We have been ramping up our rollout of Stripe Issuing over time, and will do similar for Stripe Treasury. Can we have your email address? (You can email it to me at this handle at stripe.com) Depending on the specifics of your use case, we may be at general availability.

There are no particular revenue or scale requirements; we tend to roll out features to a few users across the spectrum because supporting users from startup-in-a-garage to publicly traded customers is what we do. We would be thrilled to talk about particular potential use cases; we do envision some B2B fintech applications would find the set of capabilities appealing. Just drop some details on the form and we'll be in touch.

Unless that startup is a site that has naughty pictures!

You're getting downvoted but it's fair criticism. Unfortunately it's also probably out of Stripe's hands, given that it tends to be driven by partner limitations.
I also edited out something unnecessary.

But maybe Stripe could be pushing back against those limitations or helping to find other solutions. Apple seems to be able to (see Grindr).

>Apple seems to be able to (see Grindr).

Can you please elaborate on this?

You pay for a Grindr subscription through Apple using IAP. Grindr presumably wouldn’t be allowed to use Stripe given their terms of use.

If one wanted to create something like Grindr but as a website instead of an app, the options for payment are extremely limited.

You can't use Stripe for a dating app?
Or maybe people could push back against normalizing support for these types of businesses. Many don't agree that this should be supported, and think Stripe is correct here.
