds are settled in Stablecoin to a Stablecoin Partner Wallet, that settlement is performed solely by the applicable Stablecoin Partner. User’s use of a Service that involves settlement in Stablecoin constitutes User’s acceptance of the applicable Stablecoin Partner Terms, which are Financial Provider Terms for the purposes of this Agreement.

4.4 Sending Funds to Third-Party Recipients.

Stripe may offer User the ability to send to a third party funds owed to User as User instructs Stripe (including by sending all or part of the positive balance in User’s Stripe Account to that third-party recipient’s Stripe account or bank account), instead of settling funds to a User Bank Account, or Financial Account or Stablecoin Partner Wallet. If Stripe or an applicable Affiliate sends funds to a third-party recipient which may include the use of a payment intermediary operating on User’s behalf, as this Section 4.4 contemplates, then Stripe’s or its Affiliate’s obligations (and all applicable Payment Method Provider and Payment Method Acquirer obligations) to settle those funds to User are satisfied.

4.5 Settlement Fees.

Stripe is not responsible for any fees imposed by third parties to which Stripe transfers funds, including (i) the banks that hold the User Bank Accounts, Financial Accounts, and the third-party recipient accounts; or (ii) Stablecoin Partners.

4.6 Subscriptions and Invoicing.

If User uses the Services to submit recurring or subscription Transactions, then before submitting the initial Transaction, User must (a) inform each Customer that the relevant Transactions will occur on an ongoing basis; and (b) explain the method for canceling the Customer’s recurring billing or subscription.

4.7 Customer Authorizations.

If User uses the Stripe Payments Services for certain Transactions where the Customer is not present, including MOTO Transactions or Merchant Initiated Transactions, or to store a Customer’s Payment Method for future use, User may be required by Law and Payment Method Rules to obtain the Customer’s authorization (also known as a mandate or agreement for the provision of products or services) and make certain disclosures to the Customer. These disclosures may include when, and under what circumstances, the Customer’s Payment Method will be charged, how the payment amount will be determined, and how future payments can be canceled. User must retain, and provide to Stripe upon request, records demonstrating that User has (a) obtained any required Customer authorizations in compliance with Law and Payment Method Rules; and (b) only submitted Transactions as MOTO Transactions or Merchant Initiated Transactions that User has determined are eligible.

5. Actions Stripe May Take in Processing Transactions.

5.1 Reconciliation and Responsibility.

As between the parties, and except as otherwise required by Law, User is responsible for reviewing its Transaction history for accuracy and completeness and reconciling its Transaction history with the history of transfers from the Pooled Accounts to the User Bank Accounts, Financial Accounts, and Stablecoin Partner Wallet, as applicable. If User finds an error when User reconciles its Transaction history, Stripe will reasonably cooperate with User to investigate and help correct that error as long as User notifies Stripe of the error within 60 days (or longer time period if Law requires) after the error appears in User’s Transaction history. Stripe may correct any errors in User’s Transaction history by crediting or debiting the User Bank Accounts and Financial Accounts, as applicable.

5.2 Disputes; Refunds; Reversals.

Notwithstanding anything to the contrary in this Agreement, User is liable to Stripe for the full amount of all Disputes (unless and until a Dispute is resolved to final disposition in User’s favor according to applicable Payment Method Rules and as described in the Documentation) and other related costs, Refunds and Reversals regardless of the reason, timing or whether User uses the Stripe Payments Services to manage its Disputes, Refunds or Reversals.

(a) Disputes.

(i) Stripe may delay or withhold paying out a Transaction amount from funds owed to User if Stripe reasonably believes that a Dispute is likely to occur with respect to that Transaction. Stripe may delay or withhold paying out amounts subject to an actual Dispute until the Payment Method Provider resolves the Dispute.

(ii) Payment Method Providers and other Financial Providers may access and share data and evidence provided by User or on User’s behalf in accordance with that Financial Provider’s standard Dispute-management practices.

(iii) If User uses the Stripe Payments Services to automate certain aspects of a Dispute management process, User authorizes Stripe to interact with relevant Financial Providers on User’s behalf with respect to the Dispute. User acknowledges that Stripe cannot guarantee, and takes no responsibility for, a successful outcome of a Dispute.

(iv) User remains responsible for all responses submitted in connection with a Dispute including the accuracy of all content and evidence submitted.

(v) User is solely responsible for its use of Stripe’s Dispute management solutions (including those powered by third parties), and all decisions User makes, actions User takes, and all rules (default or custom) User uses in connection with Stripe’s Dispute-management solutions.

(b) Refunds. Stripe may refuse to act upon a Refund instruction, or delay executing the instruction, if User is the subject of an Insolvency Event, if it would cause a negative balance in User’s Stripe Account, or if Stripe believes that there is a risk User will not meet its liabilities under this Agreement.

(c) Reversals. Without limiting Stripe’s rights under Sections 5.3 - 5.5 of these Stripe Payments Terms, Stripe may initiate a Reversal if:

(i) the Payment Method Provider invalidates the Transaction;

(ii) User receives funds in error for any reason;

(iii) User was not authorized to accept the Transaction;

(iv) User receives funds related to activities that violate this Agreement, Law or Financial Provider Terms; or

(v) a Payment Method Provider or Payment Method Acquirer requires Stripe to do so under the applicable Financial Provider Terms.

5.3 Stripe Remedies – Specific Triggers.

Without limiting Stripe’s other rights or remedies under this Agreement, Stripe may exercise any or all of the remedies stated in Section 5.5 of these Stripe Payments Terms if Stripe reasonably determines that a User Entity:

(a) has incurred or is likely to incur excessive Disputes, Refunds or Reversals;

(b) has submitted one or more Transactions for goods or services not immediately deliverable to the Customer without first obtaining Stripe’s consent;

(c) has a negative Stripe Account balance;

(d) has experienced or is likely to experience a change in the average time between the initial charge and fulfillment of Customer orders that Stripe considers to be material;

(e) is or is likely to become the subject of an Insolvency Event;

(f) has experienced or is likely to experience a deterioration of its business or financial condition that Stripe considers to be material;

(g) has breached or is likely to breach, or has caused or is likely to cause Stripe to breach, this Agreement (or any other Stripe services agreement with a Stripe Entity) or the Financial Provider Terms applicable to the User Entity’s use of the Services;

(h) has violated or is likely to violate Law or Financial Provider Terms;

(i) has caused or is likely to cause Stripe to violate Law or Financial Provider Terms;

(j) has experienced or is likely to experience a Change of Control;

(k) has, either itself or by way of its employees, agents, directors or contractors, initiated Transactions or undertaken any other action that is or is likely to be fraudulent, suspicious or involve criminal activity;

(l) has, without Stripe’s prior consent, changed its business model (including services supplied by a User Entity to its customers), exposing Stripe to increased risk; or

(m) has acted in a manner or engaged in business, trading practice or other activity that presents an unacceptable risk.

5.4 Stripe Remedies – General Trigger.

Without limiting Stripe’s other rights or remedies under this Agreement, Stripe may exercise any or all of the remedies stated in Section 5.5 of these Stripe Payments Terms if (a) Stripe reasonably determines that Stripe may incur losses resulting from credit, fraud, criminal activity or other risks associated with a User Entity after these Stripe Payments Terms terminate; or (b) Law requires.

5.5 Stripe Remedies – Scope.

Without limiting Stripe’s other rights or remedies under this Agreement, if a triggering event in Sections 5.3 or 5.4 of these Stripe Payments Terms (or any other provision of this Agreement that refers to these remedies) has occurred, then Stripe may:

(a) initiate Reversals;

(b) change the Payout Schedule or delay or cancel the payout of funds to the User Bank Accounts, Financial Account, or Stablecoin Partner Wallet;

(c) establish, fund, use, and apply a Reserve, which may include enforcing or drawing down upon, without demand, legal process, or notice of any kind, any security interest or lien held by Stripe in respect of the Reserve, by applying the Reserve funds toward settlement of any liabilities owed by User to any Stripe Entity;

(d) suspend or terminate User’s ability to accept or process Transactions;

(e) manage Disputes that Stripe believes present an unacceptable risk to Stripe; and

(f) refuse to (i) process Transactions, and (ii) act upon Refund instructions.

6. Multi-Currency Processing.

Stripe may offer Multi-Currency Processing. To use Multi-Currency Processing, User must provide to Stripe a valid bank account or Financial Account for each currency for which User requests settlement, based on the list of available settlement currencies stated in the Documentation. Each of these bank accounts is a User Bank Account or Financial Account for the purposes of this Agreement. If User uses Multi-Currency Processing, Stripe will identify at the time of each applicable Transaction the conversion rate that will apply to the Transaction. In the event of a Refund, the conversion rate that will be used to calculate the Refund will be the rate in effect at the time of the Refund.

7. Post-Termination Obligations.

7.1 Completion of Transactions.

Following termination of these Stripe Payments Terms, User must fulfill User’s obligations related to existing Transactions and must not accept new Transactions via the Services, and must remove all Marks of the Stripe Entities and Financial Providers from User’s website (unless permitted under a separate license with a Financial Provider). Stripe will complete Transactions initiated before termination as long as Stripe would have completed those Transactions were these Stripe Payments Terms still in place (e.g., Stripe will not complete a Transaction if a Financial Provider prohibits Stripe from doing so). Termination does not affect User’s responsibility for Transactions described in Section 3 of these Stripe Payments Terms.

7.2 Provision of Payment Method Account Details.

If these Stripe Payments Terms terminate for reasons other than User’s breach, then within 30 days after the termination date, User may request in writing that Stripe provide all relevant Payment Method Account Details to an alternative PCI-DSS Level 1-certified payment processor that User identifies to Stripe. Stripe will provide the Payment Method Account Details that User is entitled to receive to the named payment processor to the extent commercially reasonable. Stripe may delay or refuse any request if Stripe believes the payment processor User has identified does not have systems or controls in place that are sufficient to protect Payment Method Account Details, that the integrity of Payment Method Account Details may be compromised, or that Law or Financial Provider Terms do not allow Stripe to provide the Payment Method Account Details.

8. User Information Updates.

User must immediately notify Stripe, and provide to Stripe updated User Information, if User experiences or anticipates experiencing a material change in the average time between the initial charge and fulfillment of Customer orders. Upon request, User must promptly provide to Stripe information related to Transactions and Disputes, including (a) refund and shipping policies (if applicable); (b) data on captured but unfulfilled charges; (c) data on the time between charge capture and fulfillment of Customer orders; and (d) any other information Stripe reasonably requests.

9. PCI Standards Compliance.

If User elects to store or hold "Account Data," as defined in the PCI Standards (including Customer card account number or expiration date), User must maintain a system that complies with the PCI Standards and upon Stripe’s request, User must provide to Stripe evidence of User’s compliance. If User does not comply with the PCI Standards, or if Stripe or any Payment Method Provider or Payment Method Acquirer is unable to verify User’s compliance with the PCI Standards, Stripe may suspend User’s Stripe Account or terminate this Agreement, in whole or in part. If User intends to use a third-party service provider to store or transmit Payment Method Account Details (including Customer card account number and expiration date) then User must not share any Payment Method Account Details with the service provider until User verifies that the third party holds sufficient certifications under the PCI Standards, and must [notify Stripe](https://stripe.com/contact) of User’s intention to share Payment Method Account Details with the service provider. Further, User agrees to never store or hold any "Sensitive Authentication Data," as defined by the PCI Standards (including the card verification value or similar security code), at any time. User can find information about the PCI Standards on the [PCI Council’s website](https://www.pcisecuritystandards.org/).

10. Additional Obligations.

User must only use the Payment Methods and Stripe Payments Services for bona fide commercial transactions (which must be free of liens, claims, and encumbrances other than ordinary sales taxes) with Customers. User must, and will ensure that User’s third-party service providers that store, access or transmit Payment Method Account Details, comply with the PCI Standards, to the extent they apply.

11. Fraudulent Transactions.

As between the parties, User is responsible for all (a) losses, damages, and costs Stripe and its Affiliates incur due to fraudulent Transactions, and the limitations on liability in Sections 8.3 and 8.4 of the General Terms do not apply; and (b) costs associated with any Financial Provider-initiated audit or forensic investigation arising out of or relating to User’s use of the Stripe Payments Services.

12. Liability for Failure to Transfer Funds.

The limitation of liability in Section 8.4 of the General Terms will not apply to claims User or User’s Affiliates make against the Stripe Parties for failing to transfer any settlement funds the Stripe Parties receive and owe to User in connection with the Stripe Payments Services. For these claims, the Stripe Parties’ liability is limited to the amount that the Stripe Parties have received and owe, but failed to transfer, to User.

13. Force Majeure.

Nothing in Section 11.13 of the General Terms will excuse User’s liabilities and obligations with respect to Disputes, Refunds, and Reversals.

5.1 Transaction Submission. Agentic Sellers may use (a) the Stripe Payments Services to process Agentic Transactions, or (b) the Stripe Orchestrated Services to route Agentic Transaction data off of Stripe’s platform so that the Agentic Transaction may be processed by another payment services provider. Where the Agentic Seller uses the Stripe Payments Services, completion of the Agentic Transaction by Stripe is subject to the Agentic Seller, at its discretion, submitting the transaction and directing Stripe to process the payment. In either case, Stripe is not responsible for ensuring that an Agentic Seller submits a transaction for payment processing.

5.2 Transaction Refusal. Stripe and its Affiliates may decline, cancel, or refuse to facilitate any Agentic Transaction that Stripe reasonably believes is unauthorized, fraudulent, illegal, or exposes Stripe, User, Agentic Sellers, Agentic Payment Methods or Agentic Customers to unacceptable risk.

8. Liability for Use of Agentic Commerce Agent Services.

8.3 Unauthorized Transactions. User will manage transaction fraud on Agentic Transactions on the Agentic Interface. As between Stripe and User, User is responsible for unauthorized Agentic Transactions, if: (a) User fails to procure appropriate consents from the relevant Agentic Customer in accordance with these Agentic Commerce Agent Terms; (b) the Agentic Transaction was not authorized by the Agentic Customer, exceeded User’s Authority, or was caused by bugs, hallucinations or misinterpretations; or (c) the Agentic Interface, User Systems, or any AI agent operating within or on behalf of the Agentic Interface or User Systems, generates or initiates a transaction without an Agentic Customer manifesting, or User receiving, the Agentic Customer's intent to purchase whether due to error, malfunction, unauthorized action, or the agent acting without requisite authority or outside the scope of its permitted authority (each an "Unauthorized Agentic Transaction”).

8.4 Indemnification by User. User will defend the Stripe Parties against any Claim and indemnify the Stripe Parties against all Losses arising out of or relating to: (a) an Unauthorized Agentic Transaction; or (b) any allegation that User had unauthorized access to a third party's computer system or violated any third party's terms of service.

These terms (“Agentic Commerce Seller Terms”) supplement the General Terms, the Stripe Financial Services Terms, and if applicable to User and its Integration, the Stripe Payments Terms, the Stripe Connect Terms, the Stripe Radar Terms, and the Stripe Orchestrated Services Terms, and govern User’s use of Stripe Agentic Commerce Seller Services. Capitalized terms that are not defined in these Agentic Commerce Seller Terms have the same meanings given to them in the Agreement.

2. Processing AC Transactions.

Stripe will make Stripe Payments Services available for AC Transactions submitted by User to Stripe. The Stripe Payments Terms apply to AC Transactions when User uses Stripe Payments Services to process AC Transactions. Certain Integrations require the use of Stripe Payments Services, as described in the Documentation. The Stripe Orchestrated Services Terms apply if User processes AC Transactions with third party payment services providers.

3. User Obligations.

3.1 Stripe Profile. To use the Stripe Agentic Commerce Seller Services, User and each Participating Seller (if applicable and if a Connected Account) may be required to (a) create a Stripe profile that provides complete and accurate business information that Stripe reasonably requires to provide the Stripe Agentic Commerce Seller Services; and (b) maintain that Stripe profile and keep all information provided current.

User may use Stripe Radar Data received from Stripe (if any) for that purpose in accordance with the Stripe Radar Terms. Any Radar Scores and other fraud signals shared with User relating to User, Participating Sellers (if applicable), or AC Transactions, constitute Stripe Radar Data.

3.5 Use of Checkout and Shared Payment Tokens. By using the Stripe Agentic Commerce Seller Services in connection with AC Transactions, User authorizes AC Interface Provider to (a) create a Shared Payment Token to facilitate User’s or its Participating Seller’s AC Transactions; and (b) for certain Integrations, initiate a checkout session on User’s behalf.

3.6 Acceptance of Payment Methods. Using Stripe Agentic Commerce Seller Services in connection with accepting or enabling the acceptance of a Payment Method constitutes User’s acceptance of the applicable Payment Method Rules and Payment Method Terms. Where User’s use of Agentic Commerce Seller Services or Orchestrated Services requires a Payment Method Provider’s waiver from any applicable requirements, User must obtain that waiver, ensure it remains effective, and provide evidence of it to Stripe upon request. Payment Method Rules and Payment Method Terms are Financial Provider Terms for purposes of this Agreement.

Where an Integration does not involve Stripe identifying User in this way, such as in connection with [Link’s Agent Wallet](https://link.com/agents), this Section 5 will not apply:

User grants to Stripe (on behalf of itself and Participating Sellers, if applicable) a worldwide, non-exclusive, sublicensable, royalty-free license during the Term to use User’s and Participating Seller’s (if applicable) Marks within AC Interfaces and in connection with AC Transactions as necessary to provide the Stripe Agentic Commerce Seller Services.

When User elects to enable AC Transactions, User agrees to the applicable AC Interface Provider terms of service, which are made available to User either by Stripe or by AC Interface Provider.

8. Fees.

In addition to Fees listed on the Stripe Pricing Page or otherwise agreed in writing for Stripe Agentic Commerce Seller Services, the Fees for any other Services used in relation to AC Transactions or as part of Stripe Agentic Commerce Seller Services will apply to User, including Fees for Stripe Payments Services and Stripe Radar Services.

Stripe Climate

Last modified: November 18, 2025

1. Stripe Climate.

These terms (“Stripe Climate Terms”) supplement the General Terms, and govern User's use of Stripe Climate Commitment and Stripe Climate Orders. Capitalized terms that are not defined in these Stripe Climate Terms have the same meanings given to them in the General Terms. Stripe, LLC provides Stripe Climate Commitment, and for the purposes of Stripe Climate Commitment, each reference to “Stripe” in these Stripe Climate Terms and in the General Terms will be read as a reference to Stripe, LLC. Frontier Climate Operations, LLC (“Frontier”), Stripe’s Affiliate, provides Stripe Climate Orders, and for the purposes of Stripe Climate Orders, each reference to "Stripe" in the General Terms will be read as a reference to Frontier.

2. Stripe Climate Commitment.

2.1 Opting In and Out, and Changes.

If User elects to contribute Climate Commitment Funds, User must opt in to contributions via the Stripe Account onboarding process or the Stripe Dashboard. User may opt out of, change, or pause a contribution at any time in User's Stripe Dashboard.

2.2 Climate Commitment Funds.

(a) Climate Commitment Funds Allocation. Stripe or its Affiliate may deduct the Climate Commitment Funds from User's Stripe Account balance or User Bank Account on a per-Transaction basis, or as an amount aggregated over a period of time, as described in User's Stripe Dashboard. Stripe will allocate all Climate Commitment Funds to advance the field of carbon removal, through activities such as purchasing CRUs, or funding research and development for new carbon removal technologies. Climate Commitment Funds are not refundable.

(b) Stripe Climate Commitment Goals. The goal of Stripe Climate Commitment is to help advance the field of carbon removal, and Climate Commitment Funds will be used in support of that goal. While Stripe will use reasonable efforts to fund impactful Climate Projects, companies receiving Climate Commitment Funds are developing new technology in an evolving industry and their survival and success in addressing climate issues are not guaranteed. Development timelines of many new technologies are long, the resulting impact may not be immediate, and there is always a risk that the chosen technologies fail to deliver any carbon removal. Even if they are eventually successful in obtaining results, Climate Projects may take years to produce those results.

(c) Use of Climate Commitment Funds. Stripe will determine when to allocate Climate Commitment Funds to Climate Projects, and Stripe will inform User about how Climate Commitment Funds were allocated. Stripe will not apply Climate Commitment Funds toward its own corporate or administrative costs.

(d) No Carbon Credits. The carbon removal services Stripe purchases are not certified by any governmental or non-governmental body. They are not “authorized” under Article 6 of the Paris Agreement. Stripe disclaims all warranties regarding (i) the status under applicable governmental or non-governmental programs or pursuant to standards set by governmental or non-governmental bodies, whether implemented now or in the future, (ii) the availability of any current or future tax credit, benefit, or treatment, or (iii) any other financial benefits, associated with the carbon removal services that Stripe purchases.

(e) Taxes. The Climate Commitment Funds may not be eligible for a tax deduction. User should consult with its tax or legal advisor on the local tax treatment of Climate Commitment Funds. Climate Commitment Funds exclude all Taxes, except as the Documentation states to the contrary.

3. Stripe Climate Orders.

3.1 User's Use of Stripe Climate Orders.

User must use Stripe Climate Orders in compliance with these terms for Stripe Climate Orders. User must not use the Stripe Climate Orders for personal, family, or household use.

3.2 CRUs.

(a) Frontier uses Offtake Agreements to acquire CRUs. To the extent commercially reasonable, Frontier will review (i) the sources of CRUs; and (ii) the terms governing the generation of those CRUs.

(b) Frontier will make Retirement Services available to User for purchase subject to: (i) the availability of CRUs in carbon markets; (ii) Frontier’s ability to secure all necessary rights (including contractual rights) for the future delivery of the CRUs; and (iii) Frontier’s receipt of those CRUs. User may verify the availability of CRUs for Retirement, and purchase Retirement Services using the Climate API or the Stripe Dashboard. While Frontier will provide User with information about the CRUs available for Retirement, it is User's responsibility to verify that the CRUs meet User's needs or the needs of a Beneficiary.

