What is Stripe? Stripe is one of the world's largest online payments platforms, processing payments for millions of businesses. Cross-border merchant payouts can route over SWIFT when there's no local Stripe presence in the destination country.
How Stripe settles cross-border payments: Local rails for most payouts (ACH, SEPA, BACS, FPS); SWIFT for cross-border merchant payouts in non-supported currencies, large balances, and certain treasury transfers. This means Stripe sometimes uses SWIFT. Cross-border payouts in currencies Stripe does not settle locally, large treasury sweeps, and certain enterprise customer transfers.
Tracking a Stripe transfer: Stripe Dashboard → Payouts → Transaction details. SWIFT-routed payouts include a wire reference; request UETR from Stripe support for live SWIFT GPI tracking.
