Stripe unveiled a new AI foundation model for payments and expanded support for stablecoins and embedded finance.
The firm made the announcement at its annual Sessions conference, where it introduced more than 60 product updates. The enhanced stablecoin integration comes more than six months after the firm acquired Bridge for $1.1 billion.
AI foundation model
Stripe introduced the world’s first foundation model for payments, trained on tens of billions of transaction data points. The model dramatically improved fraud detection, increasing accuracy for card-testing attack detection from 59% to 97% among large users.
Stripe also launched Orchestration, a tool allowing businesses to manage multiple payment processors from a single Stripe interface.
The Optimized Checkout Suite also saw major upgrades. It now incorporates over 100 real-time signals to personalize checkout, support for over 125 global payment methods, and one-click Klarna integration via Link.
Additionally, Stripe revealed Authorization Boost, a new AI tool that improves transaction success by dynamically updating cards and retrying failed payments. It also teased the upcoming launch of Smart Disputes, which will automate chargeback responses with dispute-specific evidence.
Stablecoin accounts and global payouts
Stripe deepened its push into stablecoins and digital assets with the announcement of Stablecoin Financial Accounts.
These accounts will allow users in over 100 countries to hold, send, and receive stablecoin balances using both fiat and crypto rails. The company also plans to launch a USDC-denominated Visa card, enabling real-time crypto-linked spending.
Additionally, in a move targeting embedded finance providers, the firm introduced expanded functionality for capital, letting platforms extend financing to users beyond Stripe’s ecosystem through third-party data integrations.
Meanwhile, updates to Issuing allow for the creation of complex rules and increased program flexibility, including support for consumer credit cards.
Stripe’s Money Management updates enable businesses to store, convert, and move money across currencies and borders, with expanded global payouts in 58 countries using only an email address.
Additional upgrades include real-time revenue recognition, localized pricing APIs, and upcoming features like Stripe Profiles and Stripe Verified, reinforcing Stripe’s position as a financial backbone for internet businesses.
