About the Team

The Risk team builds trust by helping businesses access and use Stripe’s financial infrastructure while protecting users, financial partners, and the broader ecosystem from harm.

The team helps legitimate businesses access Stripe’s financial services, provides credit to creditworthy businesses, helps users manage risk, prevents fraud and financial crime, manages Stripe’s credit exposure, meets regulatory and financial-partner obligations, and enables product teams to launch and grow products safely. The team develops policies, standards, advanced AI, infrastructure, and product experiences to manage risk across Stripe and its users.
