When is the rest of EU coming up? Same regulations everywhere I can't understand the hold up.

Might be an off thought, but maybe a disproportionate fraud comes from the area

When will it be 2 day settlement in the EU like it is in the US. I don't get how competitors can do it and yet stripe still holds off.

I live in Cyprus which is a very small market so I won't refer to it, but knowing I can get much better rates than stripe's in Greece for example is an indication that fraud is low in the region.

Does this mean Stripe Japan users can now accept USD, or is it still only JPY?

This does mean that Stripe users in Japan can charge in USD, or our other supported currencies. You put the currency in the API call based on whatever logic you want; we charge the user's CC in the specified currency; we credit your bank account JPY at the appropriate rate. (I work at Stripe, in Japan.)

As is typical for Stripe, this involved an ungodly amount of offline work to enable an extra query parameter that most of our customers will never have to think deeply about the implementation of.

Can't you request them to do that anyway? That said, I still don't understand why this is so relevant to a business?
