LONDON—Stripe today shared new tools to help UK businesses sell globally and seize the AI commerce opportunity, from expanded multi-currency treasury capabilities to new fraud defences, and the ability for UK businesses to sell across multiple AI agents through a single integration. Stripe also shared it now supports more than 1.5 million businesses and solopreneurs in the UK, including the country's fastest growing startups like ElevenLabs and Synthesia, and its most famous brands like Currys and Lloyds Bank.

Sell everywhere from the UK
Stripe has expanded Stripe Treasury to let UK businesses hold, convert, and move money across GBP, EUR, and USD from a single account, and pay out to suppliers, contractors, and third parties in over 100 countries with just an email address.

UK businesses that want to expand global sales instantly can now sell to customers in 195 countries while Stripe handles indirect tax, disputes, fraud protection, customer support, and more—through Stripe Managed Payments.

Businesses on Stripe can now automatically localise pricing for international customers with Adaptive Pricing, which drives an average 17.8% uplift in cross-border revenue.

Stripe also shared Checkout Studio—a home for businesses to build and maintain all of their global checkout forms, with support for over 125 payment methods and built-in A/B testing.

Build for the AI economy
Stripe is building the economic infrastructure for AI, and shared new tools to help UK businesses use AI to grow.

Stripe announced that, beginning later this year, UK businesses will be able to sell to customers inside AI interfaces, with the Agentic Commerce Suite—which makes products discoverable and purchasable from inside AI interfaces through a single integration. UK businesses with entities in the US, including JD Sports and Wolf & Badger, are already selling to customers in the US via platforms including Gemini and Copilot.

UK businesses can now use Stripe Radar to protect themselves from AI-era fraud, including multi-account abuse, free trial fraud, and pay-as-you-go abuse. Stripe Radar has also been expanded to cover Bacs Direct Debit transactions, and all other local payment methods on Stripe.

Conor McNamara, Chief Revenue Officer for EMEA at Stripe, said: "Two things are going to define the next decade for UK businesses: selling globally and building for the AI economy. Today, we're making both dramatically easier. Whether it's making your products purchasable through AI agents, localising pricing for a customer in Tokyo, or defending against new forms of fraud—Stripe handles the complexity so businesses can focus on growth."

UK businesses on Stripe
The product showcase comes the day after Stripe announced a significant partnership with Lloyds Bank to bring Stripe’s payments infrastructure to UK small businesses. Other new Stripe customers in the UK include Currys, Wayve, and TripAdvisor.

These updates were shared at Stripe Tour London, the company’s annual internet economy conference in the UK, where over 1,500 founders and business leaders gathered at ExCel London.
