Today, programmable financial services company Stripe opened its new Dublin headquarters, tripling its office space to 14,500 square meters as the company prepares for its next phase of growth.
The new dual headquarters at One Wilton Park was officially opened by Taoiseach Micheál Martin, alongside Stripe cofounder John Collison and Chief Revenue Officer Eileen O’Mara.
Stripe revealed that it now serves 70,000 Irish businesses and solopreneurs—including tech unicorns like Wayflyer and Flipdish, iconic organisations like the GAA and The Irish Times, and large enterprises like Smyths and Irish Life—with 2,000 new Irish users joining every month. Irish businesses have grown their collective payment volume by 100x since the company last moved offices in 2016.
Despite increasing barriers to international trade, Irish businesses that use Stripe remain staunchly global. Over two-thirds (70%) of Irish users are selling internationally, and they have collectively grown their cross-border payment volume by 37% over the last 12 months.
“Stripe is proudly Irish and we’re thrilled to double down on our global operations here,” said Stripe cofounder John Collison. “The Irish internet economy is sucking diesel, and this new headquarters will help us support growth for businesses all across Europe.”
The new dual headquarters will house expanding teams in engineering, product, operations, and sales, and bolster Stripe’s efforts to help its users adopt frontier technology—including AI and stablecoins—to grow faster. It features large event spaces designed to bring together founders and business leaders based in Ireland and across Europe.
