Stripe announces major expansion of global partner program including new partnerships in APAC
Stripe, a financial infrastructure platform for businesses, today launched the Stripe Partner Ecosystem, a new partner program with leading firms whose services enable Stripe users to thrive in the internet economy. The expanded program features new partnerships in Asia Pacific and includes more support for businesses in the region to tap into Stripe’s partner ecosystem for growth and scale globally.
