“We think this investment will be helpful as we continue to march upmarket and serve these larger companies,” Reuters quoted Stripe co-founder John Collison as saying.
The firm intends to use the funds to expand Stripe payments to new regions including Southeast Asia and India.
Additionally, the company intends to use the money to bolster its client portfolio. It also plans to open an engineering hub in Singapore.
