Stripe analyzed more than 100 of the fastest-growing businesses on its platform and found that they completed their first cross-border transaction 24 times faster than the enterprise benchmark. In their first year, these businesses processed payments from customers in 25 countries, had a 1.6x higher share of cross-border payment volume from Brazil, India and Argentina, and offered 2x as many local payment methods. In H1 2026, their attempted fraud rate was nearly 1.8x the benchmark; more than half used at least one custom fraud rule in Stripe Radar, but businesses using custom rules had fewer rules than the benchmark.
