San Francisco-based startup Stripe is rolling out its services in eight new European countries, the company said in a press release on Monday (Sept. 9).
Estonia, Greece, Latvia, Lithuania, Poland, Portugal, Slovakia and Slovenia can now start accepting payments in over 130 currencies from anywhere in the world.
“Central and Eastern Europe have a lot of entrepreneurial and technological talent, and we believe even more of its companies could be expanding globally,” says Felix Huber, head of Central and Eastern Europe, Middle East and Africa at Stripe. “Stripe aims to empower more companies from this region to export their creativity and ambition to the rest of the world.”
Companies can also use the Stripe platform to handle accounting, billing, third-party payouts and mobile payments from a centralized dashboard. Mobile wallets Apple Pay and Google Pay can also be accessed by Stripe users.
