Stripe: $95 billion

Stripe, Inc. is a San Francisco-based financial services and software as a service (SaaS) firm with offices in Dublin, Ireland. Payment processing software and application programming interfaces (APIs) for e-commerce websites and mobile applications are the company's primary offerings.

Stripe, which was founded in 2011, assists small companies as well as industry heavyweights like Microsoft and Zoom in processing online payments. Stripe and Ford Motor Company announced a five-year agreement in January 2022, in which Stripe would process transactions for consumer car orders and reservations. Stripe teamed up with Spotify the same month to let creators monetize subscriptions, take payments, and start recurring revenue streams. With a $95 billion value, it is still the most valuable fintech in the United States, up from $35 billion last year. Stripe is also the world's second-most valued company, behind only ByteDance, the owner of TikTok.
