AVOID STRIPE PLATFORM at all cost. AVOID STRIPE PLATFORM at all cost. Please check Stripe.co.uk reviews for real reviews from real customers. They are taking huge amount of money to the stripe platform and then in the name of verification they will hold money for weeks and they wuld decide to close down account, but still will be holding those money in stripe, won't even refunds to customers and won't release it to business, won't even reply to any of your emails. AVOID TO USE STRIPE , there are lot of better genuine options to use same financial services.

Read Before It's Too Late If you are a small business owner, using Stripe is like giving your money to a random person on the street and hoping they don't run off with it. I've seen amazing businesses destroyed because of Stripe's horrible fraud detection algorithm. It's 2024, and they still can't figure out how to develop a competent algorithm that can tell the difference between a glitch and actual fraud, and their customer service team will eventually stop responding to your calls, emails, and DM's once they freeze your funds. They froze my funds for 5 months, and the only reason I got my funds back is because I got a lawyer involved to get ahold of them (they ignored my emails for months), and they finally realized they made a mistake and released the funds. Had I not hired a lawyer, my funds would still be stuck in the account, probably forever. Protect yourself and your business by staying far away from Stripe.

Terrible customer support While the platform itself may be very good and well developed, the support team is extremely slow and move away their responsibility on other agents that can't solve the problem either. Right now my funds in SEK have been somewhat held in hostage without me being able to payout due to minimum payout threshold being extremely high. I asked them to convert my SEK to EUR with the 2% conversion rate. After confirming me in livechat they could fix this but the ticket / matter had to be moved over email it took them 1 week to respond saying "Ohh I see you have connected an SEK bank so I would assume you have fixed the problem".... Well, no that did not fix the problem. They are giving me soollutions I have not agreed upon so I contacted the livechat support again and they told me they would have to notify the same people again on the email ticket meaning I would most likely have to wait for another week for a response. Neither can they give me an estimated handling-time for the matter.. I'd give 4/5 stars for the platform / design but 0/5 stars in customer service..

This is just bad and without any explanations. Our company is located in Europe and we work with USA clients. Started using their services and within a few days the account got blocked due to fraud even though we have all of the receipts invoices confirmations etc. from the client. Stripe decided for themselves that the client didn't authorize this charge and informed us without any reason that the charges will be released. Now I have to wait for the money to be released and charge again using a different platform. Stripe doesn't even have support besides bots or 1 way phone calls. Dear Stripe Management, If you are reading this contact us to resolve this issue.

Worst experience with platform. Worst experience with platform. Holding 2000£ from 11th April and not responding to any emails , no reply at all from any form of communication. They decided to close account on stripe long time ago, not refunding any money they ate holding and not even releasing to any accounts. First email they mentioned they will revert whole amount to the original payment method it was paid on 22nd April, today 26th april, still no update, no refund ,and stopped replying to any emails. Avoid this company at all cost if you dont want your customers money stucked with them.. there are lot of better options for payment than this 1000% better
