Lender profile

Stripe Capital

Payment platform Checked Sep 30, 2026
Stripe Capital offers financing by invitation to U.S. businesses that process payments on Stripe, repaid automatically from a percentage of Stripe sales for a flat fee. Each offer is either a merchant cash advance provided by YouLend or a loan issued by Celtic Bank or Lead Bank, and some businesses may be offered a line of credit.
Heads up. Offers go only to U.S. businesses with at least 3 months of processing on Stripe, and you cannot choose whether an offer is a loan or an advance. Stripe says funding might not be available in certain states but does not name them.