(c) Frontier may be unable to acquire sufficient quantities of CRUs to fulfill orders for Retirement Services. The CRU(s) that Frontier ultimately Retires on User's behalf may have been generated from an Offtake Agreement that Frontier executed after User's initial purchase. In order to provide Retirement Services, Frontier reserves the right to: (i) substitute CRUs from any one carbon removal supplier with a CRU from a different carbon removal supplier; or (ii) allocate then-current inventory of CRUs among Purchasers.

(d) The CRUs are not “authorized” under Article 6 of the Paris Agreement. Frontier disclaims all warranties regarding (i) the status of CRUs under applicable governmental or non-governmental programs or pursuant to standards set by governmental or non-governmental bodies, whether implemented now or in the future, (ii) the availability of any current or future tax credit, benefit, or treatment, or (iii) any other financial benefits, associated with User's purchase of Retirement Services or the associated CRU(s).

3.3 Retirement.

(a) On or before the last day of the Retirement Year, Frontier: (i) on User's behalf, will Retire the CRU; or (ii) if applicable, will transfer title to the CRU to User. If User has designated a Beneficiary, Frontier will Retire the CRU on that Beneficiary’s behalf and include the Beneficiary’s name in the Registry, if permitted. Frontier will Retire and record the CRU in the applicable Registry in accordance with and subject to the rules of that Registry.

(b) Frontier may not be able to, or may not be permitted to, Retire and record partial CRUs (i.e., partial tons) with a Registry. Frontier may combine partial CRUs and record them in Frontier’s name.

(c) If Frontier Retires a CRU on User's behalf or on behalf of a Beneficiary, Frontier will notify User of the Retirement via the Climate API, the Stripe Dashboard, or, if applicable, by other means User elects in the Stripe Dashboard, and deliver a certificate to User evidencing Retirement. Certificates will be digital.

(d) In the event Frontier does not receive sufficient CRUs to fulfill all orders for Retirement Services, Frontier reserves the right, in its sole discretion, to: (i) allocate CRUs among Purchasers; or (ii) refund the Fees.

(e) If Frontier determines that it is unable to Retire a CRU in User's name or in the Beneficiary’s name on or prior to the last day of the Retirement Year of the CRU, Frontier will notify User and, in its sole discretion, Frontier may: (i) refund the applicable Fees; (ii) transfer title to the CRU to User; (iii) record the Retirement of the CRU in Frontier’s name and provide certification to User that Frontier completed the Retirement in Frontier’s name; or (iv) take other reasonable remedial measures. Neither Frontier nor Stripe will pay User any interest on Fees, and Frontier will have no further obligation to User regarding that Retirement and the associated CRU(s) nor any other obligation to complete any additional Retirements. Frontier will not be liable to User for any other losses, damages, or costs that User or others may suffer arising out of or relating to Frontier’s inability to perform the Retirement Services or the associated CRU.

(f) If Frontier is unable to contact User, or is unable to provide a refund of Fees, for any reason (e.g., User has closed its Stripe Account), Frontier will contribute any amounts due to User to carbon removal programs of Frontier’s choosing.

(g) Frontier will use commercially reasonable efforts to ensure a CRU can be Retired on User's behalf or on behalf of User's designated Beneficiary. Frontier does not guarantee that Frontier will be able to Retire a CRU on behalf of a Beneficiary.

3.4 Beneficiaries.

User may designate a Beneficiary when User purchases Retirement Services. User is responsible for notifying a Beneficiary of a CRU’s Retirement. Frontier will not notify a Beneficiary of a CRU’s Retirement. These Stripe Climate Terms are intended solely for the benefit of the parties to these Stripe Climate Terms. Frontier has no obligation to any Beneficiary under these Stripe Climate Terms. When User designates a Beneficiary, User will not provide Frontier with a Beneficiary’s Personal Data.

3.5 Power of Attorney.

To the extent necessary, User grants to Frontier a power of attorney to act on User's behalf or on behalf of a Beneficiary to provide Stripe Climate Orders. User represents as of the Effective Date and warrants during the Term that User has secured the necessary rights and consents from the applicable Beneficiaries to enable Frontier to act on behalf of the applicable Beneficiaries.

3.6 Suspension and Termination.

Frontier may, at any time or for any reason, suspend or terminate User's access to Stripe Climate Orders, including User's ability to advertise or publicize any CRUs or Stripe Climate Orders.

3.7 Disclaimer.

User agrees that Frontier offers solely the Retirement of CRUs, and that Frontier is not acting as a marketplace, dealer, or seller of carbon removal units or offtakes. Other than as provided herein, the Stripe Parties (including Frontier) make no representation or warranty of any kind whatsoever for Stripe Climate Orders or a CRU, including the availability of a CRU at any given time or the validity of a CRU’s generation.

Stripe may enable User to make payouts to Payout Recipients. For the purpose of these payouts, Stripe does not provide any service directly to the Payout Recipients, and the Payout Recipients do not have a contractual or business relationship with Stripe. To the extent Stripe makes payouts to Payout Recipients, it does so on User’s behalf.

9.2 User Top-ups.

When a Connected Account accepts a Connect Transaction, User may conduct a Top-Up in the manner prescribed in the Documentation.

Stripe Global Payouts Stablecoin (Preview)

Last modified: September 28, 2026

1. Operation of These Terms.

These terms ("Stripe Global Payouts Stablecoin Terms") supplement the General Terms and, together with the Stripe Financial Services Terms, the Stripe Treasury Terms, and the Stripe Stablecoin Treasury Terms, each of which is incorporated into these Stripe Global Payouts Stablecoin Terms by this reference, govern User's use of the Stripe Global Payouts Stablecoin Services. Capitalized terms that are not defined in these terms have the same meanings given to them in the General Terms or the Stripe Financial Services Terms. The Stripe Stablecoin Global Payouts Stablecoin Services are Preview Services.

2. Stripe Global Payouts Stablecoin Services.

2.1 Description of Services.

The Stripe Global Payouts Stablecoin Services enable User to initiate Stablecoin Payout Transactions as either Fiat-Funded Stablecoin Payouts or Direct Stablecoin Payouts. In the case of Fiat-Funded Stablecoin Payouts, Stripe's role is limited to facilitating the transfer of fiat currency from User's Financial Account to User’s account with the Stablecoin Partner. In the case of Direct Stablecoin Payouts, Stripe's role is limited to providing the technology interface through which User issues the payout instruction to the Stablecoin Partner. Stripe does not create any direct relationship between Stripe and the Stablecoin Payout Recipient, nor does Stripe hold, custody, transmit, or pay out any Stablecoin as part of any Stablecoin Payout Transaction.

2.2 Stablecoin Partner.

All Stablecoin services, including exchange, custody, and payout services are performed solely by the Stablecoin Partner under the Stablecoin Partner Terms. These Stripe Global Payouts Stablecoin Terms govern all Stablecoin Payout Transactions that User initiates through the Stripe Global Payouts Stablecoin Services, whether as a Fiat-Funded Stablecoin Payout or a Direct Stablecoin Payout. Stablecoin Payout Transactions that User initiates directly with the Stablecoin Partner outside of the Stripe Global Payouts Stablecoin Services interface are not governed by these Stripe Global Payouts Stablecoin Terms and are subject solely to the applicable Stablecoin Partner Terms.

2.3 Funding Stablecoin Payout Transactions.

A Fiat-Funded Stablecoin Payout may only be funded through fiat currency funds held in User's Financial Account, which is governed by the Stripe Treasury Terms, and User must maintain sufficient funds in User's Financial Account to cover each payout. For each Fiat-Funded Stablecoin Payout, Stripe will deduct the fiat currency amount from User's Financial Account Available Balance at the time Stripe transfers those funds to the Stablecoin Partner, at which point Stripe's obligations with respect to that Fiat-Funded Stablecoin Payout are satisfied in full. A Direct Stablecoin Payout is funded solely from Stablecoin held in User's Stablecoin Partner Wallet, and User must maintain a sufficient Stablecoin balance in that wallet to cover each payout. For each Direct Stablecoin Payout, Stripe's role is limited to providing the Stripe Global Payouts Stablecoin Services technology interface through which User issues the payout instruction to the Stablecoin Partner, at which point Stripe's obligations with respect to that Direct Stablecoin Payout are satisfied in full. With respect to all Stablecoin Payout Transactions, Stripe is not responsible for the exchange rate applied by the Stablecoin Partner (if any), the amount of Stablecoin delivered to a Stablecoin Payout Recipient, or the timing of delivery to the Designated Wallet.

2.4 Retrying Stablecoin Payout Transactions.

If a Stablecoin Payout Transaction is unsuccessful, User authorizes Stripe or the Stablecoin Partner, as applicable, to retry the Stablecoin Payout Transaction. If Stripe or the Stablecoin Partner are not able to complete the Stablecoin Payout Transaction, Stripe will notify User and the amount deducted in connection with that transaction — whether fiat currency from User's Financial Account in the case of a Fiat-Funded Stablecoin Payout, or Stablecoin from User's Stablecoin Partner Wallet in the case of a Direct Stablecoin Payout — will be returned to the account from which it was deducted, in each case subject to any applicable fees and the terms stated in the Stablecoin Partner Terms.

2.5 Stripe's Right to Restrict.

Stripe may add or restrict access to particular denominations of Stablecoin or fiat currency, or types of Stablecoin Payout Transactions, at any time in its sole discretion. Stripe may suspend or terminate User's access to the Stripe Global Payouts Stablecoin Services at any time in accordance with the General Terms. In addition to Stripe's right to restrict access to the Stripe Global Payouts Stablecoin Services generally, Stripe may refuse any individual Stablecoin Payout Transaction at any time, including if (a) Stripe determines that User, a Stablecoin Payout Recipient, or a Stablecoin Partner is engaged in any fraudulent, unlawful, deceptive, or abusive activity; (b) the Designated Wallet fails blockchain monitoring or compliance screening under Section 2.8; (c) User has insufficient funds in its Financial Account, or an insufficient Stablecoin balance in its Stablecoin Partner Wallet, as applicable; or (d) for any reason permitted or required by Law.

2.6 Disclaimer.

To the extent Law permits, Stripe is not liable to User for any losses, damages, or costs resulting from: (a) the suspension, termination, or interruption of the Stripe Global Payouts Stablecoin Services or the Stablecoin Partner Services; (b) User or any Stablecoin Payout Recipient providing incorrect or incomplete Payout Information, including an incorrect or invalid Designated Wallet address; (c) the failure of a Stablecoin Payout Transaction due to the Designated Wallet being incompatible with the Stablecoin being transmitted; (d) fluctuations in the value of Stablecoin between the time User initiates a Stablecoin Payout Transaction and the time the Stablecoin is delivered to the Designated Wallet; (e) the Stablecoin Partner rejecting, delaying, or failing to complete a Stablecoin Payout Transaction for any reason; (f) the Stablecoin Partner’s default, insolvency, or bankruptcy; (g) any act or omission of the Stablecoin Partner in connection with the exchange, custody, transmission, or payout of Stablecoin; (h) User's Stablecoin Partner Wallet having an insufficient Stablecoin balance to fund a Direct Stablecoin Payout at the time of execution; or (i) the irreversibility of any Stablecoin Payout Transaction, including where Stablecoin has been transmitted to an incorrect, invalid, or unintended Designated Wallet address. Stablecoin Payout Transactions cannot be amended, cancelled, reversed, or recalled once the Stablecoin Partner has initiated the transmission of Stablecoin to a Designated Wallet.

2.7 Depeg Event.

If a Depeg Event occurs with respect to any Stablecoin, Stripe and the Stablecoin Partner may immediately (a) suspend the Stripe Global Payouts Stablecoin Services with respect to the affected Stablecoin; or (b) continue providing the Stripe Global Payouts Stablecoin Services with respect to the affected Stablecoin at its prevailing Stablecoin-to-fiat market exchange rate. Stripe is not liable to User for any losses, damages, or costs arising from a Depeg Event, including any difference between the exchange rate applicable at the time User initiates a Stablecoin Payout Transaction and the rate at which the Stablecoin Partner executes the exchange, if it chooses to do so.

2.8 Blockchain Monitoring and Compliance Screening.

Stripe or the Stablecoin Partner, in their discretion, may conduct blockchain monitoring and screening on any Designated Wallet in connection with a Stablecoin Payout Transaction. If Stripe or the Stablecoin Partner identifies a Designated Wallet as presenting fraud, compliance, sanctions, or other risk, then Stripe or the Stablecoin Partner, as applicable, may perform a manual compliance review of the Designated Wallet, which may cause delays in completing the Stablecoin Payout Transaction or the availability of funds in User's Financial Account, or the availability of Stablecoin in User’s Stablecoin Partner Wallet, or both. Stripe or the Stablecoin Partner, in their discretion, may reject any transfer to a Designated Wallet that presents an excessive risk, or if required by Law. Stripe is not liable to User for any losses, damages, or costs arising from any delay or rejection resulting from blockchain monitoring or compliance screening.

2.9 Stablecoin Payout Recipient Data.

User authorizes Stripe and the Stablecoin Partner to share User's Personal Data and the Personal Data of Stablecoin Payout Recipients with each other and with any relevant regulatory bodies, tax authorities or implicated digital asset service providers on an ongoing basis to meet their respective regulatory compliance and tax obligations. User must provide all necessary notices to, and obtain all necessary rights and consents from, each Stablecoin Payout Recipient sufficient to enable Stripe and the Stablecoin Partner to lawfully collect, use, retain, and disclose Stablecoin Payout Recipients' Personal Data, including their names, dates of birth, physical addresses, Designated Wallet addresses, contact information, and government-issued identification numbers, as necessary to process Stablecoin Payout Transactions. Stripe and the Stablecoin Partner may require additional Personal Data from User or Stablecoin Payout Recipients at any time as a condition to continued access to the Stripe Global Payouts Stablecoin Services, and may temporarily suspend access to the Stripe Global Payouts Stablecoin Services pending receipt of that information.

2.10 Potentially Fraudulent Activity.

Stripe will treat any actual or suspected unauthorized access or unauthorized activity associated with User's use of the Stripe Global Payouts Stablecoin Services as potentially fraudulent. User must notify Stripe immediately if User becomes aware of or suspects any potentially fraudulent activity in connection with the Stripe Global Payouts Stablecoin Services. User must promptly report any such activity to the relevant legal authorities and provide Stripe with a copy of any relevant report prepared by those authorities. In connection with any investigation of potentially fraudulent activity, User must (a) cooperate fully with the relevant legal authorities, the Stablecoin Partner, and Stripe; and (b) complete any required affidavits or statements promptly, accurately, and thoroughly. User's failure to cooperate in any such investigation may result in suspension of User's access to the Stripe Global Payouts Stablecoin Services.

2.11 Stripe Does Not Provide Services to Stablecoin Payout Recipients.

Stripe does not provide any payments service or other financial service to Stablecoin Payout Recipients in connection with the Stripe Global Payouts Stablecoin Services. User is responsible for all of User's communications with Stablecoin Payout Recipients, and Stripe is under no obligation to respond to communications or support requests from Stablecoin Payout Recipients.

3. Transaction Limits.

There may be limits on the number and value of Stablecoin Payout Transactions that User can make, which, if applicable, are described on the Stripe Dashboard or otherwise communicated to User by Stripe or the Stablecoin Partner. Such limits may apply separately to Fiat-Funded Stablecoin Payouts and Direct Stablecoin Payouts, as described in the Documentation or communicated to User by Stripe or the Stablecoin Partner. Stripe, in its discretion, may allow Stablecoin Payout Transactions that exceed applicable limits or temporarily reduce User's limits from time to time without notice, unless applicable Law requires otherwise. Stripe may change its limits at any time in its sole discretion. The Stablecoin Partner may independently impose additional limits on Stablecoin Payout Transactions as described in the Stablecoin Partner Terms.

4. Taxes.

Stablecoin Payout Transactions may be subject to Taxes. User acknowledges that tax Laws applicable to Stablecoin transactions may be uncertain and evolving, and that it is not Stripe's responsibility to assess, collect, report, or remit any Taxes owed by User arising from: (a) the use of the Stripe Global Payouts Stablecoin Services; (b) the use of the Stablecoin Partner Services; or (c) any other transactions User may enter into with a Stablecoin Partner. Stripe does not provide investment or tax advice. Stripe may be required to submit tax information reports to tax authorities regarding these transactions and may send User a copy of such tax information. Specifically, Law may require Stripe to file periodic informational returns with taxing authorities related to User's use of the Stripe Global Payouts Stablecoin Services, and Stripe may send tax-related information electronically to User.

Stripe Issuing—Accountholder (United Kingdom and European Economic Area)

Last modified: September 28, 2026

1. Stripe Issuing Services - Accountholder.

These terms (“Stripe Issuing Accountholder Terms”) supplement the General Terms and, together with the Stripe Financial Services Terms which are incorporated into these terms by this reference, govern User’s use of the Stripe Issuing Accountholder Services. Capitalized terms that are not defined in these terms have the same meanings given to them in the General Terms and the Stripe Financial Services Terms.

2. Overview.

Stripe and its Affiliates make available the Stripe Issuing Accountholder Services, which includes access to the Stripe Issuing Program, for Stripe Issuing Accountholders.

3. Use of the Stripe Issuing Services.

3.1 Stripe Issuing Administrator.

User may appoint a Stripe Issuing Administrator to administer the Stripe Issuing Program on User’s behalf (e.g., requesting Cards for Issuing Authorized Users, making changes to the Stripe Issuing Account, managing how Issuing Authorized Users use Cards). User must ensure that the Stripe Issuing Administrator complies with these Stripe Issuing Accountholder Terms. User is responsible for the Stripe Issuing Administrator’s acts and omissions in connection with the Stripe Issuing Program.

3.2 Issuing Authorized Users.

In the agreement between User and User’s Issuing Authorized Users, User must specify that the Issuing Authorized User’s use of the Stripe Issuing Program and Stripe Issuing Account must be solely for business-related purchases. User must ensure that Issuing Authorized Users comply with these Stripe Issuing Accountholder Terms, including the prohibition on conducting, or dealing with, a Prohibited or Restricted Business. User is responsible and liable for User’s Issuing Authorized Users’ acts and omissions in connection with their use of Cards. User may only impose liability on Issuing Authorized Users in connection with the Stripe Issuing Program as Law allows. Issuing Authorized Users act under User’s authority and are not customers of Stripe.

3.3 Compliance.

User must be a commercial business enterprise and the Stripe Issuing Account is for business purposes only. User must not use, or permit an Issuing Authorized User to use, the Stripe Issuing Accountholder Services for Card Unauthorized Purposes; and will comply, and ensure that User’s Stripe Issuing Administrator and Issuing Authorized Users comply, with the Stripe Issuing Program Guidelines.

3.4 Issuing Complaint Handling.

User must submit each Issuing Complaint User receives to User’s Platform Provider or, if User does not have one, to issuing-support@stripe.com within 3 business days after User receives the Issuing Complaint.

3.5 Providing Information.

Stripe may require User to provide User Information, information regarding Issuing Authorized Users (including name, address, birthdate, and government-issued identification documents), and information about User’s activities and intended use of the Stripe Issuing Accountholder Services. This information may be in addition to information User has previously provided to Stripe in connection with other Services. User must promptly provide all additional financial and other information Stripe requests from time to time.

3.6 Inquiries.

Stripe (or, if applicable, User’s Platform Provider) will manage all inquiries from User regarding Stripe Issuing Accountholder Services, including inquiries related to the use of Cards, and lost, stolen or damaged Cards.

4. Cards.

4.1 Card Design.

User may request specific Card designs for Cards issued to User or Issuing Authorized Users. User must provide all proposed Card designs to Stripe for review and approval using the process Stripe requires. Stripe will review Card design proposals for compliance with this Agreement, Law, and Stripe reputational considerations. If Stripe does not approve a proposed Card design, Stripe will recommend modifications that, if made, will meet these requirements. User must resubmit the modified Card design to Stripe for approval using the same process.

4.2 Card Orders.

User may order Cards through User’s Stripe Dashboard (or, if applicable, through User’s Platform Provider). At User’s (or, if applicable, User’s Platform Provider’s) expense, Stripe will procure and ship (a) Cards based on the information contained in the applicable Card order to the address in the EEA or UK specified in that Card order; and (b) replacements for Cards reported as lost, stolen or damaged. Risk of loss for Cards passes to the recipient (either User or User’s Platform Provider, as applicable) when Stripe ships the Card to the address specified in the order.

4.3 Card Activation.

User must activate a Card through User’s Stripe Dashboard (or, if applicable, through User’s Platform Provider) before User or User’s Issuing Authorized Users use that Card. Stripe will provide activation instructions to User, either directly or with delivery of Cards. User will provide those instructions to User’s Stripe Issuing Administrators and Issuing Authorized Users. Once a Card is activated, Issuing Authorized Users may use Cards to initiate Card Transactions on User’s behalf.

4.4 Ownership and Cancellation of Cards.

Cards are the property of Stripe. If Stripe requests that User or an Issuing Authorized User return a Card, then User must return, or ensure that the Issuing Authorized User returns, that Card promptly to Stripe as Stripe instructs. User will immediately and at User’s expense return cancelled Cards to Stripe or provide written certification that cancelled Cards have been destroyed.

Stripe may, in its reasonable discretion, cancel, suspend or restrict the use of a Card at any time, including as required by Law or Card Network Rules, or if a Card is used for a Card Unauthorized Purpose. Stripe will notify User as soon as practicable after cancelling, suspending or restricting a Card, and to the extent Law permits, will inform User of the reasons for the cancellation, suspension or restriction. Stripe will issue a replacement Card or lift the suspension or restriction of a Card as soon as practicable after Stripe, in its sole discretion, determines that the reasons for cancellation, suspension or restriction cease to exist.

