IANAL, but couldn't you incorporate a wholly-owned US subsidiary using something like Stripe Atlas to handle USD payments and reduce your fees?

By the way, my company has the opposite problem. Our Stripe account is registered in the UK and even though we process payments for Australian customers in AUD their local banks still charge them an extortionate "foreign transaction fee". This means that we had to open a separate Stripe account registered in Australia just to avoid that.

i dont want to open a US business just to process US payments. the cost and time would be to high. and taxes. did you open a australian stripe account without an australian business?
We had to incorporate in Australia anyway, so I guess you're in a different situation.
