Embedded banking accounts for platforms and marketplaces
Stripe Treasury is an embedded banking-as-a-service API that enables Stripe Connect platforms and marketplaces to offer FDIC-insured financial accounts to their users. Launched in 2020, Stripe Treasury allows platforms to give their merchants and users actual bank accounts with balances, ACH transfers, same-day payouts, and Stripe Issuing-powered debit cards—all branded under the platform's name. Built on partnerships with Goldman Sachs and Evolve Bank & Trust, Stripe Treasury provides FDIC insurance up to $250,000 per user account. The API is fully integrated with the rest of Stripe's ecosystem, meaning balances from Stripe payments automatically flow into Treasury accounts. Platforms can use Treasury to dramatically improve their value proposition—a project management SaaS can offer their contractors same-day payment and a spending card, creating a sticky financial relationship. The stored value accounts support instant internal transfers, scheduled payouts, and spend via card. Stripe's compliance infrastructure handles KYC, AML, and regulatory reporting. Treasury accounts come with detailed transaction data and reporting that platforms can surface to their users. Use cases include freelance marketplace wallet accounts, SaaS platform merchant accounts, and gig economy worker financial accounts. The deep integration with Stripe's payment stack makes Treasury a compelling choice for businesses already on Stripe Connect.