4.5 User Materials.

User must have the necessary rights in the User Materials to use (and grant Stripe the rights to use) the User Materials on the Cards and for the purposes of the Stripe Issuing Program. User grants to Stripe and its Affiliates a worldwide, non-exclusive, royalty-free license to use the User Materials on Cards and applicable Stripe Issuing Program materials. User also grants to Stripe and its Affiliates the right to sublicense these rights to third parties that Stripe engages to create Cards and applicable Stripe Issuing Program materials.

If User terminates or revokes the license to the User Materials, then (a) Stripe will stop producing new Cards carrying the User Materials and stop using the User Materials for the purposes of the Stripe Issuing Program; (b) Stripe will not be obligated to recall, destroy or replace any existing Cards carrying the User Materials; and (c) Stripe will not be liable for any delay or failure in performing its obligations to the extent they are adversely affected by the termination or revocation.

5. Operation of Stripe Issuing Accounts and Processing of Card Transactions.

5.1 Stripe Issuing Accounts.

The Stripe Issuing Account is an E-money Payment Account. The Stripe Issuing Account will contain sub-accounts (for information purposes only) related to each Card. The Stripe Issuing Account will contain details of Card Transactions processed in respect of each Card, and the outstanding amount of E-money which is held in the Stripe Issuing Account across all Cards issued to User. All Cards issued to User are linked to User’s Stripe Issuing Account.

5.2 Card Transactions.

Stripe will use a Card Network to authorize, clear, and settle all Card Transactions initiated on User’s Cards. Stripe may decline to authorize a Card Transaction or reverse a Card Transaction for any reason, including if (a) Stripe is concerned about the security of the Card or Stripe suspects that the Card is being used without valid authorization or for a Card Unauthorized Purpose; (b) insufficient E-money is loaded onto the Card; (c) Stripe believes that User is acting in breach of this Agreement or the Connected Account Agreement (if applicable) or any other agreement User may have with a Stripe Entity; (d) Stripe believes the Card Transaction is suspicious, fraudulent, illegal or exposes User, Stripe or others to risks unacceptable to Stripe; (e) there are errors, failures or refusals by merchants, payment processors or payment schemes related to the Card Transaction; or (f) the Card Transaction is with a prohibited or restricted merchant or a merchant operating a Prohibited or Restricted Business. If Stripe declines to authorize a Card Transaction, Stripe will, on request, if practicable and to the extent Law permits, inform User of the reason. Stripe is not liable for any losses, damages, costs, fines, fees, or penalties related to reversed or declined Card Transactions.

5.3 Authorization of Card Transactions.

Subject to the features of the Card, the authorization of a Card Transaction may include authorizing a single Card Transaction or a series of recurring Card Transactions, or pre-authorizing a future Card Transaction for a specified or unspecified amount. Stripe will treat Card Transactions as authorized and consented to by User where Issuing Authorized Users follow the instructions provided by a merchant or Stripe to effectively authorize the Card Transaction at the point of sale (including online), including where the Issuing Authorized User (as applicable) (a) enters a Personal Identification Number (PIN); (b) signs a sales receipt; (c) provides Card and other requested details; (d) taps, waves or swipes the Card at a card reader; or (e) fulfills multi-factor authentication requirements (including strong customer authentication, as defined under Law). Authorisation of a Card Transaction cannot be withdrawn or revoked once received by Stripe.

5.4 Processing of Card Transactions.

Stripe receives a Card Transaction at the time Stripe receives the Card Transaction settlement instruction from the relevant Card Network. Stripe will deduct the amount of a Card Transaction from the balance of the Stripe Issuing Account as soon as the Card Transaction is made. When a Card is used to initiate a Card Transaction where the final amount of the Card Transaction is unknown at the time of authorization, a hold may be placed on available funds in the Stripe Issuing Account for an estimated amount of the Card Transaction as authorized by (or on behalf of) User. The funds subject to the hold will not be available to User for any other purpose until the merchant or the Card Network releases the hold, or until Stripe receives the final amount of the Card Transaction or receives the final payment order.

5.5 Card Transaction Settlement.

Stripe will settle Card Transactions, net of fees and amounts owed to Stripe, to the relevant Card Network within the required settlement time frame.

5.6 Currency Conversions.

If a Card Transaction is in a Supported Currency, Stripe will process the Card Transaction in the applicable Supported Currency. If User’s balance in the applicable Supported Currency is insufficient to complete the Card Transaction, and User has a sufficient balance available in User’s default currency, Stripe will convert the Card Transaction from the Supported Currency to User’s default currency to complete the Card Transaction. If a requested Card Transaction requires a currency conversion, then the exchange rate used for that conversion will be determined as stated in the Documentation. Where currency conversion is part of a Card Transaction, any quoted payout amounts and associated fees are estimates, and may fluctuate based on changes in the exchange rate that applies when the currency conversion takes place.

If a Card Network completes a currency conversion, the amount payable will be converted at the relevant Card Network's reference exchange rate at the clearing time of the Card Transaction, and a foreign exchange fee will apply. The Card Network’s reference exchange rate, and a comparison as against the latest available foreign exchange rates issued by the European Central Bank, are outlined by Visa [here](https://www.visa.ie/support/consumer/travel-support/exchange-rate-calculator.html) and Mastercard [here](https://www.mastercard.com/ie/en/personal/get-support/currency-exchange-rate-converter.html) (as may be updated from time to time). When paying in a currency other than a Supported Currency, the applicable exchange rate will be shown at the time of the Card Transaction.

5.7 Refunds.

User may submit a refund request in relation to Card Transactions where the authorization did not specify the exact amount of the Card Transaction at the time of authorization and the amount charged by the merchant is more than User could reasonably have expected taking into account normal spending patterns on the Card or the circumstances of the Card Transaction. A claim for a refund in these circumstances will not be accepted if the amount of the Card Transaction was made available to User at least 4 weeks before the Card Transaction date, or if the claim is made more than 8 weeks after the Card Transaction was debited from the Stripe Issuing Account.

5.8 Card Transaction information.

Stripe (or, if applicable, User’s Platform Provider) will, through the Stripe Technology, provide User with the Stripe Issuing Account balance and a statement of Card Transactions. User will be able to access and download monthly Card Transaction statements via the Stripe Technology (or, if applicable, from User’s Platform Provider). The Card Transaction statements will show (a) information related to each Card Transaction which will enable it to be identified and, where appropriate, information on the payee; (b) the amount of the Card Transaction shown in the currency in which the Card Transaction was paid; (c) the amount of charges for the Card Transaction; (d) where applicable, the actual exchange rate applied to the Card Transaction; and (e) the date the Card Transaction is authorized on or posted to the Stripe Issuing Account. User must carefully review its Card Transactions on a regular basis to identify unauthorized or incorrectly executed transactions and, where appropriate, notify Stripe without undue delay in accordance with the terms of this Agreement if an unauthorized or incorrectly executed transaction has occurred.

6. Loading and Redeeming Funds.

6.1 Loading Funds.

User may load funds at par value onto the Stripe Issuing Account using the Stripe Technology via the funding mechanisms Stripe makes available. All funds in the Stripe Issuing Account are safeguarded by Stripe PSP in compliance with Law. User acknowledges and agrees that funds in the Stripe Issuing Account are held by Stripe PSP on User’s behalf and are not deposits. User will not earn any interest on any funds held in the Stripe Issuing Account.

6.2 Redeeming Funds.

User may redeem the funds on the Stripe Issuing Account at any time in whole or in part at par value. User is not entitled to a refund of money that has already been spent on or held for authorized Card Transactions. User must request redemptions via the communication methods specified by Stripe (including through the Stripe Technology), specifying the amount of redemption. If User chooses to redeem all of the funds on the Stripe Issuing Account, Stripe will cancel the Cards and User will, at User’s sole expense (a) immediately return the cancelled Cards in User’s possession or under User’s control, or (b) provide written certification of destruction of any cancelled or unused Cards. All redeemed funds will be returned to User by bank transfer to a User Bank Account. User will provide Stripe with any documents reasonably requested by Stripe to enable Stripe to process a redemption request.

6.3 Stripe Action.

Stripe may prevent User from redeeming funds in the Stripe Issuing Account if Stripe believes User’s use (or intended use) of the Stripe Issuing Account (a) breaches this Agreement or any other agreement between User and Stripe; (b) is for any Card Unauthorized Purpose; or (c) could expose User, Stripe or others to risks unacceptable to Stripe. Unless restricted by Law, Stripe will notify User as soon as reasonably practicable if Stripe takes that action.

7. User’s Obligations and Use of the Cards.

7.1 Use of the Cards.

User and User’s Issuing Authorized Users are permitted to use the Cards for Card Transactions. User must not use Cards (a) to obtain cash back at the point of sale; or (b) for a Card Unauthorized Purpose. Stripe may, acting reasonably, require User to establish a daily Card Transaction Limit to prevent the risk of loss to Stripe, and to reduce the rate of declined Card Transactions. If Stripe requires a daily Card Transaction Limit, Stripe may decline any Card Transactions in excess of the daily Card Transaction Limit.

Cards are valid for the period ending on the expiry date set out on the relevant Card. User may request a replacement Card and Stripe may charge a fee for the issuance of replacement Cards.

User, (or, if applicable, User’s Platform Provider) may establish limits or restrictions on User’s Stripe Issuing Account through User’s Stripe Dashboard, including spend limits on individual Card Transactions, a maximum spend limit in any given period, a limit on the number of cards issued to User’s Stripe Issuing Account and the types of merchants with which User’s Cards may be used. User (or, if applicable, User’s Platform Provider) is responsible for communicating and implementing any limits to User’s Issuing Authorized Users.

7.2 Issuing Authorized User Servicing.

User (or, if applicable, User’s Platform Provider) will handle (a) all enquiries regarding Card usage and lost, damaged or stolen Cards and (b) all other enquiries from Issuing Authorized Users. Stripe will not provide support to Issuing Authorized Users in relation to the Stripe Issuing Services. User may not outsource Issuing Authorized User support to any third party.

8. Card Disputes.

8.1 Reporting Unauthorized Transactions.

If User believes (a) User’s Card has been lost or stolen; or (b) there are incorrectly executed, defective, or unauthorized transactions on User’s Card or Stripe Issuing Account, User must immediately, (i) report any unauthorized Card Transactions to Stripe by filing a dispute through the Stripe Dashboard; and (ii) cancel any compromised Cards through the Stripe Dashboard. Disputing an incorrectly executed, defective, or unauthorized Card Transaction will not cancel a Card. User may incur additional liability if User fails to cancel a compromised Card through the Stripe Dashboard.

8.2 Reporting Incorrectly Executed Transactions.

If User believes that User’s Card or Stripe Issuing Account was subject to an incorrectly executed, defective, or unauthorized charge, User may contact the merchant to resolve the dispute regarding the relevant Card Transaction. If User is unable to resolve the dispute with the merchant, then User must notify Stripe of the incorrectly executed, defective or unauthorized Card Transaction through User’s Stripe Dashboard. User must notify Stripe of an incorrectly executed, defective, or unauthorized Card Transactions to Stripe without undue delay, and no later than 13 months from the date the Card Transaction appears on User’s Stripe Issuing Account.

8.3 Determining Incorrectly Executed, Defective, or Unauthorized Transactions.

When User notifies Stripe of an incorrectly executed, defective, or unauthorized Card Transaction through the Stripe Dashboard, Stripe will evaluate the submitted information in accordance with Law and the Card Network Rules. If Stripe determines, in its sole discretion, that the Card Transaction was incorrectly executed, defective, or unauthorized, Stripe will credit the amount of the applicable Card Transaction back to User’s Stripe Issuing Account. If Stripe fully or partially credits the amount of a Card Transaction to User’s Stripe Issuing Account, User agrees to transfer (and execute any necessary agreements to effect the transfer) to Stripe all claims (excluding tort claims) that User may have against the merchant for the Card Transaction.

8.4 Liability for Unauthorized Card Transactions.

Stripe will reimburse User for any card dispute where Stripe determines that neither User nor an Issuing Authorized User authorized the underlying Card Transaction, provided that (a) User will be responsible for the first €50 or £35 (as applicable) of a card dispute where Stripe reasonably believes User should have been aware that the Card was lost, misappropriated, or stolen; (b) Stripe will not be liable for any card dispute where (i) User or an Issuing Authorized User used a Card for a Card Unauthorized Purpose or either intentionally or as a result of gross negligence, failed to use the Card in accordance with the terms of this Agreement or the Stripe Issuing Program Guidelines; or (ii) User failed to immediately notify Stripe of the Card becoming lost, stolen or misappropriated (in accordance with Section 9 of these Stripe Issuing Accountholder Terms).

If Stripe reimburses User for an unauthorized Card Transaction and subsequently determines that the relevant Card Transaction was duly authorized and correctly executed or Stripe is otherwise not liable for the Card Transaction, Stripe may recoup or set off an amount equal to that reimbursed amount from User’s Stripe Issuing Account.

9. Card Security.

9.1 Securing Cards and Account Data.

User must secure Cards and Personal Data in User’s possession or control, and User must ensure that User’s Issuing Authorized Users secure Cards and Personal Data in their possession or control. When stored or processed digitally, User must use appropriate organizational, physical and technical measures to secure Cards and Personal Data in User and User’s Issuing Authorized Users’ possession or control, including through the use of industry-standard encryption and anti-fraud measures. User must monitor for any suspicious or unauthorized activities and fraud on User’s Stripe Issuing Account and each Card.

9.2 Unauthorized Transactions.

To the extent Law permits, User is responsible for Card Transactions, and all costs, fees, fines, and penalties User or Stripe incur related to an Issuing Authorized User’s failure to (a) exercise reasonable care in safeguarding Cards from loss, theft or misappropriation; or (b) promptly report loss or theft, including fraud.

To the extent Law permits, if User or an Issuing Authorized User allows another party to use the Card or Personal Data for any purpose, User is responsible for that use, including all losses, damages, costs, fines, fees, or penalties related to that use. To the extent Law permits, Stripe is not liable for any losses, damages, costs, fines, fees, or penalties related to (x) unauthorized access to or use of a Card or User’s Stripe Issuing Account; or (y) User’s failure to use or implement anti-fraud measures, security controls or any other data security measures.

10. Stripe Issuing Program Fees.

10.1 Stripe Issuing Program Fees.

Stripe will provide User the Stripe Issuing Services at the rates and for the fees described on the Stripe Pricing Page unless User and Stripe otherwise agree in writing. If User is a Connected Account, User may receive the Stripe Issuing Services through the relevant Platform Provider at other rates or fees disclosed to User by the Platform Provider. In addition to the fees, User is also responsible for any penalties imposed on User, Stripe or any Stripe Affiliate in relation to the Stripe Issuing Account and all Cards. Fees and penalties may include periodic fees, foreign transaction fees, penalties for misuse, funds transfer fees, account maintenance fees, Card issuance or replacement fees, and penalties for late or failed payments. All fees or penalties User owes are in addition to amounts User owes for Card Transactions on Cards. Stripe may change fees or penalties by providing User advance notice before revisions become applicable to User, subject to applicable Law.

10.2 Liability for Losses.

As between User and Stripe, User is responsible for all Card Transactions and User will reimburse Stripe for any losses, damages, costs, fines, fees, or penalties that Stripe and its Affiliates incur that result from User’s actions or inactions, or those of User’s Issuing Authorized Users, including liability related to insufficient funds availability or debit reversals.

10.3 Card Stamp Duty.

Notwithstanding the terms of this Agreement (or the Connected Account Agreement, as applicable), Stripe may deduct all applicable government levies and stamp duties in respect of Cards from User’s Stripe Issuing Account.

11. Data Protection.

11.1 Data Protection.

User must have and maintain all necessary rights and consents under Law to provide to Stripe and to allow Stripe to collect, use, retain and disclose, all Personal Data that User provides to Stripe or authorize Stripe to collect, including data that Stripe may collect directly from Issuing Authorised Users. User is solely responsible for disclosing to Issuing Authorised Users that Stripe may receive Personal Data from User. User must provide all necessary notices to and obtain all necessary rights and consents from each Issuing Authorised User sufficient to enable Stripe to lawfully collect, use, retain and disclose their Personal Data in the ways this Agreement (including Section 4.5 of the General Terms) and Stripe's Privacy Policy describe. Stripe provides Issuing Authorised Users' Personal Data to third-party service providers, including third parties engaged for Card printing services, and their respective Affiliates, as well as to Stripe’s Affiliates, to enable Stripe to provide the Stripe Issuing Program. Stripe may delete or disconnect an Issuing Authorised User’s Personal Data from User’s Stripe Issuing Account when Law or the Card Network Rules require.

11.2 User’s Use of Personal Data.

User must only use Personal Data related to User’s Stripe Issuing Account for User’s internal business purposes and to fulfil User’s obligations under this Agreement.

Stripe is not liable to User, Stripe Issuing Administrators or Issuing Authorized Users for any losses, damages, costs, fines, fees, or penalties sustained by User, Stripe Issuing Administrators or Issuing Authorized Users due to delay or failure in actioning a Card Transaction request.

13. Additional Remedies.

13.1 Stripe Remedies - Specific Triggers.

Without limiting Stripe’s other rights or remedies under this Agreement, Stripe may exercise any one or more of the remedies stated in Section 13.3 of these Stripe Issuing Accountholder terms if (a) User fails to comply with any of its obligations under these Stripe Issuing Accountholder Terms; (b) User fails to pay any amounts User owes to Stripe or any of its Affiliates in connection with the Stripe Issuing Program; (c) User initiates a Card Transaction that would exceed or violate a limit established for User’s use of the Stripe Issuing Program; (d) Stripe determines that User provided inaccurate information in User's application, or that User has failed to keep this information current; or (e) User experiences excessive Card Transaction disputes or unauthorized Card Transactions.

13.2 Stripe Remedies - General Trigger.

Without limiting Stripe’s other rights and remedies under this Agreement, Stripe may exercise any or all of the remedies stated in Section 13.3 of these Stripe Issuing Accountholder Terms if (a) Stripe reasonably determines that Stripe may incur losses resulting from credit, fraud, criminal activity, or other risks associated with a User Entity after these Stripe Issuing Accountholder Terms terminate; or (b) Law requires.

13.3 Stripe Remedies - Scope.

Without limiting Stripe’s other rights and remedies under this Agreement, if a triggering event in Sections 13.1 or 13.2 of these Stripe Issuing Accountholder Terms (or any other provision of this Agreement that refers to these remedies) has occurred, then, Stripe may: (a) suspend or terminate User’s Stripe Issuing Account or any or all Cards; (b) declare any amounts User owes to Stripe due and payable; (c) refuse to authorize any Card Transactions; (d) reverse any Card Transactions; and (e) terminate these Stripe Issuing Accountholder Terms and offboard User as a Stripe Issuing Accountholder.

Stripe Issuing—Platform (United Kingdom and European Economic Area)

Last modified: September 28, 2026

1. Stripe Issuing Services - Platform.

These terms (“Stripe Issuing Platform Terms”) supplement the General Terms and, together with the Stripe Financial Services Terms, and Stripe Connect Infrastructure Terms each of which are incorporated into these terms by this reference, govern User’s participation in the Stripe Issuing Program as a Stripe Connect Platform. If User receives Cards and otherwise participates in the Stripe Issuing Program as a Stripe Issuing Accountholder, the Stripe Issuing Accountholder Terms apply. Capitalized terms that are not defined in these terms have the same meanings given to them in the General Terms, Stripe Financial Services Terms, and Stripe Connect Infrastructure Terms.

2. Overview.

User and Stripe will jointly establish a program through which eligible Connected Accounts may access a Stripe Issuing Program. User must offer the Stripe Issuing Program only to eligible Connected Accounts for their business purposes.

3. Approvals and Onboarding.

3.1 Approvals.

(a) Platform Approval. Stripe must approve User’s use of the Stripe Issuing Platform Services and prior to granting its approval, Stripe may require User to provide User Information, and information about User’s activities and intended use of the Stripe Issuing Platform Services. This information may be separate from or in addition to information User previously provided to Stripe in connection with other Services. User must promptly provide information related to User’s use of the Stripe Issuing Program that Stripe may request from time to time.

(b) Connected Account Approval. Stripe must approve each Connected Account before it can become a Stripe Issuing Accountholder.

3.2 Use of the Issuing Platform Services.

Stripe will provide Stripe Issuing Platform Services to User, and Stripe Issuing Services to Stripe Issuing Accountholders. Stripe will issue Cards directly to a Stripe Issuing Accountholder for the Stripe Issuing Accountholder to provide to Issuing Authorized Users for use on business-related purchases and as otherwise permitted by Stripe. User acknowledges and agrees that, in respect of the Regulated Financial Services, Stripe’s customers are the Stripe Issuing Accountholders and not User or any Issuing Authorized Users (who will be acting under the authority of the Stripe Issuing Accountholder).

3.3 Stripe Issuing Program Territory.

User must not offer, market or make the Stripe Issuing Program available to Connected Accounts domiciled outside of (a) the UK and Gibraltar, for Cards issued by SPUKL; and (b) the EEA, for Cards issued by STEL. User must ensure that no Stripe Issuing Accountholder is domiciled outside of (i) the UK and Gibraltar, for Cards issued by SPUKL; and (ii) the EEA, for Cards issued by STEL.

4. Onboarding.

4.1 Stripe Issuing Accountholder Onboarding.

Either User or Stripe may host the Stripe Issuing Accountholder onboarding process.

(a) User Hosted Onboarding. If User hosts onboarding, User must configure the Stripe API to meet the following requirements:

(i) Stripe Issuing Accountholder Application. Stripe will make available to User an approved electronic application form for Stripe Issuing Accountholders. User must make this form available to Connected Accounts that wish to use the Stripe Issuing Accountholder Services. Each Connected Account must provide information identifying it and its Principal Owners, Stripe Issuing Administrators, Issuing Authorised Users and representatives and any other information requested by Stripe. Stripe may use this information to (A) verify the Connected Account’s identity; (B) determine the Connected Account’s eligibility to be a Stripe Issuing Accountholder and confirm it is not engaged in a Prohibited or Restricted Business; and (C) administer the Stripe Issuing Program. After Stripe receives a completed application, Stripe will determine whether the Connected Account is approved as a Stripe Issuing Accountholder.

