Stripe is one of the world's leading payment platforms, trusted by millions of businesses. The question users ask most is how safe it really is. Let's look at how Stripe protects you, what the risks are and how to keep them to a minimum.

Why Stripe can be considered safe

Certified to global standards. Stripe is compliant with PCI DSS, the leading security standard in the payments industry, so customer data is protected at the highest level. Giants like Amazon, Shopify and Lyft trust Stripe with their payments.

Advanced encryption. Stripe uses AES-256 encryption, and data is only ever transmitted over secure TLS connections. This keeps attackers from intercepting it.

3D Secure verification. Support for Verified by Visa and Mastercard SecureCode means the cardholder has to confirm the payment an extra time, which lowers the risk of unauthorized charges.

If a dispute comes up, the customer can request their money back (a chargeback), and Stripe acts as the intermediary between the buyer and the bank.
