Stripe Account Opening Process: Requirements, Steps and Consultancy

What Is Stripe and Why Can't It Be Used Directly From Turkey?

Stripe is a developer-friendly online payment infrastructure preferred by millions of e-commerce and SaaS businesses worldwide. Capable of processing credit card, debit card, and digital wallet payments in over 135 currencies, Stripe has become the standard for subscription-based services, digital products, and businesses expanding into global markets.

However, Stripe does not provide direct services to companies registered in Turkey or to Turkish bank accounts. This is because Stripe can only open accounts for companies officially registered in the countries it supports (such as the US, UK, and UAE). This doesn't mean entrepreneurs from Turkey cannot use Stripe; with the right company structure set up in an eligible country, you can access Stripe completely legally.

Which Country Should You Set Up a Company In to Open a Stripe Account?

The most commonly preferred structure for Stripe access is forming an LLC in the United States, which stands out for both its fast formation process and broad Stripe infrastructure support. Alternatively, forming an LTD company in the United Kingdom is also a strong option for businesses targeting the European market. Businesses focused on the Middle East market can instead access both a Stripe UAE account and regional payment providers by setting up a company in Dubai.

Which country is right for you depends on your target market, invoicing currency, and tax planning. At World Company Setup, we determine the most suitable country-structure combination for your business needs together during a free initial consultation.

How Does the Stripe Account Opening Process Work?

The Stripe account opening process consists of clear steps when planned correctly:

  • Company formation: Completing official company registration in the chosen country (US, UK, or Dubai).
  • Bank account opening: Opening a corporate bank account valid in that country under the company name.
  • Website and document preparation: Preparing the privacy policy, refund terms, contact, and product/service description pages that Stripe requires.
  • Stripe application: Creating the Stripe account with company details, bank account, and website.
  • Verification and approval: Completing Stripe's identity and document verification process.

When all documents are complete and meet Stripe's criteria, the account typically becomes active within 1-3 business days.

Stripe Commission Rates

Stripe's standard commission rate is approximately 2.9% + $0.30 USD per transaction for US cards. Additional fees may apply for international cards and currency conversions. Custom pricing options are also available for businesses with high transaction volumes.

Note: The rates above are current as of July 2026 and may be changed by Stripe without prior notice. We recommend checking Stripe's official website for current rates and fees.