(ii) Stripe Issuing Accountholder Terms. User must (A) present the Stripe Issuing Accountholder Terms to each Connected Account before that Connected Account submits its accountholder application, and (B) ensure that each Connected Account agrees to the Stripe Issuing Accountholder Terms in the manner the Stripe Issuing Program Guidelines describe. User must not modify or supplement any provision of the Stripe Issuing Accountholder Terms without Stripe’s prior approval.

(iii) Acceptance Records. User must maintain a record and description of the user interfaces used to collect acceptance (including date and time) of the Stripe Issuing Accountholder Terms in a retrievable and examinable format and at Stripe’s request, provide them to Stripe. If Stripe believes that User’s existing acceptance process does not create a binding agreement between Stripe and each Connected Account, upon Stripe’s request, User must modify that process as Stripe requires.

(iv) Updates to Stripe Issuing Accountholder Terms. Stripe may modify the Stripe Issuing Accountholder Terms at any time. Stripe will notify User if Stripe modifies the Stripe Issuing Accountholder Terms. User must notify User’s Stripe Issuing Accountholders of the modification within the time period specified by Stripe in the modification notice. At Stripe’s request, User must provide Stripe with proof of such notification. If any Stripe Issuing Accountholder informs User that they do not agree to the updated Stripe Issuing Accountholder Terms, User must stop making the Stripe Issuing Accountholder Services available to that Stripe Issuing Accountholder before the proposed date of entry into force of the updated Stripe Issuing Accountholder Terms.

(b) Stripe-Hosted Onboarding. If Stripe hosts the onboarding process, User must integrate with the applicable Stripe API according to the Documentation and this Agreement.

4.2 Opening an Account.

Stripe may use all information that User provides to Stripe about a Connected Account to monitor each Stripe Issuing Accountholder’s Principal Owners, Stripe Issuing Administrators, Issuing Authorized Users, representatives, and individuals with significant responsibility for management, including executives and senior managers, for the purpose of meeting Stripe’s obligations under Law. Stripe may reject any Connected Account's application for, and terminate any Stripe Issuing Accountholder’s access to, the Stripe Issuing Accountholder Services immediately to comply with Law or if any Connected Account, Stripe Issuing Accountholder, Principal Owner, Stripe Issuing Administrator, Issuing Authorized User, representative, or individual with significant responsibility for management is or becomes a High-Risk Person or uses the Stripe Issuing Program for a Card Unauthorized Purpose.

4.3 Issuing Authorized Users.

Approved Stripe Issuing Accountholders may designate Issuing Authorized Users to make Card Transactions on their behalf in accordance with the Stripe Issuing Accountholder Terms.

4.4 Issuing Authorized User Servicing.

User must provide all support to, and handle all enquiries from, Stripe Issuing Accountholders and Issuing Authorized Users, including regarding Card usage, and lost, damaged or stolen Cards. User must provide this support according to the Stripe Issuing Program Guidelines. Unless Stripe agrees otherwise, User must not outsource User’s support obligations to any third party. On a monthly basis or as otherwise requested by Stripe, User must provide to Stripe a report of Issuing Complaints that User received and handled during the prior month, as described in the Stripe Issuing Program Guidelines.

4.5 Data Use Disclosure.

User must disclose to all prospective Stripe Issuing Accountholders and prospective Issuing Authorized Users that User may provide Personal Data to Stripe, and that Stripe may receive or collect Personal Data. User must ensure that Stripe’s Privacy Policy is made available to each prospective Stripe Issuing Accountholder prior to their participation in the Stripe Issuing Program.

4.6 No User Modifications.

User must not modify or supplement any provision of the Stripe Issuing Accountholder Terms.

5. Responsibility for Activity.

Except as expressly provided in this Agreement, and without prejudice to the Stripe Connect Infrastructure Terms, User is responsible for all Activity relating to the Stripe Issuing Program, whether initiated by User, a Stripe Issuing Accountholder, an Issuing Authorized User, or any person using User’s credentials, including (a) use of the Stripe Issuing Services for a Card Unauthorized Purpose, or in violation of this Agreement, or the applicable Card Network Rules; (b) all Card Transactions on the Stripe Issuing Account; and (c) any fees, losses, damages or costs that Stripe incurs arising out of or relating to that Activity, including insufficient funds availability to cover debit requests from Stripe or due to debit reversals. Stripe may attempt to collect any amounts owed by Stripe Issuing Accountholders before Stripe collects these amounts from User. However, User remains jointly and severally liable to Stripe for these amounts, and Stripe may collect these amounts from User in accordance with this Agreement. User must reimburse Stripe for all amounts refunded by Stripe to Stripe Issuing Accountholders related to unauthorized Card Transactions.

6. Cards and Card Orders.

User and User’s Stripe Issuing Accountholders may request specific Card designs. User must submit all Card designs to Stripe for review and approval using the process Stripe requires. Stripe will review Card design proposals for compliance with this Agreement, the Card Network Rules, Law and Stripe reputational considerations. If Stripe does not approve a proposed Card design, Stripe will recommend modifications that, if made, will meet these requirements. User must resubmit the modified design to Stripe for approval using the same process.

6.2 Card Orders.

User may order Cards on behalf of Stripe Issuing Accountholders through User’s Stripe Dashboard or the Stripe API. At User’s expense, Stripe will procure and ship (a) Cards based on the information contained in each Card order to the address specified in that Card order; and (b) replacements for Cards reported as lost, stolen or damaged. Risk of loss for Cards passes to the recipient (either User or the Stripe Issuing Accountholder, as applicable) when Stripe ships the Card to the address specified in the order.

6.3 Card Ownership; Limitations.

Stripe owns each Card. If Stripe requests that User or a Stripe Issuing Accountholder return a Card, then User must return, or ensure that the Stripe Issuing Accountholder returns, that Card promptly to Stripe. Stripe may cancel, repossess or restrict the use of Cards at any time, and may decline to authorised or reverse any Card Transaction.

6.4 Personal Data Security.

User will be able to download monthly Card Transaction statements via the Stripe Technology. The Card Transaction statements will show: (a) information related to each Card Transaction which will enable it to be identified and, where appropriate, information on the payee; (b) the amount of the Card Transaction shown in the currency in which the Card Transaction was paid; (c) the amount of charges for the Card Transaction; (d) where applicable, the actual exchange rate applied to the Card Transaction; and (e) the date on which the Card Transaction is authorized or posted to the relevant Stripe Issuing Account.

10.3 Responsibility for Card Transactions.

To the extent Law permits, if User, a Stripe Issuing Accountholder or an Issuing Authorized User allows another party to use the Card or Personal Data for any purpose, or if an unauthorized person uses a Card or Personal Data, User is responsible for that use, including all losses, damages, costs, fines, fees, or penalties related to that use.

11. Card Disputes.

User must immediately submit any disputes User receives to Stripe through the Stripe API or the Stripe Dashboard.

User must not interfere with any Stripe Issuing Accountholder’s ability to dispute a Card Transaction.

11.2 Reporting Unauthorized Transactions.

If a Card is lost or stolen, or a Stripe Issuing Accountholder believes that there are unauthorized transactions on a Card, User must immediately (a) report those Card Transactions to Stripe by filing a dispute through the Stripe Dashboard or User must facilitate the Stripe Issuing Accountholder in filing a dispute for those Card Transactions to Stripe, and (b) cancel any compromised Cards through the Stripe API or the Stripe Dashboard.

Stripe Issuing Accountholders must notify Stripe of any incorrectly executed, defective or unauthorized Card Transactions to Stripe without any undue delay, and, in any event, within 13 months of the date the Card Transaction appears on their Stripe Issuing Account.

11.5 Determining Disputed Card Transactions.

When a Stripe Issuing Accountholder submits or reports an incorrectly executed, defective or unauthorized Card Transaction, Stripe will evaluate the submitted information in accordance with Law and the Card Network Rules. If Stripe or the Card Network determines, in its sole discretion, that the dispute is valid or the Card Transaction was defective, incorrectly executed or unauthorized, Stripe will credit the amount of the applicable Card Transaction back to the applicable Stripe Issuing Account. User must abide by the determination of any dispute. User may not pass any dispute fees User incurs as a result of any unauthorized Card Transactions on to a Stripe Issuing Accountholder.

User must provide all proposed Card designs to Stripe for review and approval using the process Stripe requires. Stripe will review Card design proposals for compliance with this Agreement, Issuing Bank requirements, the Card Network Rules, Law, and Stripe reputational considerations. If Stripe does not approve a proposed Card design, Stripe will recommend modifications that, if made, will meet these requirements. User must resubmit the modified Card design to Stripe for approval using the same process.

3.2 Card Orders.

User may order Cards through User’s Stripe Dashboard (or, if applicable, through User’s Platform Provider). At User’s, or, if applicable, User’s Platform Provider’s, expense, Stripe will procure and ship (a) Cards based on the information contained in the applicable Card order to the address specified in that Card order; and (b) replacements for Cards reported as lost, stolen or damaged. Risk of loss for Cards passes to the recipient (either User or User’s Platform Provider, as applicable) when Stripe ships the Card to the address specified in the order.

3.3 Card Activation.

User must activate a Card through User’s Stripe Dashboard (or, if applicable, through User’s Platform Provider) before User or an Issuing Authorized User uses that Card. All Cards issued to User are linked to User’s Stripe Issuing Account. Once a Card is activated, User or User’s Issuing Authorized Users, as applicable, may use Cards to initiate Card Transactions on User’s behalf.

3.4 Card Ownership; Limitations.

The applicable Issuing Bank owns each Card. If Stripe requests that User or an Issuing Authorized User return a Card, then User must return, or ensure that the Issuing Authorized User returns, that Card promptly to Stripe or the Issuing Bank as Stripe instructs. Stripe or the applicable Issuing Bank may cancel, repossess or restrict the use of Cards at any time according to the applicable Issuing Bank Terms.

3.5 User Materials.

User must have the necessary rights in the User Materials to use (and grant Stripe the rights to use) the User Materials on the Cards or for the purposes of the Stripe Issuing Program. User grants to Stripe and its Affiliates a worldwide, non-exclusive, royalty-free license to use the User Materials on Cards and applicable Stripe Issuing Program materials. User also grants to Stripe and its Affiliates the right to sublicense these rights to third parties that Stripe engages to create Cards and applicable Stripe Issuing Program materials. If User terminates or revokes the license to the User Materials, then (a) Stripe will stop producing new Cards carrying the User Materials and stop using the User Materials for the purposes of the Stripe Issuing Program; (b) Stripe will not be obligated to recall, destroy or replace any existing Cards carrying the User Materials; and (c) Stripe will not be liable for any delay or failure in performing its obligations to the extent they are adversely affected by the termination or revocation.

3.6 Limits and Available Spend.

In addition to the restrictions described in the applicable Issuing Bank Terms, User may establish additional restrictions related to User’s Stripe Issuing Account and Cards in accordance with the Issuing Bank Terms (e.g., on the dollar amount of individual Card Transactions, and the types of merchants with which User’s Cards may be used). Each of the Issuing Bank and Stripe may prevent Cards from functioning outside of the Territory. User must communicate all applicable restrictions to User’s Issuing Authorized Users. If at any time the amount of a Card Transaction exceeds Available Spend and the Issuing Bank (or Stripe on Issuing Bank’s behalf) does not receive payment from another Payment Source, then, in addition to all other remedies described in Section 7.2 of these Stripe Issuing Accountholder Terms, Stripe may limit User’s and User’s Issuing Authorized Users ability to make Card Transactions.

4. Card Transactions.

4.1 Ability to Decline to Authorize a Card Transaction.

Stripe or an Issuing Bank may reverse or decline to authorize a Card Transaction for any of the reasons set forth in the applicable Issuing Bank Terms. Neither Stripe nor the Issuing Bank is liable for any losses, damages, costs, fines, fees, or penalties User incurs related to reversed or declined Card Transactions.

4.2 Currency Conversion.

If a Card Transaction is in a Supported Currency, Stripe will process the Card Transaction in the applicable Supported Currency. If User’s balance in the applicable Supported Currency is insufficient to complete the Card Transaction and User has a sufficient balance available in User’s default currency, SPC will convert the Card Transaction amount from the Supported Currency to User’s default currency to complete the Card Transaction. If a requested Card Transaction requires a currency conversion, then the exchange rate used for that conversion will be determined as stated in the Documentation. Where currency conversion is part of a Card Transaction, any quoted payout amounts and associated fees are estimates, and may fluctuate based on changes in the exchange rate that applies when the currency conversion takes place. The Issuing Bank Terms describe currency conversions that may be completed by Financial Providers.

5. Default; Termination.

5.1 Default.

User is in default under these Stripe Issuing Accountholder Terms if (a) User violates Law, or breach these Stripe Issuing Accountholder Terms, the Issuing Bank Terms, or the Card Network Rules; (b) User fails to pay any amounts User owes to Stripe or the applicable Issuing Bank in connection with the Stripe Issuing Program; (c) User initiates a Card Transaction that would exceed or violate a limit established for User’s use of the Stripe Issuing Program; (d) Stripe or the applicable Issuing Bank determines that User provided inaccurate information in User’s application, or that User has failed to keep this information current; or (e) Stripe or the applicable Issuing Bank determines that User poses an unacceptable regulatory, reputational or financial risk.

5.2 Stripe’s Right to Suspend or Terminate.

If User is in default under these Stripe Issuing Accountholder Terms, Stripe may (a) suspend or terminate User’s Stripe Issuing Account or any or all Cards; (b) declare any amounts User owes to Stripe or the applicable Issuing Bank immediately due and payable; (c) refuse to authorize any Card Transactions; (d) reverse any Card Transactions; (e) terminate these Stripe Issuing Accountholder Terms; and (f) take any other action Stripe deems necessary. In addition, Stripe may suspend or terminate User’s Stripe Issuing Account or any Cards if the applicable Issuing Bank directs Stripe to do so.

5.3 Reactivating after Suspension.

If Stripe suspends User’s Stripe Issuing Account or a Card, Stripe may require User to pay amounts User owes to Stripe or the Issuing Bank before reactivating User’s Stripe Issuing Account or that Card.

5.4 Right of Setoff.

Stripe, for itself and on behalf of the applicable Issuing Bank, may set off any amounts User owes to Stripe or the Issuing Bank in connection with User’s participation in the Stripe Issuing Program against other funds that Stripe or the Issuing Bank holds or processes on User’s behalf.

5.5 Closing User’s Stripe Issuing Account.

User may close User’s Stripe Issuing Account or any Card by notifying Stripe (or, if applicable, User’s Platform Provider).

6. Data Protection.

6.1 Data Protection.

User must have and maintain all necessary rights and consents under Law to provide to Stripe and the applicable Issuing Bank, and to allow Stripe and the applicable Issuing Bank to collect, use, retain and disclose, all Personal Data that User provides to Stripe or any Issuing Bank or authorizes Stripe and any Issuing Bank to collect, including data that Stripe may collect directly from Issuing Authorized Users. User is solely responsible for disclosing to Issuing Authorized Users that Stripe may receive Personal Data from User. User must provide all necessary notices to and obtain all necessary rights and consents from each Issuing Authorized User sufficient to enable Stripe to lawfully collect, use, retain and disclose their Personal Data in the ways this Agreement (including Section 4 of the General Terms) and Stripe's Privacy Policy describe. Stripe provides Issuing Authorized Users' Personal Data to third-party service providers, including third parties engaged for Card printing services, and their respective Affiliates, as well as to Stripe’s Affiliates, to enable Stripe to provide the Stripe Issuing Program. Stripe may delete or disconnect an Issuing Authorized User’s Personal Data from User’s Stripe Issuing Account when Law or the Card Network Rules require.

6.2 User’s Use of Personal Data and Stripe Data.

User must only use Personal Data related to User’s Stripe Issuing Account for User’s internal business purposes and to fulfill User’s obligations under this Agreement. User must not use Personal Data or Stripe Data as part of a “consumer report” as that term is defined in the FCRA or in any manner that could subject Stripe to the FCRA or any claim of unfair or illegal decision making.

6.3 Stripe’s Use of Personal Data on behalf of Issuing Bank.

Without limiting its other rights under the Agreement, Stripe may process, use and disclose Personal Data for the purposes identified in the Issuing Bank Terms.

Last modified: September 28, 2026

1. Stripe Issuing Services.

These terms (“Stripe Issuing Platform Terms”) supplement the General Terms and, together with the Stripe Financial Services Terms, and Stripe Connect Infrastructure Terms each of which are incorporated into these terms by this reference, govern User’s participation in the Stripe Issuing Programs as a Stripe Connect Platform. If User receives Cards and otherwise participates in the Stripe Issuing Programs as a Stripe Issuing Accountholder, the Stripe Issuing Accountholder Terms apply. Capitalized terms that are not defined in these terms have the same meanings given to them in the General Terms, Stripe Financial Services Terms, Financial Provider Terms, and Stripe Connect Infrastructure Terms.

2. Overview.

2.1 Program.

User and Stripe will jointly establish a program through which eligible Connected Accounts may access a Stripe Issuing Program. Stripe offers several Stripe Issuing Programs in partnership with several Issuing Banks, and User can view the Stripe Issuing Program offered to User’s Connected Accounts through User’s Stripe Dashboard. User must offer the Stripe Issuing Program only to eligible Connected Accounts for their business purposes.

3. Approvals and Onboarding.

3.1 Approvals.

(a) Platform Approval. Stripe and the applicable Issuing Bank must each approve User’s use of the Stripe Issuing Platform Services, and prior to granting their approval, they may require User to provide User Information and information about User’s activities and intended use of the Stripe Issuing Platform Services. This information may be separate from or in addition to information User previously provided to Stripe in connection with other Services. User must promptly provide this information, and any other information related to User’s use of the Stripe Issuing Program that Stripe or the applicable Issuing Bank may request from time to time.

(b) Connected Account Approval. Stripe and the applicable Issuing Bank must approve each Connected Account before it can become a Stripe Issuing Accountholder.

3.2 Stripe Issuing Accountholder Onboarding.

Either User or Stripe may host the Stripe Issuing Accountholder onboarding process. Certain Stripe Issuing Programs may require User to host onboarding.

(a) User-Hosted Onboarding. If User hosts onboarding, User must configure the Stripe API to meet the following requirements:

(i) Stripe Issuing Accountholder Application. Stripe will make available to User an approved electronic application form for Stripe Issuing Accountholders. User must make this form available to Connected Accounts that wish to use the Stripe Issuing Accountholder Services. Each Connected Account must submit in its application all information necessary for Stripe and the Issuing Bank to (A) verify the Connected Account’s identity; (B) confirm that the Connected Account is not engaged in a Prohibited or Restricted Business; and (C) confirm the Connected Account’s eligibility to use the Stripe Issuing Accountholder Services. After Stripe receives a completed application, Stripe, on behalf of the applicable Issuing Bank, will determine whether the Connected Account is approved as a Stripe Issuing Accountholder.

(ii) Presentation of Terms. User must (A) present the agreements described in the Documentation, including the Card Program Terms and the applicable Issuing Bank Terms to each Connected Account before that Connected Account submits its accountholder application; and (B) ensure that each Connected Account agrees to these terms, in each case in the manner the Stripe Issuing Program Guidelines describe.

(iii) Acceptance Records. User must maintain a record and description of the user interfaces that User uses to collect acceptance of the relevant Stripe terms and Issuing Bank terms (including date and time) in a retrievable and examinable format, and at Stripe’s request, provide them to Stripe. If Stripe believes that User’s existing acceptance process does not (A) create a binding agreement between each Connected Account and each of Stripe and the Issuing Bank; or (B) comply with the applicable Issuing Bank’s requirements, then, upon Stripe’s request, User must modify that process as Stripe or the Issuing Bank requires.

(iv) Issuing Authorized User Terms. Stripe Issuing Accountholders may designate Issuing Authorized Users to make Card Transactions on their behalf. User must ensure that each Stripe Issuing Accountholder presents the Issuing Authorized User Terms to each Issuing Authorized User, and that each Issuing Authorized User agrees to the Issuing Authorized User Terms, in the manner described in the Stripe Issuing Program Guidelines. At Stripe’s request, User must provide proof as Stripe requires that these terms have been entered into by Issuing Authorized Users. If Stripe believes that User’s existing process does not (A) create a binding agreement between any Stripe Issuing Accountholders and each Issuing Authorized User; or (B) comply with the applicable Issuing Bank’s requirements, then, upon Stripe’s request, User must modify that process as Stripe or the Issuing Bank requires.

(v) Data Use Disclosure. User must disclose to all prospective Stripe Issuing Accountholders that User may provide Personal Data to Stripe and the applicable Issuing Bank, and that Stripe and the applicable Issuing Bank may receive or collect Personal Data. User must ensure that each prospective Stripe Issuing Accountholder consents to Stripe’s Privacy Policy.

(vi) No User Modifications. User must not modify or supplement any provision of any Stripe terms, including the Stripe Issuing Accountholder Terms and Issuing Authorized User Terms, or the Issuing Bank Terms.

4.1 Updates to Stripe Issuing Accountholder Terms.

Stripe may modify the Stripe Issuing Accountholder Terms, and each Issuing Bank may modify the applicable Issuing Bank Terms, at any time. Stripe will notify User if Stripe modifies the Stripe Issuing Accountholder Terms or an Issuing Bank modifies the Issuing Bank Terms, in each case as applicable to User’s Stripe Issuing Program. User must notify User’s Stripe Issuing Accountholders of a modification promptly after User receives the modification notice from Stripe. If any Stripe Issuing Accountholder does not agree to the updated Stripe Issuing Accountholder Terms or Issuing Bank Terms, User must immediately stop making the Stripe Issuing Accountholder Services available to that Stripe Issuing Accountholder.

