Ask HN: Have you been rejected by Stripe Atlas?
4 points by cryptography on Aug 14, 2018 | hide | past | favorite | 3 comments
Few days ago I received a rejection from Stripe Atlas, because they deemed the business "too risky". What was your experience with Atlas? Have you reapplied after initial rejection? I want to apply in the future with a different business, but I am afraid that this rejection will negatively impact my future application(s).


Card networks and our financial partners have restrictions on the types of businesses we can support: https://stripe.com/docs/atlas#cannot

Businesses are looked at individually, and you should totally start a new application if it's a new/different business (that's not on that list). You can always email us ahead of time (atlas@stripe.com) if you need any advice.

I'd also like to take a closer look at your first application. Could you email me at edwin@stripe.com?


It’s kind-of surprising to see “computer technical support” on the list of high-risk businesses.


I have sent you an e-mail.
