This x100. We’re based in the UK but most of our customers are in the US so we bill in USD.

The most annoying thing is that US customers pay additional fees because we’re based in the UK, and our UK customers pay extra fees because we’re billing in dollars.

Stripe customer support very responsive, but they’ve told us the only way to fix it is to open a bank account in the US - which would mean we pay tax in the UK and US. We tried opening a USD bank account in the UK, but Stripe told us after we’d done it that they couldn’t send money to it. Maddening problem with an otherwise brilliant service.


You can open a USD account in US with TransferWise business.


Looks like a consumer-oriented service, no?


They have business accounts too.