4.2 Stripe Issuing Accountholder Fees.

User is liable to Stripe for fees User and User’s Stripe Issuing Accountholders incur.

User must not pass any fees to any Stripe Issuing Accountholder that are attributable to (a) a Stripe Issuing Accountholder’s use of Apple Pay or any other digital wallet; or (b) a Card Transaction that was disputed because it was fraudulent or otherwise unauthorized. User is solely responsible for communicating any use, recurring, or application fees charged to User’s Stripe Issuing Accountholders for their use of Platform Services in connection with the Stripe Issuing Services, and must clearly communicate those fees to Stripe Issuing Accountholders prior to imposing such fees. Stripe, on behalf of the applicable Issuing Bank, may review the fees User charges User’s Stripe Issuing Accountholders in connection with the Stripe Issuing Services to determine whether the fees comply with that Issuing Bank’s requirements, the Card Network Rules and Law. If Stripe determines the fees do not comply, User must immediately modify the fees as Stripe directs.

4.3 Program Fees.

Stripe will provide the Stripe Issuing Platform Services to User and the Stripe Issuing Accountholder Services to Stripe Issuing Accountholders at the rates and for the fees described on the Stripe Pricing Page, unless User and Stripe otherwise agree in writing.

If applicable, Stripe will only issue Tax Information Reports to User, and not to Stripe Issuing Accountholders. User is responsible for any applicable Tax Information Reports, or withholding, to Stripe Issuing Accountholders.

5.2 Indemnity.

User will indemnify Stripe from all Taxes, and related interest, penalties and fees (excluding any income, franchise or similar taxes payable with respect to the Fees), if any, imposed on a Stripe Entity as a result of User’s failure to timely file any Tax Information Reports under Section 5.1 of these Stripe Issuing Platform Terms. “Tax Information Report” means a required tax information return or report, including IRS Form 1099, or any other similar form.

6. Cards; Card Orders.

6.1 Card Design.

User and User’s Stripe Issuing Accountholders may request specific Card designs. User must submit all Card designs to Stripe for review using the process Stripe requires. Stripe will review Card design proposals for compliance with this Agreement, Issuing Bank requirements, the Card Network Rules, Law, and Stripe reputational considerations. If Stripe does not approve a proposed Card design, Stripe will recommend modifications that, if made, will meet these requirements. User must resubmit the modified design to Stripe for approval using the same process.

6.2 Card Orders.

User may order Cards on behalf of Stripe Issuing Accountholders through User’s Stripe Dashboard or the Stripe API. At User’s expense, Stripe will procure and ship (a) Cards based on the information contained in each Card order to the address specified in that Card order; and (b) replacements for Cards reported as lost, stolen or damaged. Risk of loss for Cards passes to the recipient (either User or the Stripe Issuing Accountholder, as applicable) when Stripe ships the Card to the address specified in the order.

6.3 Card Ownership; Limitations.

The applicable Issuing Bank owns each Card. If Stripe requests that User or a Stripe Issuing Accountholder return a Card, then User must return, or ensure that the Stripe Issuing Accountholder returns, that Card promptly to Stripe or the applicable Issuing Bank as Stripe instructs. Stripe or the applicable Issuing Bank may cancel, repossess or restrict the use of Cards at any time, and may decline to authorize or reverse any Card Transaction, according to the applicable Issuing Bank Terms.

6.4 Personal Data Security.

If User processes, accesses, stores, or retrieves Personal Data from User’s Stripe Dashboard or Stripe API, User must ensure that the Personal Data is secured in accordance with this Agreement, including Sections 10.2 and 12 of these Stripe Issuing Platform Terms.

6.5 User Materials.

User must have the necessary rights in and to the User Materials to use (and grant Stripe the rights to use) the User Materials on the Cards and other materials related to the Stripe Issuing Programs. User grants to Stripe and its Affiliates a worldwide, non-exclusive, royalty-free license during the Term to use the User Materials on Cards and applicable Stripe Issuing Program materials. User also grants to Stripe and its Affiliates the right to sublicense these rights to third parties that Stripe engages to create Cards and applicable Stripe Issuing Program materials.

7. Use of Stripe Issuing Services.

7.1 Opening an Account.

Stripe and the Issuing Bank may use all information that User provides to Stripe about a Connected Account to (a) determine the Connected Account’s eligibility to be a Stripe Issuing Accountholder; (b) administer the Stripe Issuing Programs; and (c) monitor each Stripe Issuing Accountholder’s Principal Owners, Stripe Issuing Administrators, Issuing Authorized Users, representatives, and individuals with significant responsibility for management, including executives and senior managers, for the purpose of meeting Stripe’s and the applicable Issuing Bank’s respective obligations under Law. Stripe or an Issuing Bank may reject any Connected Account’s application for, or terminate any Stripe Issuing Accountholder’s access to, the Stripe Issuing Accountholder Services immediately to comply with Law, manage risk associated with any User, or if any Connected Account, Stripe Issuing Accountholder, or any Principal Owner, Stripe Issuing Administrator, Issuing Authorized User, representative, or individual with significant responsibility for management is or becomes a High-Risk Person.

7.2 Issuing Authorized User Servicing.

User must provide all support to, and handle all inquiries and Issuing Complaints from, Stripe Issuing Accountholders and Issuing Authorized Users, including regarding Card usage, and lost, damaged or stolen Cards.

On a monthly basis, User must provide to Stripe a report of Issuing Complaints that User received and handled during the prior month as described in the Stripe Issuing Program Guidelines. At an Issuing Bank’s request, Stripe may require User to provide an anonymized sample of Issuing Complaints, if any, to validate the report.

7.3 Responsibility for Activity.

Except as expressly provided in this Agreement, and without prejudice to the Stripe Connect Infrastructure Terms, User is responsible for all Activity relating to the Stripe Issuing Program, whether initiated by User, a Stripe Issuing Accountholder, an Issuing Authorized User, or any person using User’s credentials, including (a) in violation of this Agreement, or the applicable Card Network Rules; (b) all Card Transactions on the Stripe Issuing Account; and (c) any fees, losses, damages, or costs that Stripe incurs arising out of or relating to that Activity.

As between the parties, Stripe, either directly or through its Affiliate, SPC, is responsible for all aspects of establishing and managing its relationships with Issuing Banks.

10.4 Additional Data Restrictions.

User must not use Personal Data or Stripe Data as part of a “consumer report” as that term is defined in the FCRA. User must not use any Stripe Data in any manner that could subject Stripe to the FCRA or any claim of unfair or illegal decision making.

11. Card Disputes.

11.1 Disputes Generally; Disputes API Form.

Stripe will make the Disputes API Form available to User. User must either (a) configure the Stripe API to make the Disputes API Form available to User’s Stripe Issuing Accountholders; or (b) provide a channel through which Stripe Issuing Accountholders can submit disputes to User. User must immediately submit any disputes User receives to Stripe through the Stripe API or the Stripe Dashboard.

User must not interfere with any Stripe Issuing Accountholder’s ability to dispute a Card Transaction.

11.2 Reporting Unauthorized Transactions.

If a Card is lost or stolen, or a Stripe Issuing Accountholder informs User that there are fraudulent or unauthorized transactions on a Card, User must immediately cancel the affected Card through the Stripe API or the Stripe Dashboard. Disputing a fraudulent or unauthorized Card Transaction will not cancel a Card. If User fails to cancel a compromised Card through the Stripe API or the Stripe Dashboard, User may incur additional liability.

11.3 Reporting Disputed Card Transactions.

When a Stripe Issuing Accountholder submits or reports an erroneous or unauthorized Card Transaction, Stripe will evaluate the submitted information in accordance with Law. If Stripe or the Card Network determines that the dispute is valid or the Card Transaction was erroneous or unauthorized, Stripe will credit the amount of the applicable Card Transaction back to the applicable Stripe Issuing Account. User must abide by the determination of any dispute. User must not perform any act or omission that conflicts with Stripe or the Card Network’s determination of a dispute, including by passing through any costs User incurs resulting from fraudulent or unauthorized Card Transactions to a Stripe Issuing Accountholder.

12. PCI Compliance.

User must, and User must ensure that User’s service providers that store, access or transmit Personal Data, comply with the PCI Standards. Upon Stripe’s request, User must verify that User’s implementation of the Stripe Issuing Program complies with the PCI Standards and promptly provide the most recent assessment results to Stripe.

13. Indemnification.

User will indemnify the Stripe Parties against all Stripe Losses arising out of or relating to (a) the Stripe Issuing Accountholders’ and Issuing Authorized Users’ use of the Stripe Issuing Accountholder Services, including any Stripe Issuing Accountholder’s or Issuing Authorized User’s act or omission related to the Stripe Issuing Accountholder Services; and (b) all unauthorized or disputed Card Transactions.

14.3 Scope.

Without limiting Stripe’s other rights or remedies under this Agreement, if a triggering event in Sections 14.1 or 14.2 of these Stripe Issuing Platform Terms (or any other provision of this Agreement that refers to these remedies) has occurred, then Stripe may:

(a) establish, fund, use, and apply a Reserve, which may include enforcing or drawing down upon, without demand, legal process, or notice of any kind, any security interest or lien held by Stripe in respect of the Reserve, by applying the Reserve funds toward settlement of any liabilities owed by User to any Stripe Entity;

If User controls how the Link End User Terms are presented to Mutual End Users, then prior to a Mutual End User using Link through the Link Agent Wallet Services, User will ensure that Mutual End User has agreed to the Link End User Terms, including consenting to Stripe’s use of Mutual End User Data. User will maintain a current URL for the Link End User Terms. At Stripe’s request, User must provide proof as Stripe requires that the Mutual End User has consented to and accepted the Link End User Terms.

(b) Changes. Stripe retains sole decision-making authority, responsibility and control over the Services, including any Stripe-enabled payment surfaces on Stripe web pages, and iframes. User will promptly incorporate changes requested by Stripe with respect to how Link, including any feature or functionality, is presented or made available to Mutual End Users.

(c) Transaction Approval. If User controls how the Mutual End User approves the amount of the Link Transaction or establishes and approves spend limits for one or more Link Transactions, then User will ensure that the Mutual End User approves spend limits for one or more Link Transactions prior to the initiation of the applicable Link Transaction(s) by or through User Agentic Agent. User will document the details of the approval, including the method of approval, and provide a copy of that approval to Stripe prior to the initiation of the Link Transaction. Upon Stripe’s request, User will promptly provide Stripe with necessary approval information in a timely and efficient manner.

(d) Transaction Details. With respect to Link Transactions initiated by or through User Agentic Agent, User will send to Stripe the Mutual End User Data for the purposes of (i) prefilling those Mutual End User details in the Link login, verification, or account creation; (ii) validating Mutual End User’s access to Link; (iii) performing analytics; or (iv) otherwise enabling the Link Agent Wallet Services and related Services.

2.2 Conditions of Use.

(a) Link Payment Method. User will enable Link as a Payment Method, and must have Link Payment Method enabled for the duration of its use of the Link Agent Wallet Services. User’s use of the Link Payment Method is subject to the Link Payment Method Terms and corresponding fees on the Stripe Pricing Page. To the extent User has already enabled the Link Payment Method, previously agreed to terms and pricing apply.

(b) Marketing; Services Availability. User will use commercially reasonable efforts to collaborate and develop mutually agreed-upon marketing and promotional activities and materials relating to the use of Link through the User’s Agentic Agent. User will, in good faith, evaluate making Stripe’s “Financial Insights” product offering (which is an open banking solution that enables Mutual End Users to share their financial account data with User’s Agentic Agent ) available to Mutual End Users through User’s Agentic Agent, to the extent such offering is available in the Territory. To the extent a Mutual End User uses Financial Insights to share financial account data with User through User’s Agentic Agent, User will only use such data for purposes the Mutual End User has authorized.

(c) Link Presentment. User will make Link the default payment solution for Mutual End Users through User’s Agentic Agent.

(d) Documentation. User must use the Link Agent Wallet Services only in accordance with Documentation, these Link Agent Wallet Terms and any technical specifications that Stripe provides to User or publishes.

(e) No Profiling. User must not process Personal Data for the purpose of evaluating, analyzing, or predicting the characteristics or behavior of data subjects ("Profiling"). This includes the creation of behavioral profiles, predictive models, or "look-alike" audiences. User must not subject data subjects to any automated decision-making or Profiling that produces legal or similarly significant effects.

2.3 Transaction Cap.

The total dollar value of all Link Transactions (including refunds, reversals, and disputes) initiated by or through User Agentic Agent will be determined per Stripe Documentation or as agreed to in writing by the parties (email sufficient)..

2.4 Loss Liability.

When Stripe is liable as merchant of record under the Card Network Rules for certain transaction liabilities associated with Link Transactions initiated through User Agentic Agent or funding of a custodial or non-custodial Link balance, including Link Transaction Losses, and incurs greater than USD $25,000 in Link Transaction Losses, Stripe may suspend or restrict User’s use of Link Agent Wallet Services until the parties have agreed to a Definitive Agreement.

2.5 Compliance. (a) General Compliance. User will, and is solely responsible for ensuring that (a) its use of Link and the Link Agent Wallet Services complies with Law and Card Network Rules; (b) its artificial intelligence agents, services, and systems, including User Agentic Agent (collectively, “AI Systems”), comply with Law, including those governing the development, deployment and operation of artificial intelligence systems; and (c) it implements required notices, safeguards, human oversight, and documentation with respect to its AI Systems as required by Law.

(b) PCI Compliance. User must, and must ensure that User’s service providers that store, access, or transmit Mutual End User Data, comply with the PCI Standards. Upon Stripe’s request, User must provide Stripe with evidence of User’s compliance.

3. Stripe’s Rights.

3.1 Link Transactions.

Stripe makes no guarantees that a Link Transaction initiated by or through a User Agentic Agent will be successful. Stripe and its Affiliates may decline, cancel, or refuse to initiate any Link Transaction that Stripe reasonably believes is unauthorized, fraudulent, illegal, or exposes Stripe, User, third-party merchants, or Mutual End Users to unacceptable risk. Stripe is not liable to User for this refusal. Stripe may suspend, restrict, or terminate User’s use of Link Agent Wallet Services or a Mutual End User’s access to Link through Link Agent Wallet Services (in whole or in part), including any feature or functionality, at any time for any reason in its sole discretion.

3.2 Fees.

Stripe provides the Services at no additional cost to User. Fees for use of other Stripe Services continue to apply. Stripe reserves the right to apply or change fees for the use of the Service, subject to any notice period required by Law before applying or changing fees, as well as any applicable Taxes.

For the avoidance of doubt, the parties act as independent Data Controllers with respect to Personal Data of a Mutual End User in association with the Link Agent Wallet Services.

Stripe Managed Payments

Last modified: September 28, 2026

1. Stripe Managed Payments Service.

1.1 Operation of these terms.

These terms (“Stripe Managed Payments Terms”) supplement the General Terms, the Stripe Financial Services Terms, the Stripe Payments Terms, the Stripe Connect Terms, each of which are incorporated into these Stripe Managed Payments Terms by this reference, and, together with the Documentation, govern User’s use of the Stripe Managed Payments Service. If the Stripe Managed Payments Terms conflict with the Financial Services Terms, the Stripe Payments Terms, or the Stripe Connect Terms, then the Stripe Managed Payments Terms control as applied to the Stripe Managed Payments Service. The Stripe Managed Payments Service is provided by Stripe’s Affiliate, Sold through Link, LLC (“SMP”). These Stripe Managed Payments Terms create an agreement between User and SMP for use of the Stripe Managed Payments Service. User agrees that SMP may freely assign and transfer any of its rights or obligations under these Stripe Managed Payments Terms to its Affiliates. Capitalized terms that are not defined in these Stripe Managed Payments Terms have the same meanings given to them in the General Terms, the Stripe Financial Services Terms, the Stripe Payments Terms, or the Stripe Connect Terms.

1.2 Description of Stripe Managed Payments Service.

The Stripe Managed Payments Service enables the sales of digital products to Customers by surfacing checkout pages to Customers, sending receipts, managing sales proceeds and post-sale support (e.g., disputes and transaction support), as well as calculating and remitting any applicable Indirect Taxes in certain jurisdictions, as described in the [Documentation](https://docs.stripe.com/payments/managed-payments/how-it-works).

2. Use of Stripe Managed Payments Service.

2.1 Provision of Services by SMP to Seller.

(a) Merchant of Record. SMP provides the Stripe Managed Payments Service to User, as a Seller, and not to User’s Customers. SMP is the merchant of record for Transactions using the Stripe Managed Payments Service. User appoints and authorizes SMP to facilitate the sale of User’s Product on User’s behalf in accordance with these Stripe Managed Payments Terms, and User agrees to be bound by the actions of SMP in connection with the sale of User’s Product on User’s behalf. User agrees that SMP is not the seller of record, SMP does not have or receive possession of the Product, and SMP will not book the revenue from User’s sale of the Product to Customer. User acknowledges and agrees that, for Indirect Tax purposes only and as further described in Section 4 (Responsibility for Indirect Taxes on the Sales of Products), SMP should be treated under applicable Laws as making or deemed to make the supply of the Product to the Customer, as an electronic interface operator, marketplace operator, commissionaire, agent or deemed supplier, or as the person responsible for determining, collecting, reporting and remitting Indirect Taxes in respect of that supply.

(b) Changes to User's Stripe Account. As part of providing the Stripe Managed Payments Service to User, SMP and its Affiliates may need to make changes to User’s Stripe Account, on User’s behalf, (i) enable a payment method or adjust its settings for use with the Stripe Managed Payments Service, (ii) submit evidence in connection with a Dispute for a Stripe Managed Payments Service Transaction, (iii) enable or configure fraud prevention and dispute management tools (e.g., dispute deflection and automated resolution) to maintain acceptable risk and dispute levels, (iv) delete, restrict access to, or modify Customer information or Transaction data, as requested by a Customer or required by Law, in connection with a Stripe Managed Payments Service Transaction. User authorizes SMP and its Affiliates to make the changes described in this Section.

2.2 Provision of Services by Stripe to SMP; Pooled Accounts.

SMP may provide access to the Stripe Payment Services in order to facilitate User’s sale of Products to Customers. User appoints SMP as User’s agent for the limited purpose of directing, receiving, holding and settling funds under this Agreement. All settlement funds that Stripe, SMP, or Acquiring Affiliates, as applicable, receive for Transactions are combined with settlement funds for other users and held in one or more Pooled Accounts at one or more Financial Providers. Once an Acquiring Affiliate receives funds for a Transaction, the relevant Customer has no further obligation to make payments to User with respect to that Transaction, regardless of whether and when Stripe or its Affiliate (as applicable) settles those funds to User. If Stripe or SMP (as applicable) does not settle funds due to User under this Agreement, User will have recourse only against Stripe or SMP (as applicable) and not the relevant Customer. Stripe or SMP (as applicable) will promptly update User’s Stripe Account balance to reflect processed Transactions. If, in the capacity as User’s agent, SMP provides a receipt for a Transaction to the applicable Customer, that receipt is binding on User. Stripe and its Affiliates (as applicable) may invest funds held in a Pooled Account as described in the General Terms. User has no rights to any Pooled Account, or earnings generated by funds held in any Pooled Account, and are not entitled to draw funds from any Pooled Account.

2.3 Provision of Services by Stripe to Customers.

Stripe and its Affiliates may separately provide other Stripe services to Customers.

3. User's Use of the Service.

3.1 Use of the Service and Termination.

Stripe Managed Payments Service only applies to, and may only be used for, Transactions for eligible Products that User elects to sell via the Stripe Managed Payments Service. By using the Stripe Managed Payments Service, User’s Stripe Account is treated as a Connected Account to SMP as the Platform. These Stripe Managed Payments Terms incorporate by reference the Connected Account Agreement. SMP reserves the right to suspend or terminate User’s use of the Stripe Managed Payments Service at any time. If SMP or its Affiliates determines that User’s products do not qualify as eligible Products, SMP and its Affiliates may (i) require User to stop using the Stripe Managed Payments Service for the ineligible products, or (ii) offboard the ineligible products from the Stripe Managed Payments Service.

3.2 Subscriptions.

For any Product sold on a subscription basis via the Stripe Managed Payments Service, User must clearly and conspicuously disclose the terms of the subscription to Customers before or at checkout, including subscription amount and frequency of the charge, term length, whether the subscription automatically renews, the subscription amount upon renewal, any additional fees and costs related to the subscription, and a method for cancellation. If User elects to manage its existing Customer subscriptions for Products through Stripe Managed Payments Service, User will, as of the date it starts using the Stripe Managed Payments Service and at all times during the Term:

(a) have the necessary contractual rights to assign or transfer existing Customer subscriptions to be managed through Stripe Managed Payments Service and to appoint SMP to charge and collect subscription amounts owed by Customers;

(b) have appointed SMP as User’s agent before SMP charges and collects subscription amounts on User’s behalf from User’s Customers, and will maintain that agency appointment; and

(c) will give notice to User’s Customers that SMP will be responsible for charging and collecting subscription amounts owed by Customers.

If User elects to stop managing Customer subscriptions for Products through Stripe Managed Payments Service to manage them directly, User will, as of the date of User’s election:

(x) have the necessary contractual rights and capabilities to manage the subscriptions and to charge and collect subscription amounts owed by Customers; and

(y) will give timely notice to the affected Customers that SMP will no longer charge and collect subscription amounts owed for the sale of User’s Product, that there is no further relationship between SMP and User’s Customers, and any services provided by Stripe or its Affiliates to Customers related to those subscriptions will no longer be provided.

