We offer financial infrastructure and a variety of services to serve the needs of a wide range of users, from startups to enterprises, with global scale and industry-leading reliability and product quality. All financial services businesses face a trade-off between access, which we want to expand, and risk, which we want to minimize. We use machine learning to scalably and intelligently optimize across both. Artificial Intelligence and Machine learning is an integral part of almost every service at Stripe.
