Stripe Blocks Law-Abiding Business
I, the owner of a US-based company, have used Stripe for many years. I warn you: this is an unreliable partner. Stripe unilaterally froze our account, demanding proof that we are not conducting business in high-risk areas (Crimea, DNR, LNR), based on an unfounded assumption due to a website mention. We fully comply with US law and have never processed payments from these zones. Absurdity: Stripe demands proof of the absence of violations. This is illogical and an exaggerated "risk tolerance" that shifts the burden of proof onto the customer. Main Risk: Waste of time and the threat of blocking your funds (Funds Hold) due to arbitrary decisions by the compliance department. My Advice: If you value stability, immediately look for more stable and reasonable alternatives to Stripe.