3.3 Refund Policy.

SMP reserves the right to issue refunds within 60 days of a Customer’s purchase of a Product via the Stripe Managed Payments Service regardless of any more restrictive refund policy User has set with its Customers. User’s refund policy remains subject to the SMP refund policy, located at [https://support.link.com/questions/sold-through-link-refunds](https://support.link.com/questions/sold-through-link-refunds), at all times. In the event of a conflict between the SMP refund policy and User’s refund policy, the SMP refund policy will control where User’s refund policy is more restrictive than the SMP refund policy. If SMP is required to make a Refund by Law, including Law applicable to Customer's location, User is liable for the full amount of the Refund regardless of any refund policy. User, as Seller, is liable to SMP and its Affiliates for the full amount of any Disputes, refunds, and Reversals resulting from User’s sale of Products using the Stripe Managed Payments Service. SMP or its Affiliates will debit the amount of any Disputes, refunds, and Reversals from User’s Stripe Account balance or, where permitted by Law, User’s User Bank Account.

3.4 Customer Disputes and Refunds.

(a) User Cooperation. User will have an opportunity to address Customer complaints and Disputes. If SMP contacts User for additional information about the sale of a Product, User has an opportunity to respond within 48 hours of the request and provide to SMP the requested information. If User does not provide the requested information or a timely response, SMP may refund the payment to the Customer without User’s input.

(b) Dispute Rate Management. SMP may, at its discretion, enable and configure dispute prevention, deflection, and resolution features on User’s behalf to manage User’s dispute rate and maintain the integrity of the Stripe Managed Payments Service. User is responsible for any fees associated with dispute management tools, including when enabled on User’s behalf, as described in the relevant Documentation or on the Stripe Pricing Page.

3.5 Seller Information.

User authorizes Stripe and its Affiliates to provide User Information to Stripe’s Financial Providers in connection with User’s use of the Stripe Managed Payments Service.

3.6 Payment Methods.

The Stripe Payments Terms apply when User uses the Stripe Managed Payments Service. Section 3 (“Payment Methods and Transactions; Payment Method Rules and Payment Method Terms”) of the Stripe Payments Terms are modified to apply to User as the Seller when using Stripe Managed Payments Service and any reference to Stripe Payments Services is replaced with the Stripe Managed Payments Service. For clarity, when using the Stripe Managed Payments Service, (a) references to submitting Transactions refers to SMP submitting Transactions on User’s behalf, and (b) Section 3.5 of the Stripe Payments Terms (“American Express Conversion – Only Applicable to the American Express Card Network”) does not apply. User, as Seller, is responsible for compliance with the specific requirements for acceptance and use of Payment Methods that are offered to Customers through User’s use of the Stripe Managed Payments Service, unless already complied with on User’s behalf by the Stripe Managed Payments Service (e.g., providing a receipt that accurately describes each Transaction).

3.7 Liability for Payment Methods.

(a) Pass-Throughs. Stripe will pass through to User and User is responsible for (a) any costs, fees, fines, and charges imposed by a Payment Method Acquirer, Payment Method Provider, or Card Network related to User’s sale of Products via the Stripe Managed Payments Service, and (b) the liability allocated to SMP (acting on User’s behalf as the Seller) from a decision made by a Payment Method Acquirer, Payment Method Provider, or Card Network related to User’s sale of Products via the Stripe Managed Payments Service. Any decision made by a Payment Method Acquirer, Payment Method Provider, or Card Network is final and binding on User.

(b) Stored Payment Methods. User may have access to Payment Method information used by a Customer for Transactions using Stripe Managed Payments. User must not charge a Customer’s stored Payment Method if the original authorization was obtained by SMP, unless User obtains its own authorization from Customer in accordance with Law.

3.8 Transaction Integrity.

SMP may decline, cancel, or refund any Transaction made using Stripe Managed Payments Service at any time if SMP reasonably believes or suspects a Transaction (a) may be fraudulent or unlawful, (b) poses a security risk to Stripe or its Affiliates, (c) may be abnormal (e.g., excessive order size), (d) may be made in error, (e) may be made in bad faith, (g) is likely to result in a Dispute, or (h) is a violation of this Agreement, the Documentation, or other Stripe terms or policies.

4. Responsibility for Indirect Taxes on the Sales of Products.

4.1 Indirect Taxes Responsibility.

(a) SMP Tax Responsibility. By using the Stripe Managed Payments Service, User agrees SMP will calculate, collect, hold, and remit to the relevant Government Authorities Indirect Taxes on the sale of Seller’s Product in the countries identified in the Documentation. For Sellers located in certain jurisdictions, SMP will only calculate, collect, and remit Indirect Taxes on the cross-border sales of Seller’s Product (i.e. for sales to Customers outside of Seller’s country), and SMP will have no responsibility for Indirect Taxes on the domestic sales of Seller’s Product (i.e., for sales to Buyers in Seller’s own country). As applicable under local Law, User appoints SMP to act as an electronic interface operator, marketplace operator, commissionaire, or agent on User’s behalf to facilitate the supply of User’s Product to Customers for Indirect Tax purposes. User acknowledges that, in jurisdictions where SMP, as an electronic interface operator, marketplace operator, commissionaire, or agent, is treated by Law as making the supply in SMP’s own name or as an intermediary, SMP will be treated as the supplier or intermediary liable for Indirect Taxes, and will be responsible for charging, collecting, reporting and remitting those Indirect Taxes to the relevant Governmental Authority.

(b) Seller Tax Responsibility and Customer Invoices. For Sellers located in jurisdictions where SMP only supports Indirect Taxes for cross-border sales of Seller’s Product, Seller is solely responsible for calculating, collecting, holding, and remitting Indirect Taxes to the relevant Government Authority on domestic sales of Seller’s Product. For Sellers with Customers located in jurisdictions not identified in the Documentation, SMP is not responsible for the calculation, collection, or remittance of Indirect Taxes on the sale of Seller’s Product, and Seller is solely responsible for the calculation, collection, and remittance of all taxes as required by Law. For those sales of Products using Managed Payments for which SMP is not responsible for the Indirect Taxes, SMP will issue an invoice to Customer on behalf of Seller in Seller’s name. Seller, and not SMP or its Affiliates, is responsible for ensuring that invoices issued by SMP in Seller’s name meet Seller’s legal and tax requirements. Seller should configure the invoice settings in the Stripe Dashboard and ensure the invoices comply with Law, including determining if the invoices need to be supplemented using additional third party services to meet Seller’s legal and tax requirements.

(c) Responsibility for Indirect Tax Refunded to Customers. User must pay SMP for any Indirect Tax that is refunded to Customers in connection with a Transaction using Stripe Managed Payments Service, if SMP or its Affiliates is required to remit the Indirect Tax amount to Governmental Authorities for that Transaction and is unable to recover the relevant Indirect Tax amounts from the Governmental Authority. User authorizes Stripe and its Affiliates to debit User’s Stripe Account balance and recover from User any Indirect Taxes refunded by Stripe and its Affiliates to User’s Customers, where SMP is required to remit those Indirect Taxes to, and is unable to recover those Indirect Taxes from, the relevant Governmental Authority. If Stripe or its Affiliates can recover those Indirect Taxes from the relevant Governmental Authority at a later date, Stripe or its Affiliates will refund the recovered amount to User.

(d) Tax Inclusive. In any jurisdiction where, User is deemed to make a supply of the Product to SMP and SMP is deemed to make a supply of the Product to User’s Customer:

(i) the amounts payable by SMP to the User for the Product are inclusive of any Indirect Taxes that apply to the deemed supply of the Product to SMP; and

(ii) User will not charge or recover any additional amount from SMP for that Indirect Tax.

(e) Undisclosed Agent. User acknowledges that SMP will communicate with and invoice the customer in SMP’s own name, without disclosing that SMP is acting as User’s agent. If User does not want SMP to act as its agent, User must not use Stripe Managed Payments Service for those transactions.

(f) Free Trials Provided by User. If User offers Free Trials to User’s Customers and the Free Trial is deemed a taxable supply where SMP is treated as the party responsible for the Indirect Tax, User authorizes SMP to:

(i) determine, using SMP’s reasonable discretion and based on Law, whether Indirect Tax is due on User’s Free Trials;

(ii) charge, collect, withhold, and remit Indirect Tax in accordance with Law; and

(iii) charge or recover from the User the amount of any Indirect Tax attributable to User’s Free Trials.

User will promptly reimburse SMP, upon request, for any Indirect Tax, interest, penalties, or associated costs that SMP has paid, is assessed, or becomes liable for in relation to User’s Free Trials. SMP may, without limitation, set off such amounts against any sums otherwise payable or due to the User under this Agreement or debit User’s Stripe Account balance. Upon request, User must provide SMP with accurate and complete information regarding the nature, value, and terms of any Free Trials.

4.2 Product Eligibility and Tax Rates.

User must provide accurate information to SMP about its products to determine eligibility for the use of the Stripe Managed Payments Service. For each Product that User elects to sell via the Stripe Managed Payments Service the Stripe Managed Payments Service will determine the appropriate product taxability and tax rate. Stripe and its Affiliates reserve the right to review and change the tax rate assigned to a Product at its discretion for a Transaction using the Stripe Managed Payments Service that SMP supports for Indirect Tax purposes in accordance with the Documentation. User acknowledges and agrees that any change Stripe makes to a tax rate does not constitute tax advice. SMP is not responsible for the calculation, collection, or remittance of Indirect Taxes on the sale of any product that does not meet the eligibility requirements as described in the Documentation, and Seller is solely responsible for the calculation, collection, and remittance of all Taxes as required by Law.

4.3 Tax Authorities and Audits.

If User receives any correspondence from a Governmental Authority in connection with SMP’s Indirect Tax responsibilities as stated in Section 4.1 (Indirect Taxes Responsibility), User must (i) contact [Stripe Support](https://stripe.com/contact) by the earlier of (a) five calendar days after receipt of that correspondence or (b) five business days before the response deadline. After receipt of notification, Stripe will endeavor to provide User with information or supporting documentation to respond to the Government Authority and User must reasonably assist Stripe in its review of the matter. Stripe may require User to request an extension from a Governmental Authority if the response deadline is less than five business days from Stripe’s receipt of that correspondence. In any case, User will respond to the Government Authority only after engaging in discussion with Stripe. Any delay or failure to notify will not relieve Stripe of its obligations under this Section 4.3, except to the extent Stripe has been prejudiced by the delay or failure.

4.4 Responsibility for other Taxes.

User is responsible for payment of other Tax liabilities that arise from User’s sale of a Product via the Stripe Managed Payments Service. If Stripe becomes liable for any other Tax liabilities as a result of User’s use of Stripe Managed Payments Service or these Stripe Managed Payments Terms, excluding Tax liabilities owed by Stripe or SMP as a result of charging Fees for the Stripe Managed Payments Service, User authorizes Stripe to recoup the cost of other Tax liabilities by deducting funds from amounts Stripe owes to User.

For any Tax Information Reports, User acknowledges and agrees that User is in the best position to determine the nature of the payments made in connection with User’s use of the Stripe Managed Payments Service. With respect to US tax law, in connection with User’s use of the Stripe Managed Payments Service, Stripe and its Affiliates are not the withholding agent for Form 1042-S purposes.

4.5. Responsibility for Invoicing.

This Section 4.5 applies for Tax purposes only. User agrees to a self-billing arrangement for User’s deemed provision of the Product to SMP in the jurisdictions where such an arrangement is permitted by Law as outlined in the Documentation. Where permitted, User agrees to accept all self-billed invoices issued by SMP on User’s behalf and User must not issue its own invoices to SMP or its Affiliates for the deemed sales of Product to SMP. User remains responsible for determining whether self-billing is permitted in User’s jurisdiction. If self-billing is not permitted in User’s jurisdiction, User must inform SMP immediately by contacting [Stripe support](https://stripe.com/contact) and may, if required by Law, issue compliant Tax invoices for all deemed sales of Product to SMP or its Affiliates.

User must review the self-billed invoices in User’s Stripe Dashboard and must notify SMP of any errors by contacting [Stripe support](https://stripe.com/contact).

User must provide SMP its Indirect Tax registration number (e.g., VAT/GST number). User must immediately inform SMP in writing if (a) User’s Indirect Tax registration number changes, (b) User ceases to be registered for Indirect Tax purposes in any jurisdiction, or (c) User’s Indirect Tax status is otherwise altered. Failure to do so may result in the invalidation of the self-billed invoices.

User is responsible for providing all necessary and accurate information for SMP to generate the self-billed invoices. User may opt out of this self-billing arrangement by notifying Stripe in writing. If User opts out, then User is responsible for providing SMP invoices for all deemed sales of Product made by User to SMP.

5. Taxes on Fees.

(a) Taxes. This Section 5 (Taxes on Fees) replaces section 7.3 (Taxes) of the General Terms. The Fees exclude all Taxes, except as the Stripe Pricing Page or other documents expressly state to the contrary. If SMP or its Affiliates are required by Law to collect or withhold any Taxes, SMP or its Affiliates will collect or withhold such Taxes as additional amounts to the Fees and either deduct those Taxes from amounts otherwise owed to User or charge User for the additional Taxes if there are insufficient amounts owed to User from which to deduct the Taxes, and pay those Taxes to the appropriate taxing authority. If User is exempt from paying, or is otherwise eligible to pay a reduced rate on, those Taxes, User will provide to SMP a copy of the original certificate that satisfies applicable legal requirements attesting to User’s tax-exempt status or reduced rate eligibility, in which case SMP or its Affiliates will not deduct the Taxes that certificate covers. Failure to provide SMP a valid VAT or GST identification number may result in the assessment and applicability of Taxes, which will be deducted from User’s Stripe Account balance or Stripe may invoice User for those amounts.

(b) User Information. User must provide accurate information regarding User’s tax affairs as SMP or its Affiliates reasonably request, and must promptly notify SMP if any information that Stripe prepopulates is inaccurate or incomplete. SMP or its Affiliates may send documents to User and any relevant Government Authority for transactions processed using the Services. Specifically, Law may require SMP or its Affiliates to file periodic informational returns with a Government Authority related to User’s use of the Services. SMP or its Affiliates may send tax-related information to User electronically. User’s failure to provide accurate, complete, or up‑to‑date information or documentation when required by these Stripe Managed Payments Terms or the Documentation is a material breach of these Stripe Managed Payments Terms.

6. Data Privacy.

6.1 Generally.

For purposes of the Privacy and Data Use section of the General Terms, references to Stripe also include SMP. By using the Stripe Managed Payments Service, User authorizes Stripe and its Affiliates to process Personal Data in accordance with applicable DP Law and the Data Processing Agreement. User also authorizes Stripe and its Affiliates to use Personal Data, as determined by Stripe, in connection with providing Stripe Managed Payments Service and for activities ancillary to the Stripe Managed Payments Service, including customer support, order management, facilitating order fulfillment, managing tax remittance, and ensuring compliance with applicable Law, in accordance with applicable DP Law and the Data Processing Agreement.

6.2 Customer Data Deletion.

In compliance with applicable DP Law, SMP will honor valid deletion requests from Customers who made a purchase through Stripe Managed Payments Service. Upon receiving a valid deletion request, SMP will manage the deletion of the Customer’s Personal Data within Stripe systems for SMP, including any Customer Personal Data User shared with Stripe and stored on Stripe systems. SMP will notify User of the deletion request and actions taken. SMP will endeavor to provide User the opportunity to review the request with SMP if SMP believes there are specific concerns or legal obligations. SMP is not responsible for managing any deletion requests that User receives directly from Customers or for the deletion of Personal Data that User collects from Customers. User is responsible for managing those deletion requests. User agrees to cooperate and ensure that any additional data User controls is handled in compliance with DP Law.

7. User Obligations.

(a) Ensure the goods or services for which User uses the Stripe Managed Payments Service are Products, and are not restricted for sale under any applicable Law (e.g., export control laws), do not violate or infringe any third-party rights (e.g., IP Rights), and do not cause SMP to violate any applicable Law;

8. Disclaimers.

User acknowledges that Stripe and its Affiliates, including SMP, do not provide legal, tax, or accounting advice as part of the Stripe Managed Payments Service. User remains fully responsible for, and the Stripe Parties are not liable for, any losses, damages, costs, fines, fees, or penalties related to:

(a) User’s Products, defects with User’s Products, User’s sale of Products to Customers, or a Customer’s use, misuse, or inability to use User’s Products; and

(b) any additional legal, regulatory, or Tax liabilities arising from User’s use of the Stripe Managed Payments Service.

9. Indemnification.

User will defend the Stripe Parties against, and indemnify the Stripe Parties for Stripe Losses arising out of, any Claims relating to (a) User’s Products (including any Claims that User’s Products infringe on or misappropriate the rights, including IP Rights, of the third party making the Claim), (b) User’s sale of Products to Customers, or (c) Customers’ use, misuse, or inability to use User’s Products. For clarity, Customers are third parties for purposes of Claims under this section or under the General Terms.

SMP may provide access to the Stripe Payment Services in order to facilitate User’s sale of Products to Customers. User appoints SMP as User’s agent for the limited purpose of directing, receiving, holding and settling funds under this Agreement. All settlement funds that Stripe, SMP, or Acquiring Affiliates, as applicable, receive for Transactions are combined with settlement funds for other users and held in one or more Pooled Accounts at one or more Financial Providers. Once an Acquiring Affiliate receives funds for a Transaction, the relevant Customer has no further obligation to make payments to User with respect to that Transaction, regardless of whether and when Stripe or its Affiliate (as applicable) settles those funds to User. If Stripe, SMP or SPC (as applicable) does not settle funds due to User under this Agreement, User will have recourse only against Stripe, SMP or SPC (as applicable) and not the relevant Customer. Stripe or SMP (as applicable) will promptly update User’s Stripe Account balance to reflect processed Transactions. If, in the capacity as User’s agent, SMP provides a receipt for a Transaction to the applicable Customer, that receipt is binding on User. Stripe and its Affiliates (as applicable) may invest funds held in a Pooled Account as described in the General Terms. User has no rights to any Pooled Account, or earnings generated by funds held in any Pooled Account, and is not entitled to draw funds from any Pooled Account.

Stripe does not convert, hold custody of, or transfer any Stablecoin as a component of the Stripe Stablecoin Treasury Services. Stripe may add or restrict access in User's Stripe Account to particular denominations of Stablecoin or fiat currency, or types of Stablecoin Partner Transactions, at any time. Because the Stripe Stablecoin Treasury Services necessarily involve and require the performance of Stablecoin Partner Services, User's use of the Stripe Stablecoin Treasury Services constitutes User's simultaneous access to and use of the Stablecoin Partner Services.

The value of Stablecoin held in custody with the Stablecoin Partner during a Depeg Event is governed solely by the Stablecoin Partner Terms. Stripe is not liable to User for any losses, damages, or costs arising from a Depeg Event, or any actions taken by Stripe or the Stablecoin Partner in connection with a Depeg Event, including any difference between the exchange rate applicable at the time User accepts payment in Stablecoin and the rate at which the Stablecoin Partner executes the exchange, if it chooses to do so.

Stripe Treasury (formerly Financial Accounts)

Last updated: September 28, 2026

1. Stripe Treasury Services.

1.1 Operation of These Terms.

These terms (“Stripe Treasury Terms”) supplement the General Terms and, together with the Stripe Financial Services Terms which are incorporated into these Stripe Treasury Terms by this reference, govern the use of the Stripe Treasury Services. The Regional Terms in Section 11 (Regional Terms) of these Stripe Treasury Terms apply based on User’s Stripe Account Country. Capitalized terms that are not defined in these terms have the same meanings given to them in the General Terms or the Stripe Financial Services Terms.

1.2 Description of Stripe Treasury Services.

The Stripe Treasury Services enable User to make or accept Financial Account Transactions and store funds. User must reside in the User Territory in order to use the Stripe Treasury Services. For the avoidance of doubt, the Stripe Treasury Services are limited to fiat currency services. The Stripe Treasury Services do not include the custody, exchange, transmission, or payout of Stablecoin or any other digital asset. All Stablecoin-related services are governed by the Stablecoin Treasury Terms, the Stripe Global Payouts Stablecoin Terms, and the Stablecoin Partner Terms, as applicable.

2. Services and Support.

2.1 Authority to Conduct Checks.

User authorizes RSP and the Treasury Bank to obtain information about User from their service providers and other third parties, including credit reporting agencies and information bureaus. If required, User must authorize and direct these third parties to compile and provide this information to RSP or the Treasury Bank, as applicable. User agrees that this information may include User’s name, addresses, credit history, and other data (including Personal Data) about User, User’s representatives, and User’s owners.

2.2 Information Provided to Stripe.

(a) Financial Account Transactions. User must, if requested by Stripe, provide information about a Financial Account Transaction, including the source of funds. Stripe may prohibit, disable, or limit User’s use of the Stripe Treasury Services until Stripe is satisfied that it has received sufficient information relating to each Financial Account Transaction or other use of the Stripe Treasury Services.

(b) Payment Instructions. User is responsible for providing accurate and complete payment instructions, and for verifying the accuracy and completeness of any payment instructions and details that User provides in respect of a Financial Account Transaction.

(c) Errors. If User believes that there is an error in a Financial Account Transaction, or an unauthorized Financial Account Transaction has occurred, User must promptly notify Stripe and provide all information requested by Stripe.

2.3 Acknowledgments.

User acknowledges that:

(a) RSP and its Affiliates are not banks;

(b) the Financial Account is not a demand deposit (checking) account, savings account, or other asset or bank account with RSP, an Affiliate of RSP, a Treasury Bank, or an Affiliate of a Treasury Bank;

(c) RSP will act as User’s agent with respect to the Financial Account;

(d) RSP will select the Treasury Bank through which User’s Financial Account is created;

(e) RSP makes no representation about the sufficiency of the capitalization of the Treasury Bank where User’s funds are held; and

(f) RSP may appoint Stripe as its agent or service provider to exercise its rights and perform its obligations under these Stripe Treasury Terms, other than with respect to regulated services.

2.4 Use of VBANs.

Unless otherwise agreed in writing by Stripe, any VBAN issued for the Stripe Treasury Services must only be used in connection with the Stripe Treasury Services. User must maintain the security of the VBAN and prevent its misuse. Stripe, its Affiliates, and Stripe’s Financial Providers will not be liable for any losses, damages, or costs arising out of or related to User’s use or disclosure of the VBAN. User acknowledges that a VBAN is not an account at a Treasury Bank.

