Stripe raises $600M at nearly $36B valuation

Stripe cofounder here. This isn't really new -- it's an extension of our last round (https://www.cnbc.com/2019/09/19/fintech-start-up-stripe-notc...).

That said, we've seen a big spike in signups over the past few weeks. If any HN readers have integrated recently and have feedback, we're always eager to hear it. Feel free to email me at patrick@stripe.com and I'll route to the right team(s).

As always, thank you to the many HNers who are also active Stripe users!

Patrick, we switched away from Stripe because your risk management systems kept declining valid cards in certain low-GDP countries, and there was no way to override.

We are one of the larger SaaS companies and as a personal lover of Stripe, it was surprising to me that you couldn’t customise these systems, esp at our volume.

We switched to Ayden and saw very significant revenue increases in those countries; because valid cards stopped getting declined.
