It's great Stripe is coming up with new services and changing how we do business online. Most purchases are now happening online, subscription based services are on rise and consumer buying habit is changing as well.

I like Stripe and I use Stripe for my business. What I don't like about Stripe is they stepping on toes of their customers. Stripe starts with API service and later they introduce their product competing with early adopters. A good example is Stripe Billing [0]. Additionally, they position their products top on their partners page, therefore making it "popular". I wouldn't be surprised to see Stripe launching their own virtual bank product.

Stripe is probably using Apple playbook. Once you’re on the platform, everything works nice and smooth. It makes sense for Stripe to deliver on all the finance related experiences.