3. Financial Account Transactions.

3.1 Available Balance.

Solely for the purpose of determining whether funds are available for a Financial Account Transaction, the Available Balance is (a) increased by the amount of any pending provisionally credited Financial Account Transactions (excluding pending returns) in User’s Financial Account; and (b) decreased by the amount of Transaction Holds on funds in User’s Financial Account. User can view User’s Available Balance on the Stripe Dashboard.

3.2 Adding Funds to User’s Financial Account.

(a) How to Add Funds. User may add funds into a Financial Account via the funding mechanisms Stripe makes available. Stripe is not responsible for any funds transferred, and will not record them as available in a Financial Account, until actually received by Stripe. Financial Account Transactions and Available Balance are available to view in User’s Stripe Dashboard.

(b) Authorization. User authorizes RSP to act as User’s agent to make any Financial Account Transaction requested by User. Stripe will deduct the amount of each Outbound Transaction that User initiates from the Available Balance even if the transaction has not yet been completed. If an initiated Financial Account Transaction cannot be completed, Stripe may retry the Financial Account Transaction, or complete the Financial Account Transaction in multiple transactions. If that Financial Account Transaction still cannot be completed, Stripe will notify User. RSP may endorse any credit Financial Account Transaction that User presents to be added to User’s Financial Account. If there is a qualified endorsement on a credit Financial Account Transaction, RSP may place User’s unqualified endorsement on the credit Financial Account Transaction.

3.3 Timing of Financial Account Transactions.

(a) Timing. RSP will make a Financial Account Transaction in accordance with the time periods stated in the Documentation unless (i) a Financial Account Transaction Delay occurs, (ii) Stripe exercises a right under the Agreement, or (iii) as permitted by Law to withhold or delay the Financial Account Transaction.

(b) Transaction Hold. Stripe may place a Transaction Hold on Financial Account Transactions (i) if Stripe reasonably doubts that it can collect the amounts owed to Stripe; (ii) if Stripe is concerned about potential fraud or other misconduct, including for new Financial Accounts or large Financial Account Transactions; (iii) if Stripe is concerned about compliance with Financial Account Regulatory Requirements; or (iv) for any other reason permitted by the Agreement or Financial Account Regulatory Requirements. Stripe may place a Transaction Hold for more than User’s Available Balance.

3.4 Outbound Transaction Initiation.

An Outbound Transaction extinguishes any payout liability that Stripe may have in respect of the payout amount. User acknowledges that once an Outbound Transaction has commenced, it cannot be cancelled or reversed, and Stripe may not be able to (and is under no obligation to attempt to) retrieve funds sent via an Outbound Transaction. If Stripe is able to retrieve the funds, then Stripe may charge User the costs incurred for that retrieval. User may not initiate an Outbound Transaction that is greater than the Available Balance of User’s Financial Account.

3.5 RSP’s Right to Refuse.

RSP may refuse any Financial Account Transaction (a) by any method that RSP does not specifically permit for User’s Financial Account; or (b) that does not include all information RSP or the Treasury Bank require.

3.6 Cut-Off Times.

RSP establishes Cut-Off Times for various Financial Account Transactions and RSP will provide those Cut-Off Times to User through the Stripe Dashboard or otherwise in writing. RSP may change the Cut-Off Time from time to time. Any change to the Cut-Off Time will be effective immediately and without notice to User. User may contact RSP at any time to verify the Cut-Off Time.

3.7 No Overdraft Features.

There is no overdraft feature associated with User’s Financial Account. If User’s Financial Account has a negative balance, User must promptly transfer sufficient funds in the applicable Supported Currency into the Financial Account to render the balance positive.

3.8 User’s Right to Stop Payment.

If User wishes to stop any scheduled or preauthorized Financial Account Transaction from User’s Financial Account, then User must give Stripe instructions to do so within the timeframe specified in the Documentation. If User scheduled or preauthorized the Financial Account Transaction via the Stripe Dashboard, then User may change or cancel the Financial Account Transaction via the Stripe Dashboard as described in the Documentation.

3.9 Liability Related to Financial Account Transactions.

To the extent permitted by Law, User is responsible for all Financial Account Transactions on User’s Financial Account, whether or not they are authorized. To the maximum extent permitted by Law, the Stripe Parties will not be liable to User, User’s Affiliates, or any third party for any losses, damages, or costs arising out of or relating to:

(a) a failed Financial Account Transaction on User’s Financial Account, including if RSP decides to refuse to pay or decline any Financial Account Transaction or if a Financial Account Transaction fails due to circumstances outside of RSP’s control;

(b) RSP completing a Financial Account Transaction or otherwise acting in reliance upon any incorrect or incomplete information provided or made available to RSP; or

(c) any correspondent bank’s negligence or failure, or funds lost in transit.

4. Restricting or Closing User’s Financial Account.

4.1 Restricting User’s Financial Account.

RSP may decline, delay, freeze, or reverse a Financial Account Transaction or part of a Financial Account Transaction, restrict access to User’s Financial Account or information on User’s Financial Account, or remove funds from User’s Financial Account to hold them pending investigation to protect User, RSP, or RSP’s Affiliates, or to comply with Financial Account Regulatory Requirements or other legal obligations.

4.2 Replacement Financial Account.

RSP may transfer User’s documentation and information (including Personal Data) to a replacement Financial Account and account number, including if User’s Financial Account is reported as compromised, or if RSP reasonably believes it is necessary to protect User’s Financial Account’s security. RSP may move RSP’s Custodial Accounts (and therefore User’s Financial Account) to a different financial institution.

4.3 Closing User’s Financial Account.

(a) By RSP. RSP may close User’s Financial Account at any time for any reason upon notice to User.

(b) By User. User may close User’s Financial Account at any time by giving notice to Stripe. If User’s account balance is greater than $0, after RSP deducts fees, expenses, claims, and other deductions that RSP has the right to make, RSP may require User to withdraw the remaining balance before RSP closes User’s Financial Account.

(c) RSP Can Keep Financial Account Open. RSP is not required to close User’s Financial Account at User’s request if (i) User has pending Financial Account Transactions; (ii) there is an overdraft on User’s Financial Account; or (iii) User’s Financial Account is subject to Legal Process. In those cases, RSP may restrict User’s Financial Account against all future withdrawals, other than those made under Legal Process, until pending Financial Account Transactions are paid or returned, the account balance is no longer negative, and any legal restriction has been released.

(d) Consequences of Closing User’s Financial Account. After User’s Financial Account is closed, RSP has no obligation to accept funds into User’s Financial Account, process Financial Account Transactions through the Financial Account on User’s behalf, or satisfy any outstanding demands for payment. But, RSP may reopen User’s Financial Account if RSP receives funds payable to User’s Financial Account.

5. Taxes and Currency Conversion.

5.1 Taxes.

User is responsible for the payment or withholding of any applicable Taxes and the completion of any Tax reporting for User and on behalf of User’s Recipient, if required, in connection with the Stripe Treasury Services.

5.2 Currency Conversion.

If a requested Financial Account Transaction requires a currency conversion, then the exchange rate used for that conversion will be determined as stated in the Documentation. Where currency conversion is part of a Financial Account Transaction, any quoted payout amounts and associated fees are estimates, and may fluctuate based on changes in the exchange rate that applies when the currency conversion takes place.

6. Permitted Privacy and Data Use.

User authorizes Stripe and its Affiliates to share, unless prohibited by Financial Account Regulatory Requirements, information, including Personal Data, about User, User’s Financial Account, Recipients, and Financial Account Transactions, with third parties (including our Financial Providers): (a) to enable User to open the Financial Account and complete Financial Account Transactions; (b) for the provisioning of VBANs; (c) in connection with investigating any claim User makes; (d) to comply with Financial Account Regulatory Requirements; (e) to comply with an arbitration order; or (f) as otherwise disclosed or permitted by these Stripe Treasury Terms, Stripe’s Privacy Policy, or the Agreement.

7. User Restrictions and Obligations.

User must:

(a) not use the Financial Account to send any payment to any bank or financial institution account outside of the Transaction Territory or to receive any payment from any account located outside the Transaction Territory;

(b) ensure that User’s use of the Stripe Treasury Services and performance of User’s obligations under these Stripe Treasury Terms comply with all Financial Account Regulatory Requirements;

(c) not use the Financial Account to provide funds transfer services to third parties; and

(d) ensure that no funds transferred into User’s Financial Account are proceeds from any criminal activity.

8. Limitation of Liability.

To the extent that Financial Account Regulatory Requirements invalidate or render unenforceable any limitations or exclusions of liability of RSP and its Affiliates under this Agreement with respect to failing to stop payment on a Financial Account Transaction, or paying a Financial Account Transaction bearing an unauthorized or forged signature or endorsement, then the Stripe Parties’ aggregate liability with respect to those circumstances will be limited to the face value of the Financial Account Transaction.

9. Disclaimers.

9.1 Availability.

Stripe does not offer service levels for the Stripe Treasury Services.

Credit given to the recipient by the recipient’s financial institution for any such credit Entry will be provisional until the recipient’s financial institution has received final settlement through a Federal Reserve Bank or otherwise has received payment as provided for in Section 4A-403(a) of Article 4A of the Uniform Commercial Code as enacted in the State of New York. If the recipient’s financial institution does not receive such payment for the credit Entry, the recipient’s financial institution is entitled to a refund from the recipient in the amount of the credit to the recipient’s account, and User will not be considered to have paid the amount of the credit Entry to the recipient. User must not originate Entries as a Nested Third Party Sender (as defined in the Nacha Operating Rules) through User’s Financial Account.

11.4 Compliance with ERISA.

User represents on the date User first uses the Stripe Treasury Services, and warrants at all times during User’s use of the Stripe Treasury Services, that User does not lend funds to User’s Financial Account or otherwise deliver property to Stripe on behalf of:

11.5 Account Numbers.

RSP and any other person involved in the Financial Account Transaction may rely on the routing number and account number that User provides when giving a transfer instruction. If the transfer instruction identifies a different person from the account owner identified by the number, RSP and any other person that handles the instruction may still rely exclusively on the number.

11.6. Definitions.

“Insurance Ineligible Custodial Account” means the Custodial Accounts specified in the Documentation as not eligible for pass-through FDIC insurance.

(a) Liability for Unauthorized Transactions. Stripe will reimburse User for any unauthorized Financial Account Transaction where Stripe determines that User has not authorized the underlying Financial Account Transaction, provided that User will be liable for the first £35 of any unauthorized Financial Account Transaction where Stripe reasonably believes User should have been aware of the unauthorized use.

However, Stripe will not be liable for any unauthorized transaction where (a) User used a Financial Account for an Unauthorized Purpose or with intent or gross negligence, failed to use the Financial Account in accordance with these Stripe Treasury Terms, including to take all reasonable steps to keep account credentials and the devices on which User accesses User’s Financial Account secure and confidential at all times; or (b) User failed to immediately notify Stripe of the unauthorized use.

Stripe Treasury for Platforms—Connected Accounts

Last modified: September 28, 2026

1. Stripe Treasury for Platforms Services.

1.1 Operation of These Terms.

These terms (“Stripe Treasury for Platforms Accountholder Terms”) supplement the General Terms, and together with the Stripe Financial Services Terms and the Stripe Treasury Terms, each of which are incorporated into these terms by this reference, govern the use of the Stripe Treasury for Platforms Services as a Stripe Treasury for Platforms Accountholder. Capitalized terms that are not defined in these terms have the same meanings given to them in the General Terms, the Stripe Financial Services Terms, or the Stripe Treasury Terms. If User is a Stripe Connect Platform using the Stripe Treasury for Platforms Services for User’s own business purposes, these Stripe Treasury for Platforms Accountholder Terms apply to User as a Stripe Treasury for Platforms Accountholder, and references to “Stripe Connect Platform” in these terms are also references to User.

1.2 Order of Precedence.

If any term in these Stripe Treasury for Platforms Accountholder Terms conflicts with a term or terms incorporated by reference into these terms, then unless terms of lower precedence expressly state to the contrary, the order of precedence is: (a) these Stripe Treasury for Platforms Accountholder Terms; (b) the Stripe Treasury Terms; (c) the Stripe Financial Services Terms; and (d) the General Terms.

2. Use of the Stripe Treasury for Platforms Services.

2.1 Scope.

Stripe Treasury for Platforms Services are money transmission services, and RSP is a licensed money transmitter and registered money services business, as defined under the Financial Accounts Regulatory Requirements. User must reside in the Stripe Treasury for Platforms Territory to use the Stripe Treasury for Platforms Services. User’s Stripe Connect Platform will provide User access to the Stripe Treasury for Platforms Services (if applicable). Subject to the Financial Accounts Regulatory Requirements and these Stripe Treasury for Platforms Accountholder Terms, User and User’s Treasury for Platforms Authorized Users will be able to (a) add funds to User’s Financial Account via ACH, wire transfer, and other supported funding methods; and (b) transfer funds from User’s Financial Account to any account able to receive ACH or wire transfers at any financial institution.

2.2 Acknowledgment.

User acknowledges that User’s use of the Stripe Treasury for Platforms Services may be subject to additional terms specific to User’s Stripe Connect Platform, which User’s Stripe Connect Platform will provide at the time User requests access to the Stripe Treasury for Platforms Services.

3. Treasury for Platforms Authorized Users.

3.1 Instructions from Stripe Connect Platform.

User authorizes RSP to accept instructions from User’s Stripe Connect Platform with respect to Financial Account Transactions, manage User’s Financial Account and take other action on User’s Financial Account. User must provide User’s Stripe Connect Platform with all information regarding User’s Treasury for Platforms Authorized Users, any agent appointed under an applicable power of attorney, and the electronic credentials (such as logins) for User’s Financial Account, and User must immediately provide User’s Stripe Connect Platform with updated information if that information changes. User must notify User’s Stripe Connect Platform at least 5 business days before making any change to (a) User’s form of ownership (such as changing from a sole proprietor to a limited liability company or corporation); or (b) User’s Treasury for Platforms Authorized Users.

3.2 Agents.

If User chooses to appoint an agent under a power of attorney to manage the Financial Account, the power of attorney must be in a form acceptable to User’s Stripe Connect Platform and RSP. RSP and User’s Stripe Connect Platform may rely on a copy of the power of attorney and are not required to confirm its validity.

3.3 Instructions.

If RSP chooses to comply with an instruction that User’s Stripe Connect Platform transmits, RSP may impose any condition, including requiring that User provide RSP with a surety bond or put in place an indemnity agreement in a form that is satisfactory to RSP. RSP may refuse to comply with an instruction from User’s Stripe Connect Platform if RSP believes that:

(a) the instruction is fraudulent or User did not authorize it;

(b) there are multiple or conflicting instructions;

(c) User’s Treasury for Platforms Authorized User or agent is exceeding their authority in giving the instruction; or

(d) complying with the instruction may expose RSP or its Affiliates to liability.

4. Operating User’s Financial Account.

4.1 Accessing User’s Financial Account.

User may access User’s Financial Account and the Stripe Treasury for Platforms Services through the Stripe Treasury for Platforms Dashboard, and by any other means User’s Stripe Connect Platform makes available to User. User may use the Stripe Treasury for Platforms Dashboard to view User’s Stripe Treasury for Platforms Account Information and conduct Financial Account Transactions, including adding funds to User’s Financial Account, transferring funds, and making payments from User’s Financial Account to third parties. If User uses other Services made available to User in connection with User’s Financial Account or the Stripe Treasury for Platforms Dashboard, as applicable, additional terms may apply to those Services. User must use the Stripe Treasury for Platforms Dashboard only in compliance with the documentation that User’s Stripe Connect Platform makes available to User.

4.2 Account Security.

User must keep User’s account credentials and the devices on which User accesses User’s Financial Account secure and confidential at all times. User must notify RSP immediately at treasury-support@stripe.com if there has been any actual or suspected unauthorized access to User’s credentials. In addition to being responsible for Financial Account Transactions conducted on User’s Financial Account, User is responsible for all losses, damages and costs that RSP and its Affiliates suffer as a result of User’s delay in notifying RSP of the unauthorized access.

4.3 User Obligations.

User must:

(a) only use the Stripe Treasury for Platforms Services with respect to a commercial business enterprise organized in the Stripe Treasury for Platforms Territory;

(b) not use the Financial Account to send or receive a wire transfer to or from a recipient located outside the Transaction Territory;

(c) comply with all Financial Account Regulatory Requirements in connection with User’s use of the Stripe Treasury for Platforms Services;

(d) promptly notify User’s Stripe Connect Platform of each change to any information User provides or makes available to RSP and User's Stripe Connect Platform in connection with its Financial Account (including all information pertaining to User’s country of citizenship, residence, principal place of business, and legal and tax status); and

(e) not open a Financial Account for a sole proprietorship unless User is the sole owner of that business, and User must remain the sole owner at all times during the Term.

4.4 Interest.

(a) No Interest Unless Advised. Unless User’s Stripe Connect Platform advises User otherwise, User will not earn interest on funds in User’s Financial Account. Stripe may be compensated for placing User's funds at a Treasury Bank.

(b) Allocation of Interest. If RSP establishes an interest-bearing Custodial Account and User’s Stripe Connect Platform informs User that User’s Financial Account will bear interest, then RSP will allocate accrued interest under that Custodial Account in the proportion that User’s average daily balance during the preceding month bears to the average daily balance of all funds that are held in that Custodial Account over the same time period and calculated on the same basis. RSP will allocate interest to User’s Financial Account only in whole cents. Any fractional amount of the interest amount that would otherwise be credited to User’s Financial Account that is less than half of one cent will be rounded down and that fractional amount will be carried over to the following month. Any fractional amount of the funds equal to half of one cent or more will be rounded up and that fractional amount will be carried forward as negative accrual to the following month.

4.5 Legal Process.

User authorizes RSP to comply with each Legal Process relating to User or User’s Financial Account that RSP or User’s Stripe Connect Platform receives, without needing to determine whether that Legal Process was validly issued or is enforceable. If a Transaction Hold is in effect, RSP will continue to charge all applicable fees, even though User’s Financial Account cannot be closed. RSP may charge User a fee for, and recover RSP’s costs incurred in, complying with each Legal Process. If the Financial Account Regulatory Requirements permit, RSP will deduct those fees and costs from User’s Available Balance.

5. Transactions on User’s Financial Account.

5.1 Adding Funds to User’s Financial Account.

RSP is not obligated to notify User promptly after funds are added into User’s Financial Account. User can confirm via the Stripe Treasury for Platforms Dashboard whether RSP has received a Financial Account Transaction that adds funds to User’s Financial Account.

5.2 Transfers from User’s Financial Account.

By initiating a transfer from User’s Financial Account via the Stripe Treasury for Platforms Dashboard, User authorizes User’s Stripe Connect Platform to instruct RSP to make the Financial Account Transaction User specifies. RSP may deduct the amount of each transfer that User’s Stripe Connect Platform initiates or approves from User’s Available Balance, even if the transfer has not yet been completed.

5.3 Funds Availability.

RSP establishes Cut-Off Times for various Financial Account Transactions and RSP will provide those Cut-Off Times to User through the Stripe Treasury for Platforms Dashboard or otherwise in writing. RSP may change the Cut-Off Time from time to time. Any change to the Cut-Off Time will be effective immediately and without notice to User. User may contact RSP at any time to verify the Cut-Off Time.

5.4 Processing Order.

RSP will process User’s Financial Account Transactions on each business day in the following order:

(a) first, transfers to User’s Financial Account that RSP receives from User’s Stripe Connect Platform before the Cut-Off Time will be processed in the order in which RSP receives them, but any amounts credited to User’s Financial Account are provisionally credited until those funds clear; and

(b) second, transfers from User’s Financial Account (e.g., other Financial Account Transactions resulting in deducting funds from User’s Financial Account) that RSP receives by the Cut-Off Time will be processed in the order in which RSP receives them.

Reversals of provisional credits may occur at any time during this process. RSP may use a different processing order if the Financial Account Regulatory Requirements require.

5.5 No Overdraft Feature.

There is no overdraft feature associated with User’s Financial Account. If User’s Available Balance is not sufficient to pay for each Financial Account Transaction in the order in which it is processed, RSP may return or reject the Financial Account Transaction, or RSP may permit the Financial Account Transaction to proceed, in which case User’s Financial Account may become overdrawn. RSP does not impose a fee when it returns or rejects a Financial Account Transaction for which there are insufficient funds. However, third parties may impose a fee or other charge (such as penalty interest) for dishonored or late payments, and User is solely responsible for those fees and charges.

5.6 User’s Right to Stop Payment.

If User wishes to stop any scheduled or preauthorized transfer from User’s Financial Account, then User must give User’s Stripe Connect Platform instructions to do so in time for the Stripe Connect Platform to instruct RSP at least 3 business days before the day on which the Financial Account Transaction is scheduled to be made. If User scheduled or preauthorized the transfer via the Stripe Treasury for Platforms Dashboard, then User may change or cancel the transfer via the Stripe Treasury for Platforms Dashboard at least 3 business days before the day on which the Financial Account Transaction is scheduled to be made.

5.7 RSP's Right to Refuse.

To the extent the Financial Account Regulatory Requirements do not prohibit the actions listed in this Section, RSP may refuse to complete any Financial Account Transaction, including:

(a) if User’s Financial Account has insufficient funds to cover a Financial Account Transaction;

(b) if RSP is unable to verify ownership of or other information about User’s Financial Account, or the individual or entity to or from whom the funds will be transferred;

(c) to protect the security of User’s Financial Account and RSP’s systems; or

(d) if the Financial Account Transaction would violate these Stripe Treasury for Platforms Accountholder Terms or the Financial Account Regulatory Requirements.

