Stripe EIN FAQ
Is this better than Stripe Atlas?
If you already have a US LLC or plan to form one yourself, our EIN service is significantly cheaper ($172-$402 vs $500+). Stripe Atlas is better if you want everything bundled in one package.
Do I need a US LLC before getting an EIN?
For Stripe, yes—you'll need a US LLC (or Corporation) first, then obtain your EIN. We recommend Wyoming or Delaware LLCs for international founders.
Which bank works best with Stripe?
Mercury and Relay are popular choices for international founders. Both integrate seamlessly with Stripe and accept foreign-owned LLCs with EINs.
Can I use my EIN for other payment processors?
Yes! Your EIN works with Stripe, PayPal, Square, Braintree, and any other US payment processor that requires tax documentation.
