With Coterique I want to support the local economy while being a part of the global economy and Atlas is going to help me do that.

Introducing Stripe Atlas. A new way to start an internet business anywhere.
Global access to startup tools
With Stripe Atlas, entrepreneurs can easily incorporate a U.S. company, set up a U.S. bank account, and start accepting payments with Stripe. Starting today, it’s available to developers and entrepreneurs globally.
The promise of the internet is that location matters less. However, geographic barriers and associated complexity make it difficult to start a global business in many parts of the world.
Developers around the world should have equal access to the tools and services that are available to those in Berlin and Boston. Atlas is designed to help.
-
Incorporate your company
Atlas helps you incorporate a U.S. Delaware company in a couple of days. You just fill out a simple form; we generate the necessary paperwork and handle the rest.
-
Open a business bank account
Stripe Atlas opens a business bank account for you with Silicon Valley Bank, the world’s leading bank for tech companies. There’s no need to visit a bank branch in person to get set up.
-
Accept payments with Stripe
We set up a Stripe account that you can use to start accepting payments from customers in 100+ currencies right away. You can take advantage of the complete Stripe product suite, including Connect and Relay.
-
Get tax and legal guidance
Stripe Atlas entrepreneurs will have access to guidance on U.S. law and taxes from Orrick, the international tech law firm, and PwC, the global accounting firm. Every Atlas entrepreneur will be able to chat–for free–with a professional from PwC.
The Stripe Atlas network
Stripe Atlas is invite-only to start. We’ll be scaling it to as many companies as possible as quickly as we can. You can apply directly or get a referral from one of our partners.
We’re working with more than sixty accelerators, investors, and partners from around the world to get Atlas in the hands of promising startups. In addition, we’re working with some selected companies to make it easier for Atlas startups to take advantage of services: for example, AWS will extend $15,000 in free credits.
I believe that we’re going to see a revolution of startups coming to the global market from places that we don’t even know exist. And Atlas could help them to start that company in a global environment from the beginning.

Atlas will allow us to access a world-class banking system and financial system, which really wasn’t possible before.

Geography shouldn’t be a barrier to building a company. Atlas could motivate and help tons of companies launch.

You shouldn’t have to be a Silicon Valley insider to start a global company.

What does it cost?
Stripe Atlas will be free for the first 100 users. After that, the Atlas beta will cost $500, which includes all fees associated with incorporating your company and opening your business bank account. You’ll pay Stripe’s standard fees of 2.9% + 30¢ per successful charge.
-
What exactly do I get?
Stripe Atlas will help to incorporate your company in the U.S., open a business bank account, and create a Stripe account so you can charge customers around the world. You’ll also get access to support from PwC, Orrick, and AWS.
-
How long does it take?
Once you provide the required information about your product and team, Stripe Atlas shortens the process that typically takes months into days. In most cases, you’ll be able to start accepting payments from customers in less than a week.