5.8 Financial Account Transaction Limitations.

There are limits on the number and value of Financial Account Transactions that User may make from User’s Financial Account, which are described on the Stripe Treasury for Platforms Dashboard or otherwise disclosed by RSP or User’s Stripe Connect Platform. RSP may allow Financial Account Transactions that exceed applicable limits, or temporarily reduce User’s limits from time to time without notice (unless the Financial Account Regulatory Requirements require otherwise). RSP or User’s Stripe Connect Platform may change the limits at any time.

5.9 Reviewing User’s Financial Account Transactions.

(a) Obligation to Review. User must review User’s Financial Account history and each Financial Account Transaction as soon as possible. If User believes that there is an error or discrepancy in a Financial Account Transaction, User must notify User’s Stripe Connect Platform promptly, and no later than 30 days after User’s Stripe Connect Platform makes the Financial Account history available to User (or, if applicable, a longer period stated in the Financial Account Regulatory Requirements). If User believes an unauthorized Financial Account Transaction has been made on User’s Financial Account, then User must immediately notify User’s Stripe Connect Platform, and in any case within 1 day after User becomes aware. If RSP or User’s Stripe Connect Platform requests, User must submit a written statement with details about the unauthorized Financial Account Transaction. If User fails to notify User’s Stripe Connect Platform as required under this Section, or User’s Stripe Connect Platform does not notify RSP in a timely manner, then losses, damages, or costs User suffers as a result of the unauthorized Financial Account Transaction may not be recoverable, or recovery may be more time consuming or difficult.

(b) Assistance in Investigations. User must assist RSP and User’s Stripe Connect Platform in the investigation and related prosecution of claims for unauthorized Financial Account Transactions by completing the appropriate statements and reports that RSP or User’s Stripe Connect Platform reasonably requests.

5.10 Withholding Financial Account Transactions.

If after final settlement of any Financial Account Transaction, User or any third party asserts a claim to User’s Stripe Connect Platform alleging that the Financial Account Transaction was altered, contained a forged or unauthorized signature or endorsement, or was not properly payable for any reason, then RSP may withhold the amount of the Financial Account Transaction from User’s Financial Account until the claim is finally investigated and resolved.

5.11 Liability Related to Financial Account Transactions.

User is responsible for all Financial Account Transactions on User’s Financial Account, whether or not they are authorized. To the maximum extent permitted by Law, the Stripe Parties will not be liable to User, User’s Affiliates, or any third party for any losses, damages, or costs arising out of or relating to:

(a) a failed Financial Account Transaction on User’s Financial Account, including if RSP decides to refuse to pay or decline any Financial Account Transaction or if a Financial Account Transaction fails due to circumstances outside of RSP’s control;

(b) RSP or User’s Stripe Connect Platform completing a Financial Account Transaction or otherwise acting in reliance upon any incorrect or incomplete information provided or made available to RSP or User’s Stripe Connect Platform;

(c) RSP’s refusal to comply with User’s Stripe Connect Platform’s instructions under Section 3.3 of these Stripe Treasury for Platforms Accountholder Terms; or

(d) any correspondent bank’s negligence or failure, or funds lost in transit.

6. Fees and Security.

6.1 Fee Disclosure.

User’s Stripe Connect Platform is responsible for disclosing to User all applicable fees (if any) that apply to User’s use of the Stripe Treasury for Platforms Services. User’s Stripe Connect Platform will disclose those fees at the time User requests access to the Stripe Treasury for Platforms Services and will disclose any changes before they take effect.

6.2 User’s Responsibility for Disputes.

To the maximum extent permitted by Law, User is liable to RSP for all losses, damages, and costs that RSP incurs as a result of any dispute involving User’s Financial Account, including as a result of relying on User’s Stripe Connect Platform’s representations or instructions. User authorizes RSP to (i) deduct these losses, damages, and costs from funds in User’s Financial Account; or (ii) set them off in accordance with Section 6.3 of these Stripe Treasury for Platforms Accountholder Terms with or without prior notice to User.

6.3 Setoff.

RSP may deduct, recoup or setoff all fees User owes RSP (if any) from funds in User’s Financial Account, even if this would cause an overdraft. Alternatively, RSP may invoice User for some or all of those fees on a monthly basis in arrears, and User must pay the fees within 30 days after the date of the invoice.

7. Closing User’s Financial Account.

7.1 Closing User’s Financial Account.

After User’s Financial Account is closed, RSP will enable User’s Stripe Connect Platform to provide User access to User’s Financial Account history for 60 days.

7.2 Adverse Claims.

If there are conflicting instructions with respect to User’s Financial Account or if there is any dispute regarding User’s Financial Account, then without limiting RSP’s rights under these Stripe Treasury for Platforms Accountholder Terms, RSP may refer the conflict or dispute to a court for resolution. If any person notifies RSP of a dispute, RSP does not need to decide if the dispute has merit before RSP takes further action. RSP may exercise any of these rights without notice to User.

Stripe Treasury for Platforms—Connected Accounts (United Kingdom)

Last modified: July 21, 2026

These Stripe Treasury for Platforms (United Kingdom) - Accountholder Terms of Service (“Stripe Treasury for Platforms (United Kingdom) Accountholder Terms”) supplement the General Terms, and together with the Stripe Financial Services Terms and the Stripe Treasury Terms, govern the use of the Stripe Treasury for Platforms Services as a Stripe Treasury for Platforms Accountholder if User is located in the Stripe Treasury for Platforms Territory. If User is a Stripe Connect Platform using the Stripe Treasury for Platforms Services for User’s own business purposes, these Stripe Treasury for Platforms (United Kingdom) Accountholder Terms apply to User as a Stripe Treasury for Platforms Accountholder, and references to “Stripe Connect Platform” in these terms are also references to User. Capitalised terms that are not defined in these Stripe Treasury for Platforms (United Kingdom) Accountholder Terms have the same meanings given to them in the General Terms, the Stripe Financial Services Terms and the Stripe Treasury Terms.

1. Stripe Treasury for Platforms Services.

2. Use of the Stripe Treasury for Platforms Services.

3. Set up and Operation of the Stripe Treasury for Platforms Account.

3.1 Representation and Warranty.

User represents as of the date User requests to open a Financial Account, and warrants at all times during the Term, that, if User is an individual opening the Financial Account for a business that is a sole proprietorship, User is the sole owner of that business.

3.2 Stripe Treasury for Platforms Accounts

The Stripe Treasury for Platforms Account will contain one or more Financial Accounts. Financial Accounts are denominated in GBP, or such other currencies as Stripe may make available from time to time in its sole discretion.

4. Treasury for Platforms Authorised Users.

4.1 Instructions from Stripe Connect Platform.

User authorises Stripe to accept instructions from User’s Stripe Connect Platform with respect to Financial Account Transactions, manage User’s Financial Account and take other actions on User’s Financial Account. User must provide User’s Stripe Connect Platform with all information regarding User’s Treasury for Platforms Authorised Users, any agent appointed under an applicable power of attorney, and the electronic credentials (such as logins) for User’s Financial Account, and User must immediately provide User’s Stripe Connect Platform with updated information if that information changes. User must notify User’s Stripe Connect Platform at least 5 business days before making any change to (a) User’s form of ownership (such as changing from a sole proprietor to a limited liability company); or (b) User’s Treasury for Platforms Authorised Users.

4.2 Agents.

If User chooses to appoint an agent under a power of attorney to manage the Financial Account, the power of attorney must be in a form acceptable to User’s Stripe Connect Platform and RSP. RSP and User’s Stripe Connect Platform may rely on a copy of the power of attorney and are not required to confirm its validity.

4.3 Instructions.

If RSP chooses to comply with an instruction that User’s Stripe Connect Platform transmits, RSP may impose any condition that it deems reasonable prior to carrying out the instruction. RSP may refuse to comply with an instruction from User’s Stripe Connect Platform if Stripe believes that:

(a) the instruction is fraudulent or User did not authorise it;

(b) there are multiple or conflicting instructions;

(c) User’s Treasury for Platforms Authorised User or agent is exceeding their authority in giving the instruction; or

(d) complying with the instruction may expose RSP or its Affiliates to liability.

5. Operation of Financial Accounts

5.1 Accessing User’s Stripe Treasury for Platforms Account.

User may access its Stripe Treasury for Platforms Account and the Stripe Treasury for Platforms Services through the Treasury for Platforms Dashboard, and by any other means User’s Stripe Connect Platform makes available to User. User may use the Treasury for Platforms Dashboard to view User’s Stripe Treasury for Platforms Account Information and conduct Financial Account Transactions, including adding funds to User’s Financial Account, transferring funds, and making payments from User’s Financial Account to third parties. If User uses other Services made available to User in connection with User’s Stripe Treasury for Platforms Account or the Treasury for Platforms Dashboard, as applicable, additional terms may apply to those Services. User must use the Treasury for Platforms Dashboard only in compliance with the documentation that User’s Stripe Connect Platform makes available to User.

5.2 Account Security.

User must keep User’s account credentials and the devices on which User accesses User’s Stripe Treasury for Platforms Account secure and confidential at all times. User must notify both User’s Stripe Connect Platform through the required channels and Stripe immediately at Treasury for Platforms-support@stripe.com if there has been any actual or suspected unauthorised access to User’s credentials. Failure to notify of any actual or suspected unauthorised access may impact User’s liability for any Financial Account Transactions that may occur.

5.3 Representations and Warranties.

User represents on the date User first uses the Stripe Treasury for Platforms Services, and warrants at all times during the Term, that:

5.4 Legal Process.

User authorises RSP to comply with each Legal Process relating to User or User’s Financial Account that RSP or User’s Stripe Connect Platform receives, without needing to determine whether that Legal Process was validly issued or is enforceable. If a Transaction Hold is in effect, RSP may continue to charge all applicable fees, even if User’s Financial Account cannot be closed. RSP may charge User a fee for, and recover Stripe’s costs incurred in, complying with each Legal Process. If the Financial Account Regulatory Requirements permit, RSP will deduct those fees and costs from User’s Available Treasury for Platforms Balance.

6. Transactions on User’s Financial Account.

6.1 Adding Funds onto User’s Financial Account

RSP is not obligated to notify User promptly after funds are added into User’s Financial Account. User can confirm via the Stripe Treasury for Platforms Dashboard whether RSP has received a Financial Account Transaction that adds funds to User’s Financial Account.

6.2 Transfers from User’s Financial Account.

By initiating a transfer from User’s Financial Account via the Treasury for Platforms Dashboard, User authorises (a) User’s Stripe Connect Platform to instruct RSP to make the Financial Account Transaction User specifies; and (b) RSP to act on those instructions. RSP may deduct the amount of each transfer that User’s Stripe Connect Platform initiates or approves from User’s Available Treasury for Platforms Balance, even if the transfer has not yet been completed. RSP may refuse any transfer (i) by any method that RSP does not specifically permit for User’s Financial Account; or (ii) that does not include all information RSP requires. For any Confirmation of Payee requests, the Stripe Connect Platform may reply on User’s behalf, and RSP is entitled to rely on User’s Stripe Connect Platform’s response to the same extent it would rely on User’s response.

6.3 Cross-Border Transfers Involving Currency Exchange.

If a transfer from User’s Financial Account requires a currency conversion, then the exchange rate used for that conversion will be determined and communicated to User by User’s Stripe Connect Platform. Where currency conversion is part of a transaction, any quoted payout amounts and associated fees are estimates, and may fluctuate without notice based on changes in the exchange rate that applies when the currency conversion takes place. RSP is not responsible for any losses User may suffer as a result of a currency exchange.

6.4 User’s Right to Stop Payment.

If User wishes to stop any scheduled or preauthorised transfer from User’s Financial Account, then User must give User’s Stripe Connect Platform instructions to do so in time for the Stripe Connect Platform to instruct Stripe accordingly at least 3 business days before the day on which the Financial Account Transaction is scheduled to be made. If User scheduled or preauthorised the transfer via the Stripe Treasury for Platforms Dashboard, then User may change or cancel the transfer via the Stripe Treasury for Platforms Dashboard at least 3 business days before the day on which the Financial Account Transaction is scheduled to be made.

6.5 Stripe’s Right to Refuse.

To the extent the Financial Account Regulatory Requirements do not prohibit the actions listed in this Section 6.5 (Stripe’s Right to Refuse), RSP may refuse to complete any Financial Account Transaction, including:

(a) if User’s Financial Account has insufficient funds to cover a Financial Account Transaction;

(b) if RSP reasonably doubts that it can collect any amounts owed to Stripe;

(c) if RSP is unable to verify ownership of or other information about User’s Financial Account, or the individual or entity to or from whom the funds will be transferred;

(d) to protect the security of User’s Financial Account and Stripe’s systems;

(e) if Stripe is concerned about potential fraud or other misconduct; or

(f) if the Financial Account Transaction would violate these Stripe Treasury for Platforms (United Kingdom) Accountholder Terms or the Financial Account Regulatory Requirements.

6.6 Financial Account Transaction Limitations.

Limits on the number and value of Financial Account Transactions that User may make from User’s Financial Account may be imposed by RSP or User’s Stripe Connect Platform. RSP may allow Financial Account Transactions that exceed applicable limits, or temporarily reduce User’s limits from time to time without notice (unless the Financial Account Regulatory Requirements require otherwise). RSP or User’s Stripe Connect Platform may change the limits at any time.

7. Transaction Management.

7.1 Reviewing User’s Financial Account Transactions.

(a) Obligation to Review. User must review User’s Financial Account history and each Financial Account Transaction as soon as possible. If User believes that there is an error or discrepancy in a Financial Account Transaction, User must notify User’s Stripe Connect Platform promptly. If User believes an unauthorised Financial Account Transaction has been made on User’s Financial Account, then User must immediately notify User’s Stripe Connect Platform. If RSP or User’s Stripe Connect Platform requests, User must submit a written statement with details about the unauthorised Financial Account Transaction. If User fails to notify User’s Stripe Connect Platform as required, or User’s Stripe Connect Platform does not notify RSP in a timely manner, then losses, damages, or costs User suffers as a result of the unauthorised Financial Account Transaction may not be recoverable, or recovery may be more time consuming or difficult.

(b) Assistance in Investigations. User must assist RSP and User’s Stripe Connect Platform in the investigation and related prosecution of claims for unauthorised Financial Account Transactions by completing the appropriate statements and reports that RSP or User’s Stripe Connect Platform reasonably requests.

7.2 Liability Related to Financial Account Transactions.

To the extent permitted by Law, User is responsible for all Financial Account Transactions on User’s Financial Account, whether or not they are authorised. User acknowledges that Financial Account Transactions may be sent to the wrong account if User provides RSP with inaccurate or incomplete information (including due to compromise or fraud). To the maximum extent permitted by Law, the Stripe Parties will not be liable to User, User’s Affiliates or any third party for any losses, damages or costs arising out of or relating to:

(a) a failed Financial Account Transaction on User’s Financial Account, including if RSP decides to refuse to pay or decline any Financial Account Transaction or if a Financial Account Transaction fails due to circumstances outside of Stripe’s control;

(b) RSP or User’s Stripe Connect Platform completing a Financial Account Transaction or otherwise acting in reliance upon any incorrect or incomplete information provided or made available to RSP or User’s Stripe Connect Platform;

(c) RSP’s refusal to comply with User’s Stripe Connect Platform’s instructions under Section 4.3 (Instructions); or

(d) any correspondent bank’s negligence or failure, or funds lost in transit.

7.3 Reporting Unauthorised and Incorrectly Executed Transactions.

If User believes there are fraudulent or unauthorised transactions on User’s Financial Account, User must immediately report any such Financial Account Transactions to RSP by filing a dispute through the Treasury for Platforms Dashboard.

If User believes that User’s Financial Account was subject to an incorrectly executed or defective charge, User must first contact the payee to resolve the dispute regarding the relevant Financial Account Transaction. If User is unable to resolve the dispute with the payee, then User must file the dispute through User’s Treasury for Platforms Dashboard.

User must notify any incorrectly executed, defective or unauthorised Financial Account Transactions to RSP without undue delay, and no later than 13 months from the date the Financial Account Transaction appears on User’s Financial Account.

7.4 Determining Incorrectly Executed, Defective or Unauthorised Transactions.

When User notifies RSP of an incorrectly executed, defective or unauthorised Financial Account Transaction through the Treasury for Platforms Dashboard, RSP will evaluate the submitted information in accordance with Financial Account Regulatory Requirements. If RSP determines, in its sole discretion, that the Financial Account Transaction was incorrectly executed, defective or unauthorised, RSP will credit the amount of the applicable Financial Account Transaction back to User’s Financial Account.

7.5 Liability for Unauthorised Transactions.

RSP will reimburse User for any unauthorised Financial Account Transaction where RSP determines that neither User nor a Treasury for Platforms Authorised User authorised the underlying Financial Account Transaction, provided that

(a) User will be liable for the first £35 of any unauthorised Financial Account Transaction where RSP reasonably believes User should have been aware of the unauthorised use;

(b) RSP will not be liable for any unauthorised transaction where (i) User or a Treasury for Platforms Authorised User used a Financial Account for an Unauthorised Purpose or with intent or gross negligence, failed to use the Financial Account in accordance with the terms of this Agreement, including to take all reasonable steps to keep account credentials and the devices on which User accesses User’s Stripe Treasury for Platforms Account secure and confidential at all times, or the Stripe Treasury for Platforms Product Guidelines; or (ii) User failed to immediately notify RSP of the unauthorised use.

If RSP reimburses User for an unauthorised or incorrectly executed Financial Account Transaction and subsequently determines that the relevant Financial Account Transaction was duly authorised and correctly executed, RSP may recoup or set off an amount equal to that reimbursed amount from User’s Financial Account.

8. Tax Reporting.

User is responsible for (a) determining User’s tax liability related to User’s Financial Account; and (b) reporting, withholding and remitting in a timely manner all taxes due to the appropriate Governmental Authority. User must promptly notify User’s Stripe Connect Platform of all changes related to User’s tax affairs, and provide all records and information that it or RSP requests to comply with the Financial Account Regulatory Requirements.

9. Fees and Security.

9.1 Fee Disclosure.

User’s Stripe Connect Platform is responsible for disclosing to User all applicable fees (if any) that apply to User’s use of the Stripe Treasury for Platforms Services. User’s Stripe Connect Platform will disclose those fees at the time User requests access to the Stripe Treasury for Platforms Services and will disclose any changes before they take effect.

9.2 User’s Responsibility for Disputes.

To the maximum extent permitted by Law, User is liable to Stripe for all losses, damages and costs that Stripe incurs as a result of any dispute involving User’s Financial Account, including as a result of relying on User’s Stripe Connect Platform’s representations or instructions. User authorises Stripe to (i) deduct these losses, damages and costs from funds in User’s Financial Account; or (ii) set them off in accordance with Section 9.3 (Setoff) with or without prior notice to User.

9.3 Setoff.

RSP may deduct, recoup or setoff all fees User owes Stripe (if any) from funds in User’s Financial Account. Alternatively, Stripe may invoice User for some or all of those fees on a monthly basis in arrears, and User must pay the fees within 30 days after the date of the invoice.

10. Restricting or Closing User’s Financial Account.

10.1 Closing User’s Stripe Treasury for Platforms Account.

Unless otherwise required under Financial Account Regulatory Requirements, after User’s Stripe Treasury for Platforms Account is closed, RSP will enable User’s Stripe Connect Platform to provide User access to User’s Stripe Treasury for Platforms Account history for 60 days.

10.2 Adverse Claims.

If there are conflicting instructions with respect to User’s Stripe Treasury for Platforms Account or if there is any dispute regarding User’s Stripe Treasury for Platforms Account, then without limiting Stripe’s rights under these Stripe Treasury for Platforms Accountholder Terms, Stripe may refer the conflict or dispute to a court for resolution. If any person notifies Stripe of a dispute, Stripe does not need to decide if the dispute has merit before Stripe takes further action. Stripe may exercise any of these rights without notice to User.

11. Limitation of Liability.

To the extent that the Financial Account Regulatory Requirements invalidate or render unenforceable any limitations or exclusions of liability of RSP and its Affiliates under this Agreement with respect to failing to stop payment on a Financial Account Transaction, or paying an unauthorised Financial Account Transaction, then the Stripe Parties’ aggregate liability with respect to those circumstances will be limited to the face value of the Financial Account Transaction.

At Stripe’s request, User must provide proof as Stripe requires that the Stripe Treasury for Platforms Accountholder Terms are binding on the Connected Account. If Stripe believes that User's existing acceptance process does not create a binding agreement between Stripe and the Connected Account, then, upon Stripe’s request, User must modify that process as Stripe requires;

(c) notify each Connected Account if Stripe approves its access to the Stripe Treasury for Platforms Services, and promptly notify a Connected Account that becomes a Stripe Treasury for Platforms Accountholder if Stripe suspends or terminates its access to the Stripe Treasury for Platforms Services; and

(d) notify Stripe Treasury for Platforms Accountholders of all changes to the Stripe Treasury for Platforms Accountholder Terms and ensure that those Stripe Treasury for Platforms Accountholders agree to them. If any Stripe Treasury for Platforms Accountholder does not agree to the modified Stripe Treasury for Platforms Accountholder Terms, then User must immediately stop making the Stripe Treasury for Platforms Services available to that Stripe Treasury for Platforms Accountholder.

User and the relevant Connected Account are jointly and severally liable to Stripe for amounts the Connected Account owes to Stripe, and Stripe may collect these amounts from User in accordance with this Agreement.

If Stripe determines the fees do not comply, User must immediately modify the fees and reimburse the Stripe Treasury for Platforms Accountholder as Stripe directs.

5.5 Cross-Border Transfers Involving Currency Exchange.

If a requested Financial Account Transaction requires a currency conversion, then the exchange rate used for that conversion will be determined as stated in the Documentation. Where currency conversion is part of a Financial Account Transaction, any quoted payout amounts and associated fees are estimates, and may fluctuate based on changes in the exchange rate that applies when the currency conversion takes place.
